Riparian restoration using physical manipulation and natural seedfall Riparian restoration using physical manipulation and natural seedfall

In many arid landscapes, riparian sites are the only places wet enough to support trees. The vertical structure of trees and shrubs is critical to many riparian habitat and aesthetic values (Brinson et al. 1981). Thus, woody vegetation is often an important objective and success measure for riparian restoration. Effective restoration planning depends on some underlying model of how the...

Additional records of bats from the middle Rio Grande Valley, New Mexico Additional records of bats from the middle Rio Grande Valley, New Mexico

The resident and migratory bat fauna of the middle Rio Grande Valley in central New Mexico is inadequately known. Many of the specimen records from this valley are from Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, ca. 20 km S of Socorro, Socorro Co. Findley et al. (1975) reported Myotis lucifugus, M. yumanensis, Lasiurus cinereus, and Tadarida brasiliensis from the refuge to which Reith...

Spring-summer movements of bonytail in a Colorado River reservoir, Lake Mohave, Arizona and Nevada Spring-summer movements of bonytail in a Colorado River reservoir, Lake Mohave, Arizona and Nevada

The bonytail Gila elegans is a large-river minnow (Cyprinid) endemic to the Colorado River system of western North America. The species is federally listed as endangered, its biology poorly understood, and relatively little is known of its movements. Two short-term telemetry studies were conducted during 1996 and 1997 to assess spring-summer temporal and spatial movement patterns in Lake...

Including long-term biological index performance in a multi-criteria Decision Support System Including long-term biological index performance in a multi-criteria Decision Support System

A Decision Support System (DSS) was developed for the reservoirs operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation that incorporates biological resources in a palette of decision variables. A scoring technique was developed for the DSS to help to evaluate the long-term effects of proposed reservoir system operations on those variables. The biological component of the DSS was developed to help...

Desire to bargain and negotiation success: lessons about the need to negotiate from six hydropower disputes Desire to bargain and negotiation success: lessons about the need to negotiate from six hydropower disputes

We investigated the notion that successful negotiations require that all parties to the dispute must have a desire to bargain. This desire is most likely to be present when the dispute exhibits ripeness and each party believes a bargained solution is the most cost-effective way to resolve differences. Structured interviews of participants in six Federal Energy Regulatory Commission...

Effects of landcover, water redistribution, and temperature on ecosystem processes in the South Plate Basin Effects of landcover, water redistribution, and temperature on ecosystem processes in the South Plate Basin

Over one-third of the land area in the South Platte Basin of Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming, has been converted to croplands. Irrigated cropland now comprises 8% of the basin, while dry croplands make up 31%. We used the RHESSys model to compare the changes in plant productivity and vegetation-related hydrological processes that occurred as a result of either land cover alteration or...
