Fire is an important disturbance mechanism in big sagebrush (Artemisia
tridentata) communities, yet little is known about wildlife population dynamics during
post-fire habitat succession. I estimated the abundance of small mammals and birds in
relation to fire history in mountain big sagebrush (A.t. spp. vaseyana) communities on the
Sheldon National...
Sorbitol-induced osmotic stress (SIOS) to the root was found to be effective in
reducing transpirational water loss in plants during water stress. Mechanisms of SIOS in
stomatal control were investigated in containerized apples (Malus domestica Borkh.
'Gala'/M26) when leaf water potential (Ψw), osmotic potential (Ψs), turgor potential (Ψp),
stomatal conductance...
