In arid and semi-arid deserts, soils are commonly covered with biological soil crusts. The
study of arid biocrusts and their ecological function has become increasingly common in
the literature over the last several decades. Interestingly, no mention is made of
biological soil crusts in forested ecosystems, raising the question as...
Periods of precipitation with certain combinations of characteristics
(e.g„ high intensity rainfall on saturated soil) can lead to appreciable
soil loss in western Oregon. In order to assign realistic probabilities to
the occurrence of these periods for use in predicting long-term erosion rates,
a soil erosion-specific definition of a precipitation...
Periods of precipitation with certain combinations of characteristics
(e.g., high intensity rainfall on saturated soil) can lead to appreciable
soil loss in the Pacific Northwest. In order to assign realistic probabilities
to the occurrence of these periods for use in predicting long-term
erosion rates, a soil erosion-specific definition of a...
The occurrence of frozen soil has a major effect on runoff and soil loss in western Oregon. Hence, information regarding the probabilities of occurrence of periods during which the soil may be frozen is necessary in order to adequately forecast long-term erosion rates for this region. In order to assign...

When precipitation falls on frozen soil, serious soil loss can
occur. In order to assign realistic probabilities to the occurrence of
this condition for use in predicting erosion rates over long time
periods, a technique for combining characteristics of precipitation and
air temperature records is applied to hourly wet season...
When precipitation falls on frozen soil, serious soil loss can
occur. In order to assign realistic probabilities to the occurrence of
this condition for use in predicting erosion rates over long time
periods, a technique for combining characteristics of precipitation and
air temperature records is applied to more than 31...
Vegetation patterns and species distributions are strongly linked to soil moisture regimes, and populations within a species from contrasting climatic regimes could exhibit differences in the degree to which certain functional traits related to establishment are expressed. Tree seedling survival is crucial for forest regeneration, and thus may be a...
