In marine ecosystems, rising atmospheric CO2 and climate change are associated with concurrent shifts in temperature, circulation, stratification, nutrient input, oxygen content, and ocean acidification, with potentially wideranging biological effects. Population-level shifts are occurring because of physiological intolerance to new environments, altered dispersal patterns, and changes in species interactions. Together...
Disease predictive systems are intended to be management aids. With a few exceptions, these systems typically do not have direct sustained use by growers. Rather, their impact is mostly pedagogic and indirect, improving recommendations from farm advisers and shaping management concepts. The degree to which a system is consulted depends...

This dataset was created for the purpose of collecting and cataloguing sources that mentioned aspects of cultural diversity or workforce diversity within natural resource professions. The exploratory questions that prompted the collection of sources in this dataset were:
- Is diversity discussed in scholarly sources within natural resources?
- If...
For the type of museums discussed in this paper,
the nonprofit organization type, the board of
directors is the governing body. The board approves
the policies that guide the staff in administering the
museum. The relationship between the board and the
staff should be one of respect and cooperation; but...

While still a prime agricultural region, the Tualatin Valley is one of the state's fastest developing areas. The slow accumulation of...
