Status Report for the National Wetlands Inventory Program: 2009
ISBN: 9781490588070 / Angielski / Miękka / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The National Wetlands Inventory Program (NWI) has been producing wetland maps and geospatial wetland data for the United States since the mid-1970s. The focus on the program has been on two fronts: 1) map or digital database preparation and delivery to the public, and 2) projecting and reporting on national wetland trends using a probability-based sampling design. The status of mapping has been made available through various media throughout the program's 30-year history (e.g., state atlases, regional status maps, and now through the internet via the Wetlands Mapper online tool). Annual...

Weather of 2009: Bluestone National Scenic River, Gauley River National Recreation Area, and New River Gorge National River
ISBN: 9781491063392 / Angielski / Miękka / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Weather and climate are widely recognized as key drivers of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, affecting biotic as well as abiotic ecosystem characteristics and processes. Global and regional scale climatic patterns, trends, and variations are critical to the cycling of elements, nutrients, and minerals through the ecosystems and can deliver pollutants from regional and even global sources (National Assessment Synthesis Team 2001). These variations and trends influence the fundamental properties of ecologic systems such as soil-water relationships and plant-soil processes and their...

Weather Data Inventory, Devils Postpile National Monument
ISBN: 9781491202326 / Angielski / Miękka / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Climate is a major driver of Sierra Nevada ecosystems. The cumulative effects of past and present climates, in concert with geologic factors (such as soil type) and processes (such as fire), largely determine current hydrology and species distribution patterns in the Sierra Nevada. Accelerated climatic change related to anthropogenic influences is expected to result in significant ecosystem effects in western montane systems, including reduced snowpack, altered fire regimes, and modified species vulnerability (CIRMOUNT Committee 2006). In the Sierra Nevada, atmospheric warming is resulting in...

Initial Results from a Study of Climatic Changes and the Effect on Wild Sheep Habitat in Selected Study Areas of Alaska
ISBN: 9781495930287 / Angielski / Miękka / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Climate change theorists have projected striking changes in local weather on earth due to increases in temperature. These predicted changes may cause melting glaciers and ice caps, rising sea levels, increasing desertification and other environmental changes which seem likely to affect presumed indicator species as harbingers of more significant changes. Wild sheep, even though they are one of the more successful mammalian taxa since Pleistocene times, exhibit a suite of adaptations to glacier driven environments which may be presumed to render them sensitive to environmental changes.

Predicting Sea-Level Rise Vulnerability of Terrestrial Habitat and Wildlife of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
ISBN: 9781495963520 / Angielski / Miękka / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. If current climate change trends continue, rising sea levels may inundate low-lying islands across the globe, placing island biodiversity at risk. Recent models predict a rise of approximately one meter (1 m) in global sea level by 2100, with larger increases possible in areas of the Pacific Ocean. Pacific Islands are unique ecosystems home to many endangered endemic plant and animal species. The Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI), which extend 1,930 kilometers (km) beyond the main Hawaiian Islands, are a World Heritage Site and part of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument. These...

ISBN: 9781492161790 / Angielski / Miękka / 42 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A main objective of the CAKN snowpack monitoring program is to record long-term trends in snow and monitor changes in the extent, duration, and character of the seasonal snow cover. This is accomplished through an interagency agreement with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to survey snow courses and aerial snow markers and to install and maintain Snow Telemetry (SNOTEL) sites in all three CAKN parks. The SNOTEL sites have proven to be the most accurate instrumented sites to document all forms of precipitation in Alaska, including snowfall which is difficult to measure in...
