We used a combination of seabird data (both fishery-dependent and fishery-independent) and fishing-effort data to evaluate the relative fisheries risk of five west coast groundfish fisheries and oneshrimp fishery to black-footed (Phoebastria nigripes), short-tailed (P. albatrus) and Laysan albatrosses(P. immutabilis). To assess risk, an overlap index was derived as the...
Atlantic salmon aquaculture is a growing industry in the Bay of Fundy on Canada’s Atlantic coast. The vast majority of aquaculture sites are concentrated in a relatively small coastal region of the province of New Brunswick (NB) where the industry is viewed as a major component of regional economic development....
The survival, growth, foliar nutrient status, ectomycorrhiza (EM) colonization,
and associative N-fixation of ponderosa pine seedlings (Pinus ponderosa var. ponderosa
Doug!. ex Laws.) were studied under different gap sizes in forest canopy during the first growing season. Seedling performance variables were assessed relative to gap size of the forest canopy...
We measured fracture resistance curves (or R curves) for laminated veneer lumber (LVL) made with Douglas fir veneer and polyvinyl acetate resin and for solid wood Douglas fir. The LVL and solid wood R curves were the same for initiation of fracture, but the LVL toughness rose much higher than...
Variation in fluvial suspended sediment–discharge behavior is generally thought to be the product of changes in
processes governing the delivery of sediment and water to the channel. The objective of this study was to infer
sediment supply dynamics from the response of suspended sediment behavior to antecedent hydrologic factors.
The...
