Organophosphorous Pesticides in Stormwater Runoff from Southern California
This project was primarily funded by a contract with the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) of the California Environmental Protection Agency. The contract was supported by an allotment dedicated to the pesticide monitoring priorities of the California Regional Water Quality Control Boards. The statements and conclusions in this report are those of the contractor and not necessarily those...
متن کاملSpecies traits affect the performance of species distribution models for plants in southern California
Questions: To what extent do plant species traits, including life history, life form, and disturbance response characteristics, affect the degree to which species distributions are determined by physical environmental factors? Is the strength of the relationship between species distribution and environment stronger in some disturbance-response types than in others? Location: California southwes...
متن کاملComparison of stormwater biofiltration systems in Southeast Australia and Southern California
Stormwater biofilters (also called rain gardens, bioretention systems, and bioswales) are used to manage stormwater runoff in urbanized environments. Some benefits of biofilters include flood prevention, stormwater runoff water quality improvement, and wildlife habitat. This technology has been implemented on a larger scale in southeast Australia, but cities and counties in southern California ...
متن کاملPlant Community Water Use and Invasibility of Semi-arid Shrublands by Woody Species in Southern California
Soil moisture is a key limiting resource in arid and semi-arid environments for woody shrub species. We assessed if three arid communities differed in their level of dry season soil moisture content and if the dominant species in these communities differed in their ability to use soil moisture. Water potential of all of the dominant woody plant species occurring in chaparral, coastal sage, and ...
متن کاملHuman impacts, plant invasion, and imperiled plant species in California.
Invasive species are one of the fastest growing conservation problems. These species homogenize the world's flora and fauna, threaten rare and endemic species, and impose large economic costs. Here, we examine the distribution of 834 of the more than 1000 exotic plant taxa that have become established in California, USA. Total species richness increases with net primary productivity; however, t...
