Model–data comparisons of plant physiological processes provide an understanding of mechanisms underlying vegetation responses to climate. We simulated the physiology of a pi~non pine–juniper woodland (Pinus edulis–Juniperus monosperma) that experienced mortality during a 5 yr precipitation-reduction experiment, allowing a framework with which to examine our knowledge of drought-induced tree mortality....
A ground-breaking study of the relations between the fur traders of Fort Nez Perce's and the Indians of the region, primarily Cayuse, Wallawalla, Umatilla, and Nez Perce. Existing literature on this region has focused on the white explorers, the fur traders, and the settlers; Chiefs and Chief Traders offers a...
Non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) in plant tissue are frequently quantified to make inferences about plant responses to environmental conditions. Laboratories publishing estimates of NSC of woody plants use many different methods to evaluate NSC. We asked whether NSC estimates in the recent literature could be quantitatively compared among studies. We also...
1. Seeding native plants is a key management practice to counter land degradation across
the globe, yet the majority of seeding efforts fail, limiting our ability to accelerate ecosystem
recovery.
2. Recruitment requires transitions through several seed and seedling stages, some of which
may have overriding influences on restoration outcomes....

This review presents a framework for evaluating how cells, tissues, organs, and whole plants perform both hydraulic and mechanical functions. The morphological alterations that affect dual functionality are varied: individual cells can have altered morphology; tissues can have altered partitioning to functions or altered cell alignment; and organs and whole...
The three-dimensional structure and the origin of mesoscale anticyclonic
intrathermocline eddies (ITEs) in the coastal transition zone (CTZ) off central Chile (31–41°S) were analyzed through the combination of data from oceanographic cruises and
satellite altimetry, and the application of an eddy-resolving primitive equation ocean model
coupled with a numerical experiment...

In their search for viable economic development opportunities,
many American Indian tribes have focused their
attention toward tourism development on their reservation
lands. In many cases, the greatest potential for economic
development and attracting income to the reservations lies
in tourist trade. Although tourism may not be a tribe's
primary...
