pollinators.nbii.gov — The global declines in many kinds of pollinator species could potentially impact the global food supply, as many plants depend upon specific pollinators to reproduce. The Web site of the NBII Pollinators Project provides access to information about the biology, ecology, conservation status, and threats to native pollinators, pollinator-dependent More...
March 2009 | Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Western Ecological Research Center (WERC, Sacramento) | Format: .PDF
www.werc.usgs.gov — Fire occurs in many North American ecosystems, and most of these systems are resilient to fires that occur within a broad range of variability in frequency and intensity. In a recent USFS publication (General Technical Report PNW-GTR-779, ), USGS scientist Jon Keeley led a team of scientists from various agencies and academic institutions in More...
November 2007 | Publisher: Academic Institution (Sage-grouse Restoration Project (SGRP), Utah State University) | Format: .PDF
sgrp.usu.edu — The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and the Gunnison sage-grouse (C. minimus) are species of concern because of their population declines and shrinking geographic distributions. Of continuing interest is the question of population abundance and trends. This publication answers the questions that deal with sage-grouse population, More...
July 2007 | Publisher: Other (Ecological Society of America (ESA) Journal) | Format: URL
www.esajournals.org — Periodic wildfire maintains the integrity and species composition of many ecosystems, including the Mediterranean-climate shrublands of California. However, human activities alter natural fire regimes, which can lead to cascading ecological effects. Increased human ignitions at the wildland-urban interface (WUI) have recently gained attention, but More...
