Managers in southern Nevada are challenge with determining appropriate goals and objectives and developing viable approaches for maintaining and restoring sustainable ecosystems in a time of rapid socio-ecological and environmental change. Sustainable or \"healthy\" ecosystems supply clean air, water and habitat for a diverse array of plants and animals. As described in Chapter 1, sustainable ecosystems retain characteristic processes like hydrological flux and storage, geomorphic processes, biogeochemical cycling and storage, biological activity and productivity, and population regeneration and reproduction over the normal cycle of disturbance events (modified from Chapin and others 1996 and Christensen and others 1996). Ecological restoration of stressed or disturbed ecosystems in an integral part of managing for sustainable ecosystems. The Society of Ecological Restoration International (SERI) defines ecological restoration as the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, or destroyed (SERI 2004).
\nMany of the southern Nevada's ecosystems are being subjected to anthropogenic stressors that span global, regional, and local scales (Chapter 2)., and are crossing ecological thresholds to new alternative states (Chapter 4 and Chapter 5). These alternative states often represent novel communities with disturbance regimes that differ significantly from historic conditions. Past management and restoration goals often focused on returning ecosystems to pre-disturbance conditions (Harris and others 2006). This approach assumes stable or equilibrium conditions and ignores changes in ecosystems processes due to land uses, increases in CO2 concentrations, and climate change. A more realistic approach is to base management and restoration goals on the current potential of an ecosystem to support a given set of ecological conditions, and on the likelihood of future change due to warming climate (Harris and others 2006). This approach requires understanding ecosystem resilience to anthropogenic disturbance and climate change, the alternative states that exist for ecosystems, and the factors that result in threshold crossing (Bestelmeyer and others 2009; Hobbs and Harris 2001; Stingham and others 2003; Whisemnant 1999). It also requires the ability to predict how climate is likely to influence ecosystems in the future (Harris and others 2006).
\nThis chapter addresses the restoration aspects of Sub-goal 1.3 in the SNAP Science Research Strategy which is to restore and sustain proper function of southern Nevada's watersheds and landscapes (able 1.3; Turner and others 2009). The effects of global, regional and local stresses on southern Nevada ecosystems are presented in Chapter 2. Here, we discuss appropriate objectives and develop guidelines for maintaining and restoring southern Nevada ecosystems. We then discuss the differences in ecological resilience to stress and disturbance and resistance to invasive species in southern Nevada ecosystems and describe restoration and management approaches for the different ecosystem types. We conclude with knowledge gaps and management implications.

Many goose populations in western Europe have increased\ndramatically in recent decades. The Svalbard population of pink‐footed geese (Anser\nbrachyrhynchus) is a good example, increasing from about 10 thousand individuals in the early\n1960’s to roughly 80 thousand today. Although these geese are a highly valued resource, the\ngrowing numbers of geese are causing agricultural conflicts in wintering and staging areas. The\nAfrican‐Eurasian Waterbird Agreement (AEWA; http://www.unep‐aewa.org/) calls for means to\nmanage populations which cause conflicts with certain human economic activities.
\nWe compiled relevant demographic and weather data and specified an annual‐cycle model for pink-footed\ngeese that reconciles the different dates of monitoring activities and the timing of harvest-management\ndecisions. We then developed dynamic models for survival and reproductive\nprocesses and parameterized them using available data. By combining varying hypotheses about\nsurvival and reproduction, we developed a suite of nine models that represent a wide range of\npossibilities concerning the extent to which demographic rates are density dependent or\nindependent, and the extent to which spring temperatures are important. These nine models\nvaried significantly in their predictions of the harvest required to stabilize current population size,\nranging from a low of about 500 to a high of about 17 thousand. For comparison, the harvest in\nNorway and Denmark was about 11 thousand in 2011 and the population increased from 70 to 80\nthousand.
\nWe relied on the passive form of adaptive management in formulating a harvest strategy. In\npassive adaptive management, alternative population models and their associated weights of\nevidence are explicitly considered in the development of an optimal harvest strategy. Unlike active\nadaptive management, however, there is no explicit consideration of how harvest management\nactions could reduce uncertainty as to the most appropriate model of population dynamics. In\noptimizing a harvest strategy, we assumed equal probabilities for all nine models and assumed\nrelatively course control over harvest. We used a management objective that seeks to maximize\nsustainable harvest, but avoids harvest decisions that are expected to result in a subsequent\npopulation size different than the population goal of 60 thousand. Optimal harvest strategies were\ncalculated using stochastic dynamic programming, and Monte Carlo simulations were used to\ninvestigate expected strategy performance.
\nThe optimal passive adaptive‐management strategy is expected to maintain mean population size\nnear 60 thousand, regardless of the most appropriate model. However, mean harvest rates and\nharvests varied substantially depending on the most appropriate model of population dynamics.\nWith an average number of days above freezing in May in Svalbard, optimal harvest rates (i.e., the\nproportion of the population to be harvested in autumn) increase rapidly once there are more than\nabout 50 thousand birds in the population. Generally, optimal harvests were on the order of 10 –\n20 thousand for population sizes > 60 thousand, and 0 – 5 thousand for population sizes < 60\nthousand. For the observations of young of 15.4 thousand and adults of 54.6 thousand in autumn\n2010, and 10 days above freezing in May 2011 (a relatively warm spring compared to the average of about 7), the optimal harvest rate in autumn of 2011 would have been 0.16, or a harvest of about\n14 thousand. Based on the optimal strategy, hunting‐season closures would be required as the\nnumber of adults in the autumn population falls below about 52 thousand, regardless of the\nnumber of young in the population. As the number of adults and young decrease, the number of\nwarm days in May required to keep the hunting season open increases. We also investigated the\nability of the optimal strategy to stabilize the population at around 60 thousand birds, assuming\nvarying values of the maximum harvest rate that could be implemented. Harvest strategies that\ncontained a maximum harvest rate of 0.16 (equivalent to a harvest of about 17 thousand) were\neffective at stabilizing the population at 60 thousand within 4‐5 years, regardless of climate\nscenario. Harvest strategies with a maximum harvest rate of 0.12 (harvest ≈ 13 thousand) were\nalso able to stabilize the population near 60 thousand, although it took more time. Harvest\nstrategies with a maximum harvest rate of 0.08 (harvest ≈ 8 thousand) were unsuccessful at\nstabilizing the population at 60 thousand.
\nContinued monitoring of the pink‐footed goose population on an annual basis is critical to an\ninformed harvest management strategy. At a minimum, the ground census in November should be\ncontinued to determine population size and proportion of young. Continued estimates of harvest\nfrom Norway and Denmark are also necessary to help judge the credibility of the alternative\npopulation models. However, an adaptive management process that relies on periodic updating of\nmodel weights will depend on acquiring either estimates of the realized harvest rate of adults or the\nage composition of the harvest. We also recommend that a census conducted during spring\nmigration be operationalized, and that estimates of survival based on mark‐recapture data be\nupdated. Finally, the International Working Group has expressed a desire to adopt a three‐year\ncycle of decision making related to the regulation of pink‐footed goose harvests. The idea is that\nonce a target harvest level is adopted, it would remain in place for three years, after which time\npopulation status would be assessed and a potentially new management action chosen. We have\ndeveloped a preliminary framework to implement a three‐year cycle using stochastic dynamic\nprogramming, and we hope to have it fully operational later this year . We note, however, that\napplication of this 3‐year framework will still require annual resource monitoring and assessments\nto facilitate learning, and to allow managers the opportunity to respond to any unforeseen change\nin resource conditions.

The average daily flux during 2004–2007 was 71 kg C ha−1 yr−1 (392 Mt C d−1), an amount larger than measured in most northern temperate and boreal rivers. Distinct seasonal variation was observed in the relation between concentration and discharge (C–Q). During June through December (summer/fall), there was a relatively steep positive C–Q relation where concentration increased by a factor of 2–3 over the approximately 20-fold range of observed stream discharge for the Penobscot River near Eddington, Maine. In contrast, during January through May (winter/spring), DOC concentration did not increase with increasing discharge. In addition, we observed a major shift in the C–Q between 2004–2005 and 2006–2007, apparently resulting from unprecedented rainfall, runoff, and soil flushing beginning in late fall 2005. The relative contribution to the total Penobscot River basin DOC flux from each tributary varied dramatically by season, reflecting the role of large regulated reservoirs in certain basins. DOC concentration and flux per unit watershed area were highest in tributaries containing the largest areas in palustrine wetlands. Tributary DOC concentration and flux was positively correlated to percentage wetland area. Climatic or environmental changes that influence the magnitude or timing of river discharge or the abundance of wetlands will likely affect the export of DOC to the near-coastal ocean.","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jhydrol.2012.10.039","usgsCitation":"Huntington, T.G., and Aiken, G.R., 2013, Export of dissolved organic carbon from the Penobscot River basin in north-central Maine: Journal of Hydrology, v. 476, p. 244-256, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2012.10.039.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"244","endPage":"256","ipdsId":"IP-017251","costCenters":[{"id":371,"text":"Maine Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":274983,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":274982,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2012.10.039"}],"country":"United States","state":"Maine","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -70.54764999904074,\n 46.31845656074887\n ],\n [\n -70.54764999904074,\n 44.56645421087305\n ],\n [\n -67.18174929040322,\n 44.56645421087305\n ],\n [\n -67.18174929040322,\n 46.31845656074887\n ],\n [\n -70.54764999904074,\n 46.31845656074887\n ]\n ]\n ],\n \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n }\n }\n ]\n}","volume":"476","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51e519eae4b069f8d27ccaed","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Huntington, Thomas G. 0000-0002-9427-3530 thunting@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9427-3530","contributorId":1884,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Huntington","given":"Thomas","email":"thunting@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":371,"text":"Maine Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":466,"text":"New England Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480436,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Aiken, George R. 0000-0001-8454-0984 graiken@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8454-0984","contributorId":1322,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Aiken","given":"George","email":"graiken@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":191,"text":"Colorado Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480435,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}} ,{"id":70093267,"text":"70093267 - 2013 - Potential effects of climate change on inland glacial lakes and implications for lake-dependent biota in Wisconsin: final report April 2013","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2014-04-11T12:54:52","indexId":"70093267","displayToPublicDate":"2013-01-01T12:49:00","publicationYear":"2013","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":2,"text":"State or Local Government Series"},"title":"Potential effects of climate change on inland glacial lakes and implications for lake-dependent biota in Wisconsin: final report April 2013","docAbstract":"The economic vitality and quality of life of many northern Wisconsin communities is closely \nassociated with the ecological condition of the abundant water resources in the region. Climate change \nmodels predict warmer temperatures, changes to precipitation patterns, and increased evapotranspiration in \nthe Great Lakes region.

Native tropical island stream fish assemblages composed of diadromous species require intact corridors between ocean and riverine habitats. High dams block fish migration, but low-head artificial barriers are more widespread and are rarely assessed for impacts. Among all 46 drainages in Puerto Rico, we identified and surveyed 335 artificial barriers that hinder fish migration to 74.5% of the upstream habitat. We also surveyed occupancy of native diadromous fishes (Anguillidae, Eleotridae, Gobiidae, and Mugilidae) in 118 river reaches. Occupancy models demonstrated that barriers 2 meters (m) high restricted nongoby fish migration and extirpated those fish upstream of 4-m barriers. Gobies are adapted to climbing and are restricted by 12-m barriers and extirpated upstream of 32-m barriers. Our findings quantitatively illustrate the extensive impact of low-head structures on island stream fauna and provide guidance for natural resource management, habitat restoration, and water development strategies.

Depending on the force field parametrizations, most of which are based on multipolar interactions for the CN− molecule, the frequency-frequency correlation function and observables computed from it differ. Most notably, models based on multipoles for CN− and TIP3P for water yield quantitatively correct results when compared with experiments. Furthermore, the recent finding that T 1 times are sensitive to the van der Waals ranges on the CN− is confirmed in the present study. For the linear IR spectrum, the best model reproduces the full widths at half maximum almost quantitatively (13.0 cm−1 vs. 14.9 cm−1) if the rotational contribution to the linewidth is included. Without the rotational contribution, the lines are too narrow by about a factor of two, which agrees with Raman and IR experiments. The computed and experimental tilt angles (or nodal slopes) α as a function of the 2D IR waiting time compare favorably with the measured ones and the frequency fluctuation correlation function is invariably found to contain three time scales: a sub-ps, 1 ps, and one on the 10-ps time scale. These time scales are discussed in terms of the structural dynamics of the surrounding solvent and it is found that the longest time scale (≈10 ps) most likely corresponds to solvent exchange between the first and second solvation shell, in agreement with interpretations from nuclear magnetic resonance measurements.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Chemical Physics","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Institute of Physics","publisherLocation":"New York, NY","doi":"10.1063/1.4815969","usgsCitation":"Lee, M.W., Carr, J.K., Gollner, M., Hamm, P., and Meuwly, M., 2013, 2D IR spectra of cyanide in water investigated by molecular dynamics simulations: Journal of Chemical Physics, v. 139, no. 5, p. 1-12, https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4815969.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"12","numberOfPages":"13","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":473998,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4815969","text":"External Repository"},{"id":291309,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":291308,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4815969"}],"volume":"139","issue":"5","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-08-02","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"57f7f37ee4b0bc0bec0a09dd","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lee, Myung Won","contributorId":58950,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lee","given":"Myung","email":"","middleInitial":"Won","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":497058,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Carr, Joshua K.","contributorId":99904,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Carr","given":"Joshua","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":497061,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Gollner, Michael","contributorId":96200,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gollner","given":"Michael","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":497060,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hamm, Peter","contributorId":17161,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hamm","given":"Peter","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":497057,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Meuwly, Markus","contributorId":79408,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Meuwly","given":"Markus","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":497059,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}} ,{"id":70123889,"text":"70123889 - 2013 - Species of conservation concern and environmental stressors: Local regional and global effects","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2023-01-02T14:57:02.571974","indexId":"70123889","displayToPublicDate":"2013-01-01T12:38:00","publicationYear":"2013","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":1,"text":"Federal Government Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":32,"text":"General Technical Report","active":false,"publicationSubtype":{"id":1}},"seriesNumber":"RMRS-GTR-303","chapter":"6","title":"Species of conservation concern and environmental stressors: Local regional and global effects","docAbstract":"Species conservation has traditionally been based on individual species within the context of their requisite habitat, which is generally defined as the communities and ecosystems deemed necessary for their presence. Conservation decisions are hampered by the fact that environmental stressors that poetically threaten the persistence of species can operate at organizational levels larger than the habitat or home range of a focal species. Resource managers must therefore simultaneously consider local, regional, and/or global scale stressors for effective conservation and management of species of concern.
\nThe wide ranging effects associated with global stressors such as climate change may exceed or exacerbate the effects of local or regional stressors, they still need to understand the direct and interactive effects of global stressors and ultimately how they affect the lands they manage. Conservation of species in southern Nevada is further complication by the fact that the region includes one of the largest and fastest growing urban centers in North America. To accomplish the goal of species conservation, resource managers must identify actionable management options that mitigate the effects of local and regional stressor in the context of the effects of global stressors that are beyond their control.
\nSpecies conservation is typically focused on a subset often referred to as species of conservation concern that have either demonstrated considerable decline or are naturally rare or have limited distributions. Stressors can directly and indirectly impact species in a variety of ways and through a diversity of mechanisms. Some stressors have been more intense in the past (e.g., livestock grazing) whereas other are now only emerging as new stressors (e.g., solar energy development, climate change). The primary stressors affecting southern Nevada ecosystems are listed in table 2.1 and reviewed in detail in Chapter 2. This chapter addresses Dub-goal 1.4 in the SNAP Science Research Strategy which is to sustain and enhance southern Nevada's biotic communities to preserve biodiversity wand maintain viable populations (table 1.3; Turner and others 2009). We provide numerous examples of how stressors affect the range and/or habitat of select species of conservation concern. It is important to note that the species or groups discussed in this chapter by no means represent a comprehensive treatment of all species of conservation concern listed in Table 1.2 (Chapter 1). Rather, several species were chosen as examples for each southern Nevada ecosystem type to illustrate how stressors and linkages among them can affect species of conservation concern, keeping in mind that many of the species considered here are found in more than one ecosystem type. In addition, the stressors that may impact a species in one ecosystem may not be those that affect it in another ecosystem and different species in the same ecosystem may not be affected by the same suite of stressors. Finally, at the start of each ecosystem section we summarize key resource concerns, species used as examples, key stressors, and potential synergistic effects of those stressors relative to the species example.

Individual based analyses were used to test for population structure in the absence of a priori designations of population membership across the sampling area. Samples from the states of Wyoming, Colorado and Utah were also included in the analysis to provide a geographic context to the levels of population structure observed within Montana. Results showed that mule deer across our entire study region were characterized by weak isolation by distance and a lack of spatial autocorrelation at distances > 10 km. We found evidence for contemporary male bias in dispersal, with female mule deer exhibiting higher mean individual pairwise genetic distance than males. We tested for potential homogenizing effects of past translocations within Montana, but were unable to detect a genetic signature of these events. Our results indicate high levels of connectivity among mule deer populations in Montana and suggest few, if any, detectable barriers to mule deer gene flow or chronic wasting disease transmission.

Its effects on aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages in coastal marshes, however, are relatively poorly studied. We evaluated the effects of lateral hydrologic connectivity (permanently connected ponds: PCPs; temporary connected ponds: TCPs), and other environmental variables on aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages and functional feeding groups (FFGs) in freshwater, brackish, and saline marshes in Louisiana, USA. We hypothesized that (1) aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages in PCPs would have higher assemblage metric values (density, biomass, Shannon-Wiener diversity) than TCPs and (2) the density and proportional abundance of certain FFGs (i.e. scrapers, shredders, and collectors) would be greater in freshwater marsh than brackish and saline marshes. The data in our study only partially supported our first hypothesis: while freshwater marsh PCPs had higher density and biomass than TCPs, assemblage metric values in saline TCPs were greater than saline PCPs. In freshwater TCPs, long duration of isolation limited access of macroinvertebrates from adjacent water bodies, which may have reduced assemblage metric values. However, the relatively short duration of isolation in saline TCPs provided more stable or similar habitat conditions, facilitating higher assemblage metric values. As predicted by our second hypothesis, freshwater PCPs and TCPs supported a greater density of scrapers, shredders, and collectors than brackish and saline ponds. Aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages seem to be structured by individual taxa responses to salinity as well as pond habitat attributes.

The fault systems bounding the clusters from east to west are 1) the faults defining the eastern boundary of the Northeast Mojave Domain extended southward to connect to the Hector Mine rupture, 2) the Calico-Paradise fault system, 3) the Landers-Blackwater fault system, and 4) the Helendale-Lockhart fault system. This division of the Mojave Block is very similar to that proposed by Meade and Hager. However, no cluster boundary coincides with the Garlock Fault, the northern boundary of the Mojave Block. Rather, the clusters appear to continue without interruption from the Mojave Block north into the southern Walker Lane Belt, similar to the continuity across the Garlock Fault of the shear zone along the Blackwater-Little Lake fault system observed by Peltzer et al. Mapped traces of individual faults in the Mojave Block terminate within the block and do not continue across the Garlock Fault [Dokka and Travis, ].","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"ENglish","publisher":"AGU","doi":"10.1029/2012JB009699","usgsCitation":"Savage, J.C., and Simpson, R.W., 2013, Clustering of GPS velocities in the Mojave Block, southeastern California: Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth, v. 118, no. 4, p. 1747-1759, https://doi.org/10.1029/2012JB009699.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"1747","endPage":"1759","ipdsId":"IP-042092","costCenters":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":474002,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2012jb009699","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":274872,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":274871,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1029/2012JB009699"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","otherGeospatial":"Mojave Block","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -124.48,32.53 ], [ -124.48,42.01 ], [ -114.13,42.01 ], [ -114.13,32.53 ], [ -124.48,32.53 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"118","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-04-22","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51dfd3e0e4b0d332bf22f368","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Savage, James C. 0000-0002-5114-7673 jasavage@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5114-7673","contributorId":2412,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Savage","given":"James","email":"jasavage@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480455,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Simpson, Robert W. simpson@usgs.gov","contributorId":1053,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Simpson","given":"Robert","email":"simpson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480454,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}} ,{"id":70150443,"text":"70150443 - 2013 - Impacts of golden alga Prymnesium parvum on fish populations in reservoirs of the upper Colorado River and Brazos River basins, Texas","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2015-06-26T10:50:05","indexId":"70150443","displayToPublicDate":"2013-01-01T12:00:00","publicationYear":"2013","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"seriesTitle":{"id":3624,"text":"Transactions of the American Fisheries Society","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":10}},"title":"Impacts of golden alga Prymnesium parvum on fish populations in reservoirs of the upper Colorado River and Brazos River basins, Texas","docAbstract":"Several reservoirs in the upper Colorado River and Brazos River basins in Texas have experienced toxic blooms of golden alga Prymnesium parvum and associated fish kills since 2001. There is a paucity of information, however, regarding the population-level effects of such kills in large reservoirs, species-specific resistance to or recovery from kills, or potential differences in the patterns of impacts among basins. We used multiple before-after, control-impact analysis to determine whether repeated golden alga blooms have led to declines in the relative abundance and size structure of fish populations. Sustained declines were noted for 9 of 12 fish species surveyed in the upper Colorado River, whereas only one of eight species was impacted by golden alga in the Brazos River. In the upper Colorado River, White Bass Morone chrysops, White Crappie Pomoxis annularis, Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides, Bluegill Lepomis macrochirus, River Carpsucker Carpiodes carpio, Freshwater Drum Aplodinotus grunniens, Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus, Flathead Catfish Pylodictis olivaris, and Blue Catfish I. furcatus exhibited sustained declines in relative abundance, size structure, or both; Gizzard Shad Dorosoma cepedianum, Longnose Gar Lepisosteus osseus, and Common Carp Cyprinus carpio did not exhibit those declines. In the Brazos River, only the relative abundance of Blue Catfish was impacted. Overall, toxic golden alga blooms can negatively impact fish populations over the long-term, but the patterns of impact can vary considerably among river basins and species. In the Brazos River, populations of most fish species appear to be healthy, suggesting a positive angling outlook for this basin. In the upper Colorado River, fish populations have been severely impacted, and angling opportunities have been reduced. Basin-specific management plans aimed at improving water quality and quantity will likely reduce bloom intensity and allow recovery of fish populations to the abundances and size structures present before golden alga.

The NW CSC encompasses Washing-ton, Oregon, Idaho, and western Montana and has overlapping boundaries with three Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs): the Great Northern, the Great Basin, and the North Pacific. With guidance from its Executive Stakeholder Advisory Committee (ESAC), the NW CSC and its partner LCCs are addressing the highest priority regional climate science needs of Northwest natural and cultural resource managers.
\nClimate Science Centers tap into the scientific expertise of both the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and academic institutions. The NW CSC is supported by an academic consortium with the capacity to generate climate science and tools in a coordinated fashion, serving stakeholders across the Northwest region. This consortium is primarily represented by Oregon State University (OSU), the University of Id-ho (UI), and the University of Washington (UW). The academic consortium and USGS provide capabilities in climate science, ecology, impacts and vulnerability assessment, modeling, adaptation planning, and advanced information technology, all necessary to address and respond to climate change in the Northwest. University members also recruit and train graduate students and early-career scientists.
\nThis Annual Report summarizes progress for the goals set out in the NW CSC Strategic Plan for 2012-2015 (http://www.doi.gov/csc/northwest/upload/Northwest-CSC-Strategic-Plan.cfm) and the NW CSC Work-plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 (October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013). The report follows the structure of the Strategic Plan, which describes the five core services (Executive, Science, Data, Communications, and Education and Training) provided by the NW CSC in support of the stated vision:
\nOur Vision: To become nationally recognized as a best-practice model for the provision of climate science and decision support tools to address conservation and management issues in the Pacific Northwest Region.

However, in most forest ecosystems, natural and human disturbances, such as wind throw, fire, and harvest, can also exert important and lasting direct and indirect influence over productivity. We used an ecosystem model, PnET-CN, to examine how disturbance type, intensity, and frequency influence net primary production (NPP) across a range of forest types from Minnesota and Wisconsin, USA. We assessed the importance of past disturbances on NPP, net N mineralization, foliar N, and leaf area index at 107 forest stands of differing types (aspen, jack pine, northern hardwood, black spruce) and disturbance history (fire, harvest) by comparing model simulations with observations. The model reasonably predicted differences among forest types in productivity, foliar N, leaf area index, and net N mineralization. Model simulations that included past disturbances minimally improved predictions compared to simulations without disturbance, suggesting the legacy of past disturbances played a minor role in influencing current forest productivity rates. Modeled NPP was more sensitive to the intensity of soil removal during a disturbance than the fraction of stand mortality or wood removal. Increasing crown fire frequency resulted in lower NPP, particularly for conifer forest types with longer leaf life spans and longer recovery times. These findings suggest that, over long time periods, moderate frequency disturbances are a relatively less important control on productivity than climate, soil, and species traits.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Ecosystems","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s10021-012-9599-y","usgsCitation":"Peters, E.B., Wythers, K.R., Bradford, J.B., and Reich, P., 2013, Influence of disturbance on temperate forest productivity: Ecosystems, v. 16, no. 1, p. 95-110, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10021-012-9599-y.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"95","endPage":"110","ipdsId":"IP-033859","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":275113,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":275112,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10021-012-9599-y"}],"volume":"16","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-09-23","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51e7bce0e4b080b82b09c631","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Peters, Emily B.","contributorId":76210,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Peters","given":"Emily","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480283,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Wythers, Kirk R.","contributorId":84252,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wythers","given":"Kirk","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480284,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Bradford, John B. 0000-0001-9257-6303 jbradford@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9257-6303","contributorId":611,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bradford","given":"John","email":"jbradford@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480281,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Reich, Peter B.","contributorId":75835,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Reich","given":"Peter B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480282,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}} ,{"id":70047004,"text":"70047004 - 2013 - Estimating direct fatality impacts at wind farms: how far we’ve come, where we have yet to go","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2014-01-24T11:41:55","indexId":"70047004","displayToPublicDate":"2013-01-01T11:34:22","publicationYear":"2013","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":24,"text":"Conference Paper"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":19,"text":"Conference Paper"},"title":"Estimating direct fatality impacts at wind farms: how far we’ve come, where we have yet to go","docAbstract":"Measuring the potential impacts of wind farms on wildlife can be difficult and may require development \nof new statistical tools and models to accurately reflect the measurement process.

Lagrangian sampling, which follows a parcel of water as it moves downstream, was used to link hydrological and chemical transformation processes. Wastewater loading of neuro-active compounds varied considerably over a span of several hours, and thus a sampling regime was used to verify that the Lagrangian parcel was being sampled and a mechanism was developed to correct measured concentrations if it was not. In-stream attenuation over the 5.4-km evaluated reach could be modeled as pseudo-first-order decay for 11 of the 14 evaluated neuro-active pharmaceutical compounds, illustrating the capacity of streams to reduce conveyance of neuro-active compounds downstream. Fluoxetine and N-desmethyl citalopram were the most rapidly attenuated compounds (t1/2 = 3.6 ± 0.3 h, 4.0 ± 0.2 h, respectively). Lamotrigine, 10,11,-dihydro-10,11,-dihydroxy-carbamazepine, and carbamazepine were the most persistent (t1/2 = 12 ± 2.0 h, 12 ± 2.6 h, 21 ± 4.5 h, respectively). Parent compounds (e.g., buproprion, carbamazepine, lamotrigine) generally were more persistent relative to their metabolites. Several compounds (citalopram, venlafaxine, O-desmethyl-venlafaxine) were not attenuated. It was postulated that the primary mechanism of removal for these compounds was interaction with bed sediments and stream biofilms, based on measured concentrations in stream biofilms and a column experiment using stream sediments.

Historically, Marylanders have long \nhad to contend with rising water levels along its Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean and \ncoastal bay shores. Shorelines eroded and low-relief lands and islands, some previously \ninhabited, were inundated. Prior to the 20th century, this was largely due to the slow \nsinking of the land since Earth’s crust is still adjusting to the melting of large masses of \nice following the last glacial period. Over the 20th century, however, the rate of rise of the \naverage level of tidal waters with respect to land, or relative sea-level rise, has increased, \nat least partially as a result of global warming. Moreover, the scientific evidence is \ncompelling that Earth’s climate will continue to warm and its oceans will rise even more \nrapidly.
\nRecognizing the scientific consensus around global climate change, the contribution \nof human activities to it, and the vulnerability of Maryland’s people, property, public \ninvestments, and natural resources, Governor Martin O’Malley established the Maryland \nCommission on Climate Change on April 20, 2007. The Commission produced a Plan of \nAction that included a comprehensive climate change impact assessment, a greenhouse \ngas reduction strategy, and strategies for reducing Maryland’s vulnerability to climate \nchange. The Plan has led to landmark legislation to reduce the state’s greenhouse gas \nemissions and a variety of state policies designed to reduce energy consumption and \npromote adaptation to climate change.

Rapid population growth since the 1980s, the land uses associated with that growth, and the interactions of those uses with the generally dry and highly variable climate result in numerous stresses to ecosystems, species, and cultural resource. In addition, climate models predict that the rate of temperature increase and, thus, changes in ecological processes, will be highest for ecosystems like the Mojave Desert. The Southern Nevada Agency Partnership (SNAP; http:www.SNAP.gov) was established in 1999 to address common issues pertaining to public lands in southern Nevada. Partners include the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and USDA Forest Service and they work with each other, the local community, and other partners. SNAP agencies manage more than seven million acres of public lands in southern Nevada (95% of the land area). Federal land includes two national recreation areas, two national conservation area, four national wildlife refuges, 18 congressionally designated wilderness areas, five wilderness study areas, and 22 areas of critical environmental concern. The partnership's activities are mainly centered in Southern Nevada's Clark County (fig. 1.1), but lands managed by SNAP partner agencies also include portions of Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Mohave County, Arizona, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and USDA Forest Service-managed lands in Lincoln and Nye Counties, Nevada, and all lands and activities managed by the Southern Nevada District Office of the Bureau of Land Management. These lands encompass nine distinct ecosystem types (fig. 1.2), support multiple species of management concern an 17 listed species, and are rich in cultural and historic resource.

These varied environmental conditions support a high degree of biological diversity (Chapter 1), but they also provide opportunities for a wide range of invasive species. In addition, the population center of the Las Vegas valley, and the agricultural area scattered throughout Clark, Lincoln, and Nye counties, all connected by a network of roads and highways, plus ephemeral and perennial watercourses, provide abundant opportunities for new invaders to be transported into and within southern Nevada (Brooks 2009; Brookes and Lair 2009).
\nInvasive species are a concern for land managers because they can compete directly with native species (Brooks 2000; Chambers and others 2007; DeFlaco and others 2003, 2007; Mazzola and others 2010), change habitat conditions (Brooks and Esque 2002; Esque and others 2010; Miller and others 2011), and alter ecosystems properties (Brooks and Matchett 2006; Brooks and Pyke 2001; Evans and others 2001). Many invasive species have already established and spread to the point that they are now considered to pose significant problems in southern Nevada. However, there are likely many more than have wither not been transported to or colonized the region, or have established by for various reasons not spread or increased in abundance to the point where they have a significant impact. Land managers must understand both current and potential future problems posed by invasive species to appropriately prioritize management actions.
\nThis chapter addressed Sub-goal 1.2 in the SNAP Science Research Strategy (table 1.3; Turner and others 2009), which is to protect southern Nevada's ecosystems from the adverse impacts of invasive species. It provides a brief overview of the key concepts associated with the ecology and management of invasive species, and includes information relevant to all five strategic goals identified by the National Invasive Species Council: prevention, early detection and rapid response, control and management, restoration, and organization collaboration (National Invasive Species Council 2001, 2008). Restoration also is discussed in a broader context in Chapter 5 and 7. This chapter does not present a comprehensive review of all invasive species associated land management issues in southern Nevada, but rather uses key species of concern to illustrate invasion ecology concepts and management strategies. It is focused on terrestrial and aquatic plants and animals, and does not address potential invasive taxa from the other Kingdoms. The information presented herein is intended to provide a foundation upon which land management plans can be developed and project-level decisions can be made relative to the management of invasive species in southern Nevada.

Fire can also pose hazards to human life and property, particularly in the wildland/urban interface (WUI). The challenge faced by land managers is to prevent fires from occurring where they are likely to threaten ecosystem integrity or human developments, while allowing fires to occur where they will provide ecosystem benefits. The Southern Nevada Agency Partnership (SNAP) Science and Research Strategy summarizes this desired outcome with Sub-goal 1.1, which is to manage wildland fire to sustain Southern Nevada’s ecosystems (table 1.3; Chapter 1). This chapter provides information that will help land managers develop strategies to achieve this goal. It begins with a background section on fire history, spatial and temporal patterns of fire, and fire effects for the major ecosystem types of southern Nevada, (table 1.1; Chapter 1). Potential fire management actions are then discussed, the overall implications of the information to fire management are summarized, and the major knowledge gaps are described.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"The Southern Nevada Agency Partnership science and research synthesis: science to support land management in southern Nevada (General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-303)","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":1,"text":"Federal Government Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Forest Service","publisherLocation":"Fort Collins, CO","doi":"10.2737/RMRS-GTR-303","usgsCitation":"Brooks, M.L., Chambers, J., and McKinley, R., 2013, Fire history, effects and management in southern Nevada: General Technical Report, 22 p., https://doi.org/10.2737/RMRS-GTR-303.","productDescription":"22 p.","startPage":"75","endPage":"96","numberOfPages":"22","ipdsId":"IP-035136","costCenters":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":488931,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.2737/rmrs-gtr-303","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":294499,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Nevada","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -114.6533203125,\n 35.06597313798418\n ],\n [\n -114.6533203125,\n 36.06686213257888\n ],\n [\n -114.2138671875,\n 35.96022296929667\n ],\n [\n -114.08203125,\n 36.13787471840729\n ],\n [\n -114.071044921875,\n 37.35269280367274\n ],\n [\n -116.56494140625001,\n 37.309014074275915\n ],\n [\n -116.57592773437499,\n 36.527294814546245\n ],\n [\n -114.6533203125,\n 35.02099970111467\n ],\n [\n -114.6533203125,\n 35.06597313798418\n ]\n ]\n ]\n }\n }\n ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"54252eb4e4b0e641df8a6fee","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Brooks, Matthew L. 0000-0002-3518-6787 mlbrooks@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3518-6787","contributorId":393,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Brooks","given":"Matthew","email":"mlbrooks@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":500489,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Chambers, Jeanne","contributorId":32841,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Chambers","given":"Jeanne","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":500491,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"McKinley, Randy 0000-0001-7644-6365 rmckinley@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7644-6365","contributorId":1354,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McKinley","given":"Randy","email":"rmckinley@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":223,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Geography)","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":500490,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}} ,{"id":70100263,"text":"70100263 - 2013 - Reduced Myxobolus cerebralis actinospore production in a Colorado reservior may be linked to changes in Tubifex tubifex population structure","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2014-03-31T11:44:34","indexId":"70100263","displayToPublicDate":"2013-01-01T11:14:00","publicationYear":"2013","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"seriesTitle":{"id":2177,"text":"Journal of Aquatic Animal Health","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":10}},"title":"Reduced Myxobolus cerebralis actinospore production in a Colorado reservior may be linked to changes in Tubifex tubifex population structure","docAbstract":"Elucidating the dynamics of a parasitic infection requiring two hosts in a natural ecosystem can be a daunting task. Myxobolus cerebralis (Mc), the myxozoan parasite that causes whirling disease in some salmonids, was detected in the Colorado River upstream of Windy Gap Reservoir (WGR) in 1988. Subsequently, whirling disease was implicated in the decline of wild Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss in the river when WGR was identified as a point source of Mc triactinomyxons (TAMs). Between 1997 and 2004, numerous investigations began to elucidate the etiology of Mc in WGR. During this period, Mc TAM production in WGR declined more than 90%. Explanations for the decline have included differences in stream discharge between years, changes in the thermal regime of the lake, severe drought, changes in the fish population structure in WGR, and reductions in the prevalence and severity of Mc infection in salmonids in the Colorado and Fraser rivers upstream of WGR. All of these have been discredited as explanations for the reduced TAM production. In 2005, a new study was conducted to replicate the studies completed in 1998. In this paper, the results of a new real-time polymerase chain reaction assay utilized to quantify the mitochondrial 16S rDNA specific to each of four lineages of Tubifex tubifex in pooled samples of 50 oligochaetes are presented. These results suggest that compared with 1998, the densities of aquatic oligochaetes and T. tubifex have increased, TAM production has been greatly reduced, and the decline is congruent with the dominance of lineages I, V, and VI of T. tubifex—three lineages that are refractory or highly resistant to Mc infection—in the oligochaete population. While it is possible that the resistant lineages function as biofilters that deactivate Mc myxospores, the reason for the decline in TAM production in WGR remains an enigma.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Aquatic Animal Health","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Taylor & Francis","doi":"10.1080/08997659.2013.788581","usgsCitation":"Nehring, R.B., Hancock, B., Catanese, M., Stinson, M., Winkelman, D.L., Wood, J., and Epp, J., 2013, Reduced Myxobolus cerebralis actinospore production in a Colorado reservior may be linked to changes in Tubifex tubifex population structure: Journal of Aquatic Animal Health, v. 25, no. 3, p. 205-220, https://doi.org/10.1080/08997659.2013.788581.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"205","endPage":"220","ipdsId":"IP-054436","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":285141,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/08997659.2013.788581"},{"id":285142,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Colorado","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -105.9856492762,40.1011365 ], [ -105.9856492762,40.1087003 ], [ -105.9745471000,40.1087003 ], [ -105.9745471000,40.1011365 ], [ -105.9856492762,40.1011365 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"25","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-08-14","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5355955ce4b0120853e8c1a7","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Nehring, R.
