Evidence of autumn nitrogen limitation and contribution of picoplankton to carbon fixation in Lake Tahoe
Cecily C.Y. Chang, Richard G. Petersen
1995, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (52) 54-62
Water samples were collected from Lake Tahoe at midlake and nearshore stations at three depths (25, 50, and 75 m, corresponding to light intensities of approximately 10, 1, and 0.1% of surface light) in May and September. The water samples were evaluated to decide the following: (1) whether carbon fixation was...
Transport of reacting solutes in rivers and streams
Robert L. Runkel, Kenneth E. Bencala
Vijay P. Singh, editor(s)
1995, Book chapter, Environmental hydrology
In this chapter we discuss the major processes affecting solutes in rivers and streams. Here a solute is generally defined as any substance or entity that is transported downstream by the flowing waters. Under this definition, solutes may be pollutants, such as pesticides and hydrocarbons, or naturally occurring substances such...
Climatic-change implications from long-term (1823-1994) ice records for the Laurentian Great Lakes
R. A. Assel, Dale M. Robertson, M.H. Hoff, J.H. Selgeby
1995, Annals of Glaciology (21) 383-386
Long-term ice records (1823-1994) from six sites in different parts of the Laurentian Great Lakes region were used to show the type and general timing of climatic changes throughout the region. The general timing of both freeze-up and ice loss varies and is driven by local air temperatures, adjacent...
Sea otters in the northern Pacific Ocean
James L. Bodkin, Ronald J. Jameson, James A. Estes
Edward T. LaRoe, Gaye S. Farris, Catherine E. Puckett, Peter D. Doran, Michael J. Mac, editor(s)
1995, Book chapter, Our living resources: A report to the nation on the distribution, abundance, and health of U.S. plants, animals, and ecosystems
About 250 years ago sea otters (Enhydra lutris) were distributed continuously from central Baja California, north and west along the Pacific Rim to Machatka Peninsula in Russia, and south along the Kuril Island to northern Japan (Kenyon 1969; Fig. 1a). Several hundred thousand sea otters may have occurred in the...
USGS supports ecosystem management in the San Francisco bay and delta
Frederic H. Nichols
1995, Interagency Ecological Program Newsletter (Summer 1995) 10-11
In the past several years, the Department of the Interior has ,l?laced particular emphasis on "ecosystem management" - the integration of scientific knowledge of ecological relationships with resource management practices to sustain ecological, cultural, and economic systems in broad habitat areas; eg., forest, desert, and aquatic habitats. The goal of...
ENSO events in the northern Gulf of Alaska, and effects on selected marine fisheries
K.M. Bailey, S.A. Macklin, R.K. Reed, R.D. Brodeur, W.J. Ingraham, John F. Piatt, M. Shima, R.C. Francis, P.J. Anderson, T.C. Royer, A. Hollowed, D.A. Somerton, W.S. Wooster
1995, Report
The 1991-93 El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event first appeared in the northern Gulf of Alaska in autumn 1991 with warm sea-surface temperatures. In winter 1992, there were pulses of increased sea level and anomalous circulation. El Nino conditions persisted at least through summer 1993. The effects of this ENSO event...
Introduced species, zebra mussels in North America
Don W. Schloesser
William A. Nierenberg, editor(s)
1995, Book chapter, Encyclopedia of environmental biology
The discovery of zebra mussels in North America in 1988 raised concern for water users because the species became abundant enough to obstruct the flow of water in human-made structures such as pipes and screens. This work reviews the biology, distribution, and impacts of zebra mussels in the context...
Non-native animals on public lands
Charles A. Drost, Gary M. Fellers
Edward T. LaRoe, Gaye S. Farris, Catherine E. Puckett, Peter D. Doran, Michael J. Mac, editor(s)
1995, Book chapter, Our living resources: A report to the nation on the distribution, abundance, and health of U.S. plants, animals, and ecosystems
Non-native plants and animals have become part of our surroundings, in cities, agricultural areas, and wildlands. While there are many beneficial purposes for non-native animals, such as for food and sport hunting and as agricultural animals, the introduction of some has had major negative economic consequences (Palmer 1899), and adverse...
