Can elevated CO₂ and ozone shift the genetic composition of aspen (Populus tremuloides) stands? New Phytologist

The world's forests are currently exposed to increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and ozone (O₃). Both pollutants can potentially exert a selective effect on plant populations. This, in turn, may lead to changes in ecosystem properties, such as carbon sequestration. Here, we report how elevated CO

Scaling Aspen-FACE experimental results to century and landscape scales

The Aspen-FACE experiment generated 11 years of empirical data on the effect of CO₂ enrichment and elevated ozone on the growth of field-grown trees (maple, birch and six aspen clones) in northern Wisconsin, but it is not known how these short-term plot-level responses might play out at the landscape scale over multiple decades where competition...

Soil chemical and physical properties that differentiate urban land-use and cover types

We investigated the effects of land use and cover and surface geology on soil properties in Baltimore, MD, with the objectives to: (i) measure the physical and chemical properties of surface soils (0?10 cm) by land use and cover; and (ii) ascertain whether land use and cover explain differences in these properties relative to surface geology. Mean and median values of...

Coldwater fish in wadeable streams [Chapter 8]

Small, wadeable streams comprise the majority of habitats available to fishes in fluvial networks. Wadeable streams are generally less than 1 m deep, and fish can be sampled without the use of water craft. Cold waters are defined as having mean 7-d summer maximum water temperatures of less than 20°C and providing habitat for coldwater fishes.

Wild salmon response to natural disturbance processes

Dynamic landscapes are shaped by a variety of natural processes and disturbances operating across multiple temporal and spatial scales. Persistence of species in these dynamic environments is also a matter of scale: how do species dispersal and reproductive rates merge with the scales of disturbance?

Evaluation of potential effects of federal land management alternatives on trends of salmonids and their habitats in the interior Columbia River basin.

Aquatic species throughout the interior Columbia River basin are at risk. Evaluation of the potential effects of federal land management on aquatic ecosystems across this region is an important but challenging task. Issues include the size and complexity of the systems, uncertainty in important processes and existing states, flexibility and consistency in the...

Germination of CO₂-enriched Pinus taeda L. seeds and subsequent seedling growth responses to CO₂ enrichment

Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, [CO₂], has profound effects on growth and development of trees. Adoubling of [C0₂] generally stimulates photosynthesis (Murray 1995; Saxe, Ellsworth & Heath 1998) and can lead to a substantial increase in tree growth (Poorter 1993). For example, doubling [C0

Protocol for determining bull trout presence

The Western Division of the American Fisheries Society was requested to develop protocols for determining presence/absence and potential habitat suitability for bull trout. The general approach adopted is similar to the process for the marbled murrelet, whereby interim guidelines are initially used, and the protocols are subsequently refined as data are collected....

Chemical, physical and biological characteristics of urban soils. Chapter 7

Urban soils provide an array of ecosystem services to inhabitants of cities and towns. Urbanization affects soils and their capacity to provide ecosystem services directly through disturbance and management (e.g., irrigation) and indirectly through changes in the environment (e.g., heat island effect and pollution). Both direct and indirect effects contribute to form a...

Distribution, status, and likely future trends of bull trout within the interior Columbia River and Klamath River basins

We summarized existing knowledge regarding the distribution and status of bull trout Salvelinus confluentus across 4,462 subwatersheds of the interior Columbia River basin in Oregon, Washington. Idaho, Montana, and Nevada and of the Klamath River basin in Oregon, a region that represents about 20% of the species' global range. We used classification trees and the...

Toward an integrated classification of ecosystems: Defining opportunities for managing fish and forest health

Many of the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest United States have been simplified and degraded in part through past land-management activities. Recent listings of fishes under the Endangered Species Act and major new initiatives for the restoration of forest health have precipitated contentious debate among managers and conservation interests...

Quantifying fish habitat associated with stream simulation design culverts in northern Wisconsin

This study investigated the effects of culvert replacement design on fish habitat and fish weight by comparing substrate diversity and weight at three stream simulation (SS)-design and three bankfull and backwater (BB)-design sites on the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Wisconsin. Stream channel cross-sections, Wolman substrate particle counts, and single-pass...

Accountability across resources [Salmon and Wilderness: Sharing the responsibility, sharing the benefits]

On a cool August morning, Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) fulfill an ancient ritual in the wilderness. Despite the rigors of an 850-mile journey, the female excavates a redd (nest) by moving stream gravels with her tail while males spar for a place beside her. In an ultimate act of nurturing, these salmon spawn and die, their bodies providing essential...

Do rising temperatures always increase forest productivity? Interacting effects of temperature, precipitation, cloudiness and soil texture on tree species growth and competition

Forest landscape models (FLM) are increasingly used to project the effects of climate change on forested landscapes, yet most use phenomenological approaches with untested assumptions about future forest dynamics. We used a FLM that relies on first principles to mechanistically simulate growth (LANDIS-II with PnET-Succession) to systematically explore how landscapes...

Wild Salmon and the Shifting Baseline Syndrome: Application of archival and contemporary redd counts to estimate historical Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) production potential in the Central Idaho wilderness

The ?shifting baseline syndrome? (SBS) is the paradigm whereby recent species abundances and environmental conditions are accepted as reflecting historical conditions. This leads to false impressions of the past, inaccurate baselines, and unrealistic recovery goals. Idaho biologists have counted Chinook salmon redds for >60 consecutive years, generating an...

Development of equations for predicting Puerto Rican subtropical dry forest biomass and volume.

Carbon accounting, forest health monitoring and sustainable management of the subtropical dry forests of Puerto Rico and other Caribbean Islands require an accurate assessment of forest aboveground biomass (AGB) and stem volume. One means of improving assessment accuracy is the development of predictive equations derived from locally collected data. Forest inventory...

Fine-scale natal homing and localized movement as shaped by sex and spawning habitat in Chinook salmon: Insights from spatial autocorrelation analysis of individual genotypes

Natal homing is a hallmark of the life history of salmonid fishes, but the spatial scale of homing within local, naturally reproducing salmon populations is still poorly understood. Accurate homing (paired with restricted movement) should lead to the existence of finescale genetic structuring due to the spatial clustering of related individuals on spawning grounds....
