We conduct a hedonic analysis to estimate the response of agricultural land use to water supply
information under the Prior Appropriation Doctrine by using Idaho as a case study. Our analysis includes
long-term climate (weather) trends and water supply conditions as well as seasonal water supply forecasts.
A farm-level panel...
Predatory lionfishes (Pterois volitans and P. miles) were introduced to Florida waters during the mid to late 1980s, and eventually established self-sustaining breeding populations in the tropical western Atlantic. These invasive species are now widespread along the southeastern seaboard of the United States, across the Caribbean Sea, and in the...

We apply GENMOM, a coupled atmosphere–ocean climate model, to simulate eight equilibrium time
slices at 3000-year intervals for the past 21,000 years forced
by changes in Earth–Sun geometry, atmospheric greenhouse
gases (GHGs), continental ice sheets, and sea level. Simulated
global cooling during the Last Glacial Maximum
(LGM) is 3.8°C and...

The Middle Fork John Day Basin in Northeastern Oregon is prime habitat for spring Chinook salmon and Steelhead trout. In 2008, a major tributary supporting rearing habitat, Big Boulder Creek, was restored to its historic mid-valley channel along a 1 km stretch of stream 800 m upstream of the mouth....
Ecosystem services play a crucial role in sustaining human well-being and economic viability. People benefit substantially from the delivery of ecosystem services, for which substitutes usually are costly or unavailable. Climate change will substantially alter or eliminate certain ecosystem services in the future. To better understand the consequences of climate...

The 20-year US GLOBEC (Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics)
program examined zooplankton populations and their predators in four coastal
marine ecosystems. Program scientists learned that environmental controls on
zooplankton vital rates, especially the timing and magnitude of reproduction, growth,
life-cycle progression, and mortality, determine species population dynamics,
seasonal and spatial distributions,...
