Climatic Controls on Fire-Induced Sediment Pulses in Yellowstone National Park and Central Idaho: A Long-Term Perspective

Fire management addressing post-fire erosion and aquatic ecosystems tends to focus on shortterm effects persisting up to about a decade after fire. A longer perspective is important in understanding natural variability in post-fire erosion and sedimentation, the role of these processes in structuring habitat, and future expectations in light of a warming climate and environmental change. In coo...

Using PCR Amplification and Genetic Sequence Analysis of 18S rRNA Genes to Survey the Microbial Diversity and Distribution of Eukaryotic Microbes Inhabiting Two Thermo-acidic Streams in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Targeting Conservation Easements to Reduce Impacts of Private Land Development on Protected Areas

containing protected areas (i.e., national parks, national monuments, wildlife refuges, and wilderness areas) are growing more rapidly than counties without such areas (Rasker et al. 2004). Undeveloped private lands adjacent to these protected areas are especially vulnerable to economic growth, particularly rural residential development. Between 1970 and 2000, rural residential development in t...

A novel photosynthetic purple bacterium isolated from a yellowstone hot spring.

A thermophilic photosynthetic purple bacterium was isolated from the waters of a hot spring in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The organism differs from all known purple bacteria in that it grows optimally at a temperature of about 50 degrees C. The isolate contains bacteriochlorophyll a and grows autotrophically, oxidizing sulfide to elemental sulfur which is then stored as globules inside...
