California produces 90% of all wine within the U.S. and dominates the $33 billion/year domestic retail wine industry. Since the 1950s, wine grape growers in California have seen dramatic increases in premium wine quality, grape yield, and crop value. Advances in viticultural practices (irrigation, nutrition, pest/disease control, trellising etc.) and experience in wine making have certainly contributed to the success (Jackson and Lombard 1993). In spite of such advances, wine growers generally believe climate plays a significant role in determining the quantity and quality of a given vintage.


Estimating Animal Abundance Using Noninvasive Dna Sampling: Promise And Pitfalls, L. Scott Mills, J. J. Ciatta, K. P. Lair, M. K. Schwartz, D. A. Tallmon Feb 2000

Estimating Animal Abundance Using Noninvasive Dna Sampling: Promise And Pitfalls, L. Scott Mills, J. J. Ciatta, K. P. Lair, M. K. Schwartz, D. A. Tallmon

Wildlife Biology Faculty Publications

Advances in molecular biology offer promise to the study of demographic characteristics of rare or hard-re-capture species, because individuals can now be identified through noninvasive sampling such as fecal collection or hair snags. However, individual genotyping using such methods currently leads to a novel problem that we call a "shadow effect," because some animals not captured previously are believed to be recaptures due to their DNA profile being an indistinguishable shadow of previously captured animals. We evaluate the impact of the shadow effect on the two methods most commonly used in applied population ecology to estimate the size of closed …

The Influence Of Landcover Change On Global Terrestrial Biogeochemistry, Steven W. Running, Ramakrishna R. Nemani, Kathy Hibbard, Galina Churkina Nov 1996

The Influence Of Landcover Change On Global Terrestrial Biogeochemistry, Steven W. Running, Ramakrishna R. Nemani, Kathy Hibbard, Galina Churkina

Numerical Terradynamic Simulation Group Publications

Discussions concerning global change typically concentrate on future climatic changes promulgated by changes in atmospheric chemistry, most notably increases in the so-called greenhouse gases such as CO2, CH4, and and N2O. Although the energy exchange characteristics of the Earth’s surface are an important component of climate models, the idea that changes in the terrestrial surface could also be a causal factor in climatic changes has not received much attention. Sensitivity studies with GCM’s suggested that regional climate can be dramatically changed by severe deforestation. Dickinson and Henderson-Sellers (1988) simulated the Amazon basin with complete forest cover, and then replaced with …

Impact Of A Parasitic Plant On The Structure And Dynamics Of Salt Marsh Vegetation, Steven C. Pennings, Ragan M. Callaway Jul 1996

Impact Of A Parasitic Plant On The Structure And Dynamics Of Salt Marsh Vegetation, Steven C. Pennings, Ragan M. Callaway

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

We investigated the effect of a native parasitic plant, Cuscuta salina, on the structure and dynamics of the plant community in a California salt marsh. Cuscuta was common in the middle marsh zones. The abundance of Cuscuta was positively correlated with the abundance of Limonium californicum at two sampling scales (0.25— and ≈\approx40—m2 quadrats). Sampling at the scale of individual plants indicated that the dominant plant in the marsh, Salicornia virginica, was preferred by Cuscuta as a host over Arthrocnemum subterminale, Limonium californicum, and Frankenia salina. This result was confirmed with host—choice experiments in the field. Based on spatial …


Temperature-Driven Variation In Substrate Oxygenation And The Balance Of Competition And Facilitation, Ragan M. Callaway, Leah King Jun 1996

Temperature-Driven Variation In Substrate Oxygenation And The Balance Of Competition And Facilitation, Ragan M. Callaway, Leah King

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Emergent wetland plants often alleviate the effects of anaerobic soils on root respiration by passively transporting oxygen belowground through continuous air spaces (aerenchyma) in leaves and roots. Oxygen leaked from the roots into the rhizosphere may oxidize minerals in the soil or become available to other plants. Some spatial patterns in marsh plant communities suggest interspecific facilitative interactions, but there is little experimental evidence for interplant facilitation via soil oxygenation. We investigated the capability of the widespread, highly aerenchymous wetland plant, Typa latifolia, to aerate sediments and affect the growth of two non—aerenchymous neighbors, Salix exigua and Myosotis laxa, both …
