  • Turbulence and biophysical fluxes in the near surface ocean

    Creator:
    Hoecker-Martínez, Martín
    Abstract:
    Vertical transports of plankton, momentum, heat, and turbulence are modeled. A novel integration of high resolution turbulence and biophysical modeling is used to show the influence of a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability on the vertical migration of simple gyrotactic organisms. A viscous limit on mixing driven by shear turbulence is proposed. Large...

  • Individual and population responses to abiotic stresses in Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.)

    Creator:
    Martinez-Ghersa, Maria Alejandra
    Abstract:
    Plant form is a compromise between resource gathering, reproduction and the tolerance to physical demands of the abiotic and biotic environment. In an agricultural field in addition to the natural factors causing stress, humans also introduce physical and mechanical stresses, and chemical pesticides into the environment. Many of these factors...
