Long-term on-site and off-site effects of logging and erosion in the Redwood Creek basin, northern California Long-term on-site and off-site effects of logging and erosion in the Redwood Creek basin, northern California
For nearly 15 years, the Redwood Creek Watershed in north coastal California has been the focus of both U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and National Park Service (NPS) studies designed to document and quantify the nature of erosion, sedimentation and sediment transport processes active in the basin. While none of these studies were specifically designed to assess possible cumulative...

Physio-chemical processes affecting copper, tin and zinc toxicity to algae: A review Physio-chemical processes affecting copper, tin and zinc toxicity to algae: A review
This chapter focuses on the physic-chemical processes affecting copper, zinc, and tin toxicity to algae. Both Cu and Zn are essential algal micronutrients, cofactors in numerous biochemical processes. The availability of a nutrient or toxic substance can be significantly affected by precipitation. Methods for modeling the effects of adsorption–desorption reactions have been previously...

An incidence of twinning in the sea otter (Enhydra lutris) An incidence of twinning in the sea otter (Enhydra lutris)
On 3 October 1984 at 0928 h (PST) near Pt. San Simeon, California (35°39’N, 121°11’W), we observed a female sea otter (Enhydra lutris) resting in a kelp bed (Macrocystis pyrifera) with a small pup on her chest; approximately 2 m away another small pup floated unattended in the kelp. The only other otters we saw in the area was a mated pair (adult male tending an adult female) resting...
