Development and application of WetQual-C, a mechanistic model for simulating carbon dynamics, GHG gas emissions and carbon export from wetlands
(2013-12-17)
Wetlands possess qualities that distinguish them as the most important influencer of global carbon (C) budgets. They have the highest carbon density among all terrestrial ecosystems and are known as the greatest individual ...
Mapping Loblolly Pine Decline Hazard and Risk across the Southeastern United States
(2012-07-25)
Loblolly Pine Decline was first noted in 1959 in the Oakmulgee and Tuscaloosa Ranger Districts in the Talladega National Forest, located in the southeastern United States. This slow mortality is not new to the area, but ...
Carbonyl inhibition and detoxification in microbial fermentation of biomass hydrolysates
(2014-04-29)
Bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels has great potential to supplement petroleum-derived fuels. One of the major barriers to bioconversion is the release of considerable amount of carbonyl degradation ...
A satellite derived map of Ecological Systems in the East Gulf Coastal Plain, USA
(2008-09-09)
Land cover mapping via remote sensing is an important tool for conservation and land management. A critical component to land cover mapping is defining the classification. A classification scheme must be sufficiently ...
The Impacts of Human Spatial Concentration, Economic Freedom, and Corruption on Species Imperilment
(2008-09-09)
Advocates of certain public policies believe that alternative spatial distributions of a fixed-size human population have different environmental consequences. Specifically, a more concentrated human population has a ...
Fluctuating Asymmetry of White-Tailed Deer Antlers
(2008-09-09)
Fluctuating asymmetry has been proposed as an indirect indicator of individual quality. Sexually selected traits, such as deer antlers, are expected to exhibit patterns of decreasing level of fluctuating asymmetry with ...
Effects of sedimentation on productivity, nutrient cycling, and community composition in riparian forests associated with ephemeral streams at Ft. Benning, GA, USA
(2008-09-09)
The societal value of riparian forests in improving water quality by trapping sediments and pollutants is well understood. However, it is not clear how sedimentation impacts the overall integrity of riparian systems. In ...
Terrestrial Carbon Dynamics of Southern United States in Response to Changes in Climate, Atmosphere, and Land-Use/Land Cover from 1895 to 2005
(2008-09-09)
Historical human activities and environmental changes have strongly modified the global carbon cycle, which can lead to both an energy shortage and environmental problems such as global warming due to elevated atmospheric ...
Urban Sprawl and Atmospheric Pollution Effects on Forests in the Georgia Piedmont
(2008-09-09)
Current and projected population pressures on natural lands in the South have resulted in extensive amounts of rural forests being converted to human-modified urban uses. Such substantial loss of forest land and wildlife ...
Impact Assessment of a Trap-Neuter-Return Program on Selected Features of Auburn, Alabama Feral Cat Colonies
(2008-09-09)
Feral cats (Felis catus) are defined here as offspring of domestic cats raised without human socialization or cats that were previously owned that have reverted to a wild state not trusting humans. A feral cat colony ...
