Local variability but landscape stability in coral reef communities following repeated hurricane impacts Local variability but landscape stability in coral reef communities following repeated hurricane impacts
Coral reef community structure has remained remarkably stable over a 10 yr period within a small protected marine area despite repeated hurricane impacts. Local community dynamics have been highly variable, however. Sites that were destroyed by disease in the 1970s are showing little or no recovery, while sites less than a kilometre away that were devastated by Hurricane Hugo in 1989 are

Seed germination of two Everglades species, Cladium jamaicense and Typha domingensis Seed germination of two Everglades species, Cladium jamaicense and Typha domingensis
The germination requirements of Cladium jamaicense Crantz and Typha domingensis Pers. were studied under controlled conditions in the laboratory. Treatments included six temperature regimes, (constant temperatures of 15 20, 25, 30°C, and two fluctuating day : night temperature regimes of 25 : 10°C and 30 : 20°C), two light levels (14 : 10 h light : dark photoperiod and 24 h dark...

Vertical accretion versus elevational adjustment in UK saltmarshes: An evaluation of alternative methodologies Vertical accretion versus elevational adjustment in UK saltmarshes: An evaluation of alternative methodologies
Simultaneous measurements of vertical accretion from marker horizons and marsh-elevation change from sedimentation-erosion tables (SET) were made in selected marshes along the East Anglian coast of the UK in order to address the following objectives: to ascertain the validity of treating accretion measurements obtained within tidally dominated, minerogenic saltmarshes as equivalent to...

Northeastern Gulf of Mexico Coastal and Marine Ecosystem Program: Coastal Characterization: an overview and update Northeastern Gulf of Mexico Coastal and Marine Ecosystem Program: Coastal Characterization: an overview and update
The U.S. Geological Surveys Biological Resources Division (BRD) mission is to provide leadership in gathering, analyzing, and disseminating biological information as support for sound management of the Nation's natural resources. Since becoming operational in October of 1996 through the transfer of programs from various bureaus within the Department of the Interior, the BRD, in...

Bird community composition Bird community composition
Neotropical migrants are birds that breed in North America and winter primarily in Central and South America. Long-term population studies of birds in the Eastern United States indicated declines of some forest-dwelling birds, many of which winter in the Neotropics (Peterjohn and others 1995). These declines were attributed to loss of wintering and breeding habitat due to deforestation...

Vegetation and soils Vegetation and soils
haracterization of bottomland hardwood vegetation in relatively undisturbed forests can provide critical information for developing effective wetland creation and restoration techniques and for assessing the impacts of management and development. Classification is a useful technique in characterizing vegetation because it summarizes complex data sets, assists in hypothesis generation...
