We measured surface soil (0–15 cm) C and N pools and processes inside and outside an area that had been trenched 13 years earlier in an old-growth conifer forest (>450 years) to assess the long-term impacts of reduced root inputs on C and N turnover. Trenching, combined with frequent clipping...
Metabolic disorders affect much of the population, and it is widely believed that they have a genetic basis as well as being influenced by dietary factors. Recent studies have revealed an important role for the neil1 gene in the prevention of metabolic diseases. NEIL1 is a DNA Glycosylase that catalyzes...

We present a systems modeling approach to the development of a place-based ecohydrological model. The conceptual model is calibrated to a variety of existing observations, taken in watershed 10 (WS10) at the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (HJA) in Oregon, USA, a long term ecological research (LTER) site with a long...
The development of geothermal resources has been delayed in the United States for several reasons: the ready availability of low-cost fossil fuels, the general remoteness from load centers of geothermal areas, and more recently the illusion that nuclear power plants would provide all our needed power at a low cost...
Fruit tree fertilization is a standard grower practice intended to supplement soil-supplied nutrients. Both soil-applied fertilizers and nutrients stored within the tree are important. Tree reserves are the major source of nutrients for developing tissues before petal fall. Current-season growth and
yield are influenced by nutritional status, which in turn...
