Glaciations of the Sierra Nevada, California, USA
The Sierra Nevada is a c. 4000 m range of mountains paralle1 to the North American Pacific Coast that was repeatedly glaciated during the climatic fluchrations of the Quatemary. The glacial record on the eastem side of the range includes eight named Pleistocene glaciations and stadials: McGee, Sherwin, Casa Diablo, Mono Basin, Tahoe, Tenaya, Tioga and Recess Peak, as well as the Neoglacial Matt...
متن کاملFoundering lithosphere imaged beneath the southern Sierra Nevada, California, USA.
Seismic tomography reveals garnet-rich crust and mantle lithosphere descending into the upper mantle beneath the southeastern Sierra Nevada. The descending lithosphere consists of two layers: an iron-rich eclogite above a magnesium-rich garnet peridotite. These results place descending eclogite above and east of high P wave speed material previously imaged beneath the southern Great Valley, sug...
متن کاملPostglacial vegetation and fire history, eastern Klamath Mountains, California, USA
Pollen and high-resolution charcoal data from Bluff Lake and Crater Lake, California, indicate similar changes in climate, vegetation and fire history during the last 15 500 years. Pollen data at Bluff Lake suggest that the vegetation between c. 15 500 and 13 100 cal. BP consisted of subalpine parkland with scattered Pinus and Abies. After 13 100 cal. BP a relatively closed forest of P. montico...
متن کاملLocal ecology and geographic ranges of plants in the Bishop Creek watershed of the eastern Sierra Nevada, California, USA
All species have ecophysiological requirements and tolerances, and both their local niche occupancy and their geographic distribution depend on the availability of suitable habitat (Gaston, 1990). Range sizes have been correlated with a number of variables, including niche breadth, local abundance, body size, growth form, pollination syndrome, and dispersal mode (Bock & Ricklefs, 1983; Brown, 1...
متن کاملClimatic and structural comparison of yellow pine and mixed-conifer forests in northern Baja California (México) and the eastern Sierra Nevada (California, USA)
Effects of fire suppression policies on semi-arid yellow pine and mixed conifer (YPMC) forests in the western US have been well documented, and restoration of forest structure and natural fire regimes are high management priorities to ensure the health and resilience of such forests. However, determining reference conditions for ecological restoration is difficult due to the near absence of und...
