Large-scale and long-term habitat management plans are needed to maintain the diversity of habitat classes required by wildlife species. Planning efforts would benefit from assessments of potential climate and land-use change effects on habitats. We assessed climate and land-use driven changes in areas of closedand open-canopy forest across the Northeast and Midwest by 2060. Our assessments wer...

The value VF,n(a0, . . . , an, b) = a0 + a1b+ a2b 2 + · · ·+ anb of a polynomial of degree n ≥ 1 over a field F can be computed by Horner’s rule using no more than nmultiplications in F , and it is optimal (for many fields, including the reals R and the complexes C) for the number of multiplications and/or divisions required, cf. Pan [1966], Winograd [1967, 1970]. We show that Horner’s rule is ...

Probabilistic projection of climate change consists of formulating the climate change information in a probabilistic manner at either global or regional scale. This can produce useful results for studies of the impact of climate change impact and change mitigation. In the present study, a simple yet effective approach is proposed with the purpose of producing probabilistic results of climate ch...

Biogenic emissions and secondary organic aerosols (SOA) are strongly dependent on climatic conditions. To understand the SOA levels and their sensitivity to future climate change in the United States (U.S.), we present amodelingworkwith the consideration of SOA formation from the oxidation of biogenic emissions with atmospheric oxidants (e.g., OH, O3, and NO3). The model simulation for the pres...
