A negative phase of the PDO has been linked to decadal reductions in the rate of global mean surface temperature increase, as well as to the widening of the Northern Hemisphere tropical belt since 1979. In both cases there is evidence for an anthropogenic aerosol control (Allen et al. 2014)...
Parks in western Washington and northwestern Oregon became part of the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN). Scientists keep their finger on the pulse of NCCN parks through monitoring ecological "vital signs." These characteristics, including wildlife populations, water quality, glaciers, forests, ...
The Desert,the Sierra,Northern California,Oregon,Washington Demographics First, let’s look at information from the Pacific Crest Trail Class of 2022 that isn’t going to help anyone plan a thru-hike, but that’s interesting nonetheless. I delve deeper into the demographics of each year’s cla...
It isn’t even close. The financial ROI is 0.9%, which is below the rate of return for government debt in the very long run. Even with social benefits included, the rate is very low, maybe 2.5% – and once social benefits come into play, the value of capital rises because competing ...
performing a first full-length amplification using the 27 F/1492 R 16S universal primer set29,30in order to increase the target DNA, and a second amplification using the 515F-Y/926 R primers31. Specific primers of Symbiodiniaceae targeting the ITS2 region of the nuclear ribosomal ...
Atmospheric rivers are long and narrow bands of enhanced water vapour transport concentrated in the lower troposphere. Many studies have documented the important role of cold-season atmospheric rivers in producing heavy precipitation and extreme flooding
For example, an increase in population over age 65 was associated with fewer human ignitions in the Pacific Northwest, whereas results from Spain found older adult populations had a positive relationship with human ignitions, potentially due to the associated cultural burning practices in the region...
The large increase at Humboldt is probably due to a combination of various factors. First, the TG is located relatively near the triple junction tectonic activity, where the VLM is negative (P162 −1.6 ± 0.8 mm/yr PANGA) which may be the result of the tectonic activity. Secondly, we ...
(F= 2.69,df= 6, 49,p= 0.02) indicating the presence of more spiders in some of the sampling dates than in the others irrespective of the treatment. We observed a gradual increase of spiders collected from tree-banding in both treatments after the two insecticide sprays (Figure 3b). ...
Considering the GWP from the bioethanol of poplar and gasoline, there was a notable increase when shifting from poplar bioethanol to gasoline. The net GWP of bioethanol from poplar was −1.05 g CO2-eq·MJ−1, while for gasoline it was 88 g CO2-eq·MJ−1. This difference was highly ...
