Coastal wetland plants are adapted to varying degrees of inundation. However, functional relationships between inundation and productivity are poorly characterized for most species. Determining species-specific tolerances to inundation is necessary to evaluate sea-level rise (SLR) effects on future marsh plant community composition, quantify organic matter inputs to marsh accretion, and...

The last deglaciation of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) from ∼21,000 to 13,000 yr ago is well-constrained by several hundred ¹⁰Be and ¹⁴C ages. The subsequent retreat history, however, is established primarily from minimum-limiting ¹⁴C ages and incomplete Baltic-Sea varve records, leaving a substantial fraction of final SIS retreat history...

Analytical methods capable of trace measurement of semi-volatile organic
compounds (SOCs) are necessary to assess the exposure of tadpoles to contaminants as a
result of long-range and regional atmospheric transport and deposition. The following
study compares the results of two analytical methods, one using pressurized liquid
extraction (PLE) and the...

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,...

The 1994 Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) shifted federal lands management from a focus on timber production to ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation. The plan established a network of conservation reserves and an ecosystem management strategy on ~10 million hectares from northern California to Washington State, USA, within the range of...
Variable ocean conditions can greatly impact
prey assemblages and predator foraging in marine ecosystems.
Our goal was to better understand how a change in
ocean conditions influenced dietary niche overlap among
a suite of midtrophic-level predators. We examined the
diets of three fishes and one seabird off central Oregon
during...
