Forest ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest of the USA are changing as a result of climate change. Specifically, rise of global temperatures, decline of winter precipitation, earlier loss of snowpack, and increased summer drought are altering the range of Pinus contorta. Simultaneously, flux in environmental conditions within the historic P....

We assessed the effects of porosity and hydrophobicity on water uptake by biochars.
Biochars were produced from two feedstocks (hazelnut shells and Douglas fir chips) at
three production temperatures (370°C, 500°C, and 620°C). To distinguish the effects of
porosity from the effects of hydrophobicity, we compared uptake of water to...

New sources of genetic diversity must be incorporated into plant breeding programs if they are to continue increasing grain
yield and quality, and tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Germplasm collections provide a source of genetic and
phenotypic diversity, but characterization of these resources is required to increase their utility...

“Substituent effects” is an important and useful concept in organic chemistry. Although there are many approaches to parametrizing the electronic and steric effects of substituents, the physical basis for the parameters is often unclear. The purpose of the present work is to explore the properties of chemical shifts in carbon...

Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of late blight disease, has been reported in North America since the mid-nineteenth century. In the United States the lack of or very limited sexual reproduction has resulted in largely clonal populations of P. infestans. In 2010 and 2011, but not in 2012 or 2013,...

Because iso- and anisohydric species differ in stomatal regulation
of the rate and magnitude of fluctuations in shoot
water potential, they may be expected to show differences in
the plasticity of their shoot water relations components, but
explicit comparisons of this nature have rarely been made.
We subjected excised shoots...

First-year tree seedlings represent a particularly vulnerable life stage and successful seedling establishment is crucial for forest
regeneration. We investigated the extent to which Pinus ponderosa P. & C. Lawson populations from different climate zones
exhibit differential expression of functional traits that may facilitate their establishment. Seeds from two populations...

Understanding genetic differentiation and speciation processes in marine species with high
dispersal capabilities is challenging. The Chilean dolphin, Cephalorhynchus eutropia, is the
only endemic cetacean of Chile and is found in two different coastal habitats: a northern
habitat with exposed coastlines, bays and estuaries from Valparaíso (33°02' S) to Chiloé...
