Balancing forest-regeneration probabilities and maintenance costs in dry grasslands of high conservation priority
Janine Bolliger, Thomas C. Edwards Jr., Stefan Eggenberg, Sascha Ismail, Irmi Seidl, Felix Kienast
2011, Conservation Biology (25) 567-576
Abandonment of agricultural land has resulted in forest regeneration in species-rich dry grasslands across European mountain regions and threatens conservation efforts in this vegetation type. To support national conservation strategies, we used a site-selection algorithm (MARXAN) to find optimum sets of floristic regions (reporting units) that contain grasslands of high...

Numerical modeling of the impact of sea-level rise on fringing coral reef hydrodynamics and sediment transport
C. D. Storlazzi, E. Elias, M.E. Field, M.K. Presto
2011, Coral Reefs (30) 83-96
Most climate projections suggest that sea level may rise on the order of 0.5-1.0 m by 2100; it is not clear, however, how fluid flow and sediment dynamics on exposed fringing reefs might change in response to this rapid sea-level rise. Coupled hydrodynamic and sediment-transport numerical modeling is consistent with...
