Sediment Dynamics and Wave-current Interactions
Described here is a model for the long-time formation and evolution of erodible beds under the action of waves and currents. It is an extention of a model rst developed by Craik and Leibovich, which describes the dynamics of Langmuir circulation cells, later adapted by McWilliams and Restrepo to model the interaction of a gravity wave eld with global oceanic ows.
متن کاملHow will biotic interactions influence climate change-induced range shifts?
Biotic interactions present a challenge in determining whether species distributions will track climate change. Interactions with competitors, consumers, mutualists, and facilitators can strongly influence local species distributions, but few studies assess how and whether these interactions will impede or accelerate climate change-induced range shifts. In this paper, we explore how ecologists ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Soil Salinity and Sodicity on Soil Erodibility, Sediment Transport and Downstream Water Quality
There is an abundance of literature on many aspects of soil salinity and sodicity, and the impact of increased salt and sodium on properties, behaviour, management and productivity of soils. However the impact of sodicity on erosion and soil erodibility and sediment transport has received less attention. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of changing soil salinity and sodicity...
متن کاملInferring biotic interactions from proxies.
Inferring biotic interactions from functional, phylogenetic and geographical proxies remains one great challenge in ecology. We propose a conceptual framework to infer the backbone of biotic interaction networks within regional species pools. First, interacting groups are identified to order links and remove forbidden interactions between species. Second, additional links are removed by examina...
متن کاملBiotic Interactions Influencing Shrub Establishment
BIOTIC INTERACTIONS INFLUENCING SHRUB ESTABLISHMENT ON AN ATLANTIC COAST BARRIER ISLAND. Elucidating mechanisms influencing the establishment of woody species is essential for understanding community dynamics and successional processes on barrier islands. The relative intensity of facilitation and inhibition of grasses on seedling establishment of two woody species common to Atlantic Coast barr...
