Research on early warning indicators has generally focused on assessing temporal transitions with limited application of these methods to detecting spatial regimes. Traditional spatial boundary detection procedures that result in ecoregion maps are typically based on ecological potential (i.e. potential vegetation), and often fail to account for ongoing changes due to stressors such as land use...

Spin relaxation in a microscopic model of spin maser is studied theoretically. Seven qualitatively different regimes are found: free induction, collective induction, free relaxation, collective relaxation, weak superradiance, pure superradiance, and triggered superradi-ance. The initiation of relaxation can be originated either by an imposed initial coherence or by local spin fluctuations due t...

Fire has been an important ecosystem process in the Sierra Nevada for thousands of years. Before the area was settled in the 1850s, fires were generally frequent throughout much of the range. The frequency and severity of these fires varied spatially and temporally depending upon climate, elevation, topography, vegetation, edaphic conditions, and human cultural practices. Current management str...

Abstract. This presentation concerns the numerical approximation of a PDE system which models cell movements according to a chemoattractant concentration. The system under consideration turns out to couple a hyperbolic system with a diffusive equation. The solutions of such a model satisfy several properties to be preserved at the numerical level. Indeed, the solutions may contain vacuum, satis...

Due to increasing water and growing demand for food a more efficient water use system is needed for agriculture. This is more evidence for rice production with a higher water use for economical production. A large cultivar×water regime interaction exists for grain yield in rice. Therefore, information is required to adopt new rice cultivars with high yield potential under water-saving condition...
