Relations between total-sediment load and peak discharge for rainstorm runoff on five ephemeral streams in Wyoming
J.G. Rankl
2004, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2002-4150
Total-sediment loads transported by ephemeral flows are a function of rainstorm energy and peak discharge. Rainstorm energy, estimated by rainfall intensity, is the primary mechanism for soil-particle detachment. Vegetation, soil cohesiveness, and land slope also are related to the amount of sediment detached, but these factors remain nearly constant, except...

Workshop 3.5: Closing the gap between exposure and effects in monitoring studies
Donald E. Tillitt, Diana M. Papoulias
2003, Pure and Applied Chemistry (75) 2467-2475
A major challenge to contaminant monitoring programs is the selection of an appropriate suite of measurements for assessing exposure and effects. Early monitoring programs relied solely on residue analysis to detect the organochlorine compounds that were in use at that time. A shift to the use of more transient, less...
Characterizing grazing disturbance in semiarid ecosystems across broad spatial scales using multiple indices.
Erik A. Beever, Robin J. Tausch, Peter F. Brussard
2003, Ecological Applications (13) 119-136
Although management and conservation strategies continue to move toward broader spatial scales and consideration of many taxonomic groups simultaneously, researchers have struggled to characterize responses to disturbance at these scales. Most studies of disturbance by feral grazers investigate effects on only one or two ecosystem elements across small spatial scales,...
