Blue carbon, or carbon dioxide captured and stored by submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in ecosystems, has been attracting attention as a measure to mitigate climate change. Since the scale of SAV meadows is smaller than that topography length scale, with former often occurring patches, flexibilities motion induce complicated interactions water flows make it difficult estimate sequestration ra...

Two-dimensional dry foams coarsen according to the von Neumann law as dA / dt ∝ ( n − 6) where is number of sides a bubble with area A . Such reach self-similar scaling state and side-number distributions are stationary. Combining self-similarity law, we derive time derivatives moments distribution relation connecting averages that weighted by powers area. To test these predictions, collect ana...

We compared the density and spatial distribution of four small mammal species (Microtus ochrogaster, Peromyscus maniculatus, Sigmodon hispidus, and P. leucopus) along with general measures of an old field plant community across two successional phases (1984–1986 and 1994–1996) of an experimental study of fragmentation in eastern Kansas. During the early phase the plant community was characteriz...
