Calibrating vascular plant abundance for detecting future climate changes in Oregon and Washington, USA
(ECOLOGICAL INDICATORS, 2010)We propose using future vascular plant abundances as indicators of future climate in a way analogous to the reconstruction of past environments by many palaeoecologists. To begin monitoring future short-term climate changes ... -
Coding Manual for: Modeling Child-Nature Interaction in a Forest Preschool
(University of Washington The Human Interaction with Nature and Technological Systems Laboratory Department of Psychology & University of Washington School of Environmental and Forest Sciences, 2022-05-08)There is increasing evidence that interaction with nature provides substantial benefits to the mental and physical development of children. While children’s time spent outdoors has declined substantially in recent decades, ... -
Historical Avifaunal Change and Current Effects of Hiking and Road Use on Avian Occupancy in a High Latitude Tundra Ecosystem
(IBIS, 2022)Tourism is increasing in tundra ecosystems across the world, yet its influence on bird communities and its interaction with other drivers of change is poorly known. To help fill this gap, we paired an interview-based ... -
Microbial community structures in family anaerobic digesters reveal potentially differing waste conversion pathways
(2023-10-12)Family-scale rural digesters are widely implemented in Nepal for waste management, resource recovery, and environmental stewardship for distributed communities. However, there is little documentation on the microbial ... -
Native solitary bee reproductive success depends on early season precipitation and host plant richness
(Springer, 2023)Spring-emerging bees depend upon the synchronized bloom times of angiosperms that provide pollen and nectar for offspring. The emergence of such bees and bloom times are linked to weather but can be phenologically mismatched, ... -
An observational analysis of Canada jay foraging and caching ecology in Denali National Park and Preserve-data
(2021)Arctic wildlife are among the globe’s most vulnerable species to climate change. Canada jays are generalist residents of northern boreal forests, and like many other winter-adapted animals, scatter hoard food to insulate ... -
Roadside Vegetated Filter Strips to Simultaneously Lower Stormwater Pollution Loadings and Improve Economics of Biorefinery Feedstocks
(2023-10-12)Roadside vegetated filters strips (VFSs) reduce roadway runoff pollution by intercepting stormwater and reducing pollutant loads. VFS maintenance and operating costs can be reduced by designing the VFSs to serve as sites ... -
The significance of population successional status to the evolution of seedling morphology in Pinus contorta var. latifolia (Pinaceae)
(Madroño, 2001)A greenhouse study of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) seedlings tested the hypothesis that the successional role of a population, because of its influence on selection, partly determines autecological ... -
Time-lapse imagery from eastern Washington, U.S.
(2022)We present a time-lapse camera dataset for snow monitoring from eastern Washington, U.S.A. Eight time-lapse cameras facing a red pole 3-5 m away from the camera were installed between December 2020 and May 2021. Cameras ...
