Only the first days of each month were uploaded to Zenodo due to the data storage limitation, and the full dataset is available at http://glass.umd.edu/albedo_clim/. Surface albedo plays a critical role in climate, hydrological, and biogeochemical modeling and weather forecasting. Therefore, precise

Analyses of evolvability and population divergence

The fate of natural populations is mediated by complex interactions among vital rates, which can vary within and among years. While the effects of random, among-year variation in vital rates have been studied extensively, relatively little is known about how periodic, non-random variation in vital r

These R scripts contain the code to replicate the analyses performed in Demographic consequences of changing environmental periodicity , Ecology. Vital-rate estimation We used the demographic data of each species to model periodic differences in vital rates for each life-cycle stage using generalize

Are all things beautiful? Are all types equally beautiful when we abstract from our practical prejudices? If the reader gives his assent … we must declare that no object is essentially ugly. —Georg...

AbstractStratigraphic analyses and radiocarbon geochronology of alluvial deposits exposed along the Roaring River, Colorado, lead to three principal conclusions: (1) the opinion that stream channels in the higher parts of the Front Range are relics of the Pleistocene and nonalluvial under the presen

Rock varnish is a darkly pigmented coating rich in manganese oxides. Though microbes inhabit varnish deposits, it is unclear whether they are involved in varnish formation. The fungal communities of rock varnish and adjacent rock sites with no visible varnish deposits were examined. Microcolonial fu

AbstractGunnison sage‐grouse (Centrocercus minimus) is a species of special concern and is currently considered a candidate species under Endangered Species Act. Careful management is therefore required to ensure that suitable habitat is maintained, particularly because much of the species' current

Non-native species have been widely transported, becoming components of ecosystems worldwide. In some cases this can change thestructure and function of an ecosystem. Crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum, Agropyron spp.) was introduced into the Western U.S. inthe late 18th and early 19th centurie

A pilot biochemical reactor (BCR) with a design flowrate of 3.8 l/m (1 gpm) has been operating at the Standard Mine Superfund Site for over four years, since August, 2007. The pilot system is entirely passive, using solar energy to power sampling equipment and pumping requirements. BCR treatment rel

The Niobrara Formation of the Denver Basin is an unconventional oil and gas drilling target composed of alternating chalk and marl units.These units act as the source, seal and trap for hydrocarbons generated in the organic rich marl beds of the Niobrara.Organic geochemical data, such as oil-to-sour

Tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) nestlings, eggs, and diet and sediment grab samples were used to quantify risks of exposure to15 trace elements, 31 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners, 15 polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners and 13 organochlorine pesticides in the Calumet area of n
