www.fort.usgs.gov — Riparian vegetation composition, structure and abundance are governed to a large degree by river flow regime and flow-mediated fluvial processes. Streamflow regime exerts selective pressures on riparian vegetation, resulting in adaptations (trait syndromes) to specific flow attributes. Widespread modification of flow regimes by humans has resulted More...

www.werc.usgs.gov — Species distribution models are widely used, at multiple scales, to predict the geographical distribution of habitat suitability or species occurrence. Several studies have found that more accurate predictive models of species occurrences can be developed for rarer species. One recent study, however, found the relationship between range size and More...
