The nutrient elements needed for the optimum
growth and yield of pear trees is vitally important to the
pear growers. The knowledge of the amounts and kinds of
fertilizer to apply to obtain this growth could increase
the production and cut the costs for these growers.
Field experiments have been...
The chlamydospore is a survival spore produced by 35 of the 75 described species of Phytophthora. Phytophthora ramorum Werres, de Cock & Man in't Veld, the causal agent of Sudden Oak Death (SOD), produces abundant chlamydospores in artificial culture and plant tissue. The chlamydospore is likely the most important survival...
The current work sought to develop predictive
models between time-weighted average polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations in the freely dissolved
phase and those present in resident aquatic organisms. We
deployed semipermeable membrane passive sampling devices
(SPMDs) and collected resident crayfish (Pacifastacus
leniusculus) at nine locations within and outside of the...

Contamination of resident aquatic organisms is a major concern for environmental risk assessors. However, collecting organisms to estimate risk is often prohibitively time and resource-intensive. Passive sampling accurately estimates resident organism contamination, and it saves time and resources. This study used low density polyethylene (LDPE) passive water samplers to predict...
