Mangrove forests store more organic carbon across ecosystem carbon pools than most other coastal and forested ecosystems, and are subject to high global rates of deforestation. For these reasons, they are recognized as prime candidates for inclusion in climate change mitigation strategies. However, the ecological drivers of regional and micro-scale...
Seagrasses and coral reefs play important roles in nutrient cycling, coastal protection, and maintaining marine biodiversity. However, these coastal marine organisms are declining globally due to anthropogenic stressors, such as rising ocean temperatures, ocean acidification, and eutrophication. These organisms live in close association with their microbiomes, which can be beneficial...
Contaminants used at low elevation, such as pesticides on crops, can be transported tens of kilometers and deposited in adjacent mountains in many parts of the world. Atmospherically deposited organic contaminants in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, USA, have exceeded some thresholds of concern, but the spatial and temporal...
Vitamin E improved liver histology in children and adults with NAFLD who participated in TONIC and PIVENS clinical trials,
but with significant inter-individual variability in its efficacy. Cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) is the major enzyme
metabolizing Vit E, with two common genetic variants (V433M, rs2108622 and W12G, rs3093105) found to...

Assessing uncertainties in hydrologic models can improve accuracy in predicting future streamflow. Here,
simulated streamflows using the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model at coarse (1/16°) and fine (1/120°)
spatial resolutions were evaluated against observed streamflows from 217 watersheds. In particular, the adequacy
of VIC simulations in groundwater- versus runoff-dominated watersheds...
As the western United States continues to experience prolonged drought that is extending water deficits and threatening ecosystem resilience and socioeconomic systems, it will be vital to understand the relationship between water use and transport for proper water resource management. This is especially important to the agricultural areas of the...
This work reports on how resource rent is distributed among owners of exclusive fishing grounds in the spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) fishery of Punta Allen, Mexico. This MSC certified small-scale fishery is co-managed through Territorial User Rights. Members of the local fishing cooperative, have exclusive access to individual fishing grounds....
We investigated scaling of conservative solute transport using temporal moment
analysis of 98 tracer experiments (384 breakthrough curves) conducted in 44 streams
located on five continents. The experiments span 7 orders of magnitude in discharge
(10⁻ ³ to 10³ m³/s), span 5 orders of magnitude in longitudinal scale (10¹ to...
To give the many Oregon farmers, who, are unable to leave
home to take a four-year course in the Agricultural College, a
share in the advantages of a higher education the Experiment
Station has for years conducted- farmers' institutes in various
parts of the state.
The success of these encouraged...

After three decades of active research coupling hydrology and stream ecology, the connection among solute transport, metabolism and processing is still unresolved. These knowledge gaps obscure the functioning of stream ecosystems and how those ecosystems interact with other landscape processes. We must resolve these challenges to wisely manage water resources,...
Mangroves provide a wide range of ecosystem services, including nutrient cycling, soil formation, wood production, fish spawning grounds, ecotourism and carbon (C) storage¹. High rates of tree and plant growth, coupled with anaerobic, water-logged soils that slow decomposition, result in large long-term C storage. Given their global significance as large...

Understanding the effects of climate variability on growth dynamics and timing of early life history events in marine fishes can provide insights into survival, recruitment and productivity. We examined interannual variation in indicators of larval growth rates, size at hatch and metamorphosis, and the timing of metamorphosis of northern rock...
Anadromous salmonids are viewed as a prized commodity and cultural symbol throughout the Pacific coast of North America. Unfortunately, several native salmonid populations are threatened or at risk of extinction. Despite this, little is known about the behavior and survival of these fish as the juveniles transition from freshwater to...
While historiography and interest in Tudor England at both the popular and specialist levels presents few signs of diminishing, there may nonetheless exist a sense that we have little left to learn about this period and its culture. A notable gap in our knowledge, however, remains regarding the mysterious disease...
Artificial propagation has been a prominent part of the management of salmonids in Oregon since the late 1800s, and will continue to have an important role to play in the recovery of wild stocks of anadromous salmonids in Oregon. Hatcheries and reviews of hatchery programs have been controversial and are...
Tuna fisheries around the world are governed by Regional Fishery Management Organizations (RFMOs), whose membership includes both harvesting nations and nations in whose waters the targeted fish populations reside. The outcomes of the policies established by an RFMO will depend on subsequent interactions among the fleets, the fishing sites and...
To best manage Eagle Creek National Fish Hatchery, negative interactions between hatchery salmonids and Endangered Species Act listed wild salmonids in the Eagle Creek Basin need to be minimized. Our objectives were: 1) to compare summer rearing densities in two similar streams, where one stream received a release of hatchery...
