North American gross primary productivity: regional characterization and interannual variability

Seasonality and interannual variability in North American photosynthetic activity reflect potential patterns of climate variability. We simulate 24 yr (1983–2006) and evaluate regional and seasonal contribution to annual mean gross primary productivity (GPP) as well as its interannual variability. The highest productivity occurs in Mexico, the southeast United States and the Pacific Northwest. ...

Characterization of North American Armillaria species by nuclear DNA content and RFLP analysis

Twenty-six isolates representing nine North American Armillaria species were investigated with flow cytometry and RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) analyses to determine their nuclear DNA content and RFLP profile. Three putatively diploid isolates of A. ostoyae, A. gemina, A. calvescens, A. sinapina, A. mellea, A. gallica, A. nabsnona, and North American Biological Species (NABS) ...

Microsatellite Analysis of North American Wolverines

Elucidating the population genetic structure of a species gives us insight into the levels of gene flow and connectivity between geographic regions. These are important considerations when trying to manage a threatened or Blue-listed species, such as wolverines, as we are then provided with information on how far and where animals may be dispersing and where population boundaries occur. Populat...

Spatiotemporal analysis of remotely sensed Landsat time series data for monitoring 32 years of urbanization

The world is witnessing a dramatic shift of settlement pattern from rural to urban population, particularly in developing countries. The rapid Addis Ababa urbanization reflects this global phenomenon and the subsequent socio-economic and environmental impacts, are causing massive public uproar and political instability. The objective of this study was to use remotely sensed Landsat data to iden...
