A proposed state-and-transition model (STM) for the Deep Sand Savannah ecological site in central New Mexico was developed using historical data and expert knowledge. This STM was tested utilizing data from short and long term one-seed juniper (Juniperus monosperma (Engelm.) Sarg.) control experiments initiated in 1981 and 1985. Utilizing data...

The inaccessibility of open ocean habitat and the cryptic nature of small
animals are fundamental problems when assessing the distribution of
oceanic-stage sea turtles and other marine animals sharing similar life-history
traits. Most methods that estimate patterns of abundance cannot be
applied in situations that are extremely data limited. Here,...

Predicting the distribution of oceanic-stage
The inaccessibility of open ocean habitat and the cryptic nature of small animals are fundamental problems when assessing the distribution of oceanic-stage sea turtles and other marine animals sharing similar life-history traits. Most methods that estimate patterns of abundance cannot be applied in situations that are extremely data limited. Here,...
Although differences between selective pressures in hatcheries
and streams have been theorized to cause genetic divergence between
hatchery and wild salmonids, evidence of this is lacking. This study
was initiated to document the presence or absence of genetic change
in hatchery and wild stocks by characterizing genetic traits in fish...

As climate warms, changes in the carbon (C) balance of arctic tundra will play an important role in the global C balance. The C balance of tundra is tightly coupled to the nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycles because soil organic matter is the principal source of plant-available nutrients...

The connection between the fruit-set disorder Inflorescence Necrosis (IN) and high ammonium (NI14+) in affected tissues has led to an investigation of NH4+ assimilation enzymes (principally glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate synthase) in grape tissues. Previous work in this department has suggested that toxic levels of NH4+ build up in...
