(2012-04-22)Military training lands are among the most degraded rangelands in the United States. Tracked vehicle training represents the largest source of soil disturbance on these rangelands (Fang et al. 2002). Training activities ...
-
(2011-05-05)The complex cycle of nutrients and organic matter in the soil is one of the planet‟s vital processes for maintaining life. Microscopic organisms, or soil microbes, fill a crucial role in this process, as they decompose ...
-
(2019-04-29)Tropical rainforests are among the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world. However, plant species occurrences are highly dependent on localized topography, elevation, and climate. Convergent evolution has been studied ...
-
(2011-08-08)The amount of carbon flux from soils on a global scale is estimated at over 75 x 1015 g C yr-1. Climate change is projected to affect regional environmental conditions, raising temperatures and altering precipitation ...
-
(2013-12-03)Bryophytes, which are usually early-responders to disturbance, have generally not been included in post-fire vascular plant research and may be an important element in the fire-recovery process. This study expands the ...
-
(2011-04-29)Hydric soils are a key component to the development of wetland ecosystems. It is well documented that dams change the hydrology and sediment deposition of regulated rivers which can alter hydric soil properties on the ...
-
Temporal and spatial analysis of marine species distributions within the Gulf of Mexico is important in recognizing trends as to how their population dynamics change. Recognizing these trends can help fisheries and bay ...
