Wildfires and geochemical change in a subalpine forest over the past six millennia

Leys, Bérangère; Higuera, Philip E; McLauchlan, Kendra K.; Dunnette, Paul V (2016-11-24)

The frequency of large wildfires in western North America has been increasing in recent decades, yet the geochemical impacts of these events are poorly understood. The multidecadal timescales of both disturbance-regime ...
The Geography of The Border Legion

Blake, Kevin S. (2016-11-01)

The Border Legion has a curious geography. Dr. Joe Wheeler states this book features "very little description of the topography or nature phenomena" (1975, p. 163), and he is right on target with this assessment. He goes ...
Recent advances quantifying the large wood dynamics in river basins: New methods and remaining challenges

Ruiz-Villanueva, V.; Piégay, H.; Gurnell, A. A.; Marston, Richard A.; Stoffel, M. (2016-07-15)

Large wood is an important physical component of woodland rivers and significantly influences river morphology. It is also a key component of stream ecosystems. However, large wood is also a source of risk for human ...
High dissimilarity within a multiyear annual record of pollen assemblages from a North American tallgrass prairie

Commerford, Julie L.; McLauchlan, Kendra K.; Minckley, T. A. (2016-06-29)

Grassland vegetation varies in composition across North America and has been historically influenced by multiple biotic and abiotic drivers, including fire, herbivory, and topography. Yet, the amount of temporal and spatial ...
Determination of climatologically suitable places in the Midwest for feedlot cattle production by using the comprehensive climate index model

Koknaroglu, H.; Harrington Jr, John; Mader, T. L. (2016-04-01)

The objective of this study was to determine climatologically suitable places to raise feedlot cattle in the Midwest. Hourly average temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed values for 22 locations (Des Moines, Mason ...
Cultural energy analyses of climatologically suitable places in Turkey for feedlot cattle production determined by using the comprehensive climate index model

Koknaroglu, H.; Harrington Jr, John; Mader, T. L. (2016-04-01)

The objective of this study was to conduct cultural energy analyses on feedlot cattle production in Turkey. The comprehensive climate index (CCI) model was used to predict DMI, ADG, and feed efficiency of feedlot cattle ...
