Increased temperatures and changes in precipitation will result in fundamental changes in the
seasonal distribution of streamflow in the Pacific Northwest and will have serious implications for water
resources management. To better understand local impacts of regional climate change, we conducted
model experiments to determine hydrologic sensitivities of annual, seasonal,...

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has been cultivated for human consumption for thousands of years. However, most North Americans do not consume barley on a regular basis. In the last decade, there has been a renewed interest in barley production for human consumption. A number of quality traits estimate nutritional value...
Intensive cultivation of native grassland for dryland agriculture continuously depleted soil organic carbon (SOC) and nutrients. In 2010, we evaluated the influence of 80 yr of crop residue and nutrient management practices on SOC and N in 0- to 60-cm soil depth profiles in conventionally tilled winter wheat (Triticum aestivum...

Farmers rely almost exclusively on the imported European honeybee (Apis mellifera L.)
for fruit and vegetable crop pollination services. The recent decline in honeybee health
has underscored the danger of relying on a single species to provide vital services.
Increasing pollinator biodiversity with native bees may provide biological insurance
against...

To examine whether stream nitrogen concentrations in forested reference catchments have
changed over time and if patterns were consistent across the USA, we synthesized up to 44 yr
of data collected from 22 catchments at seven USDA Forest Service Experimental Forests.
Trends in stream nitrogen presented high spatial variability both...

Siletzia is a basaltic Paleocene and Eocene
large igneous province in coastal Oregon,
Washington, and southern Vancouver Island
that was accreted to North America in the
early Eocene. New U-Pb magmatic, detrital
zircon, and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages constrained by
detailed field mapping, global nannoplankton
