Modeling Canopy-Induced Turbulence In The Earth System: A Unified Parameterization Of Turbulent Exchange Within Plant Canopies And The Roughness Sublayer (Clm-Ml V0), Gordon B. Bonan, Edward G. Patton, Ian N. Harman, Keith W. Oleson, John J. Finnigan, Yaqiong Lu, Elizabeth A. Burakowski Apr 2018

Modeling Canopy-Induced Turbulence In The Earth System: A Unified Parameterization Of Turbulent Exchange Within Plant Canopies And The Roughness Sublayer (Clm-Ml V0), Gordon B. Bonan, Edward G. Patton, Ian N. Harman, Keith W. Oleson, John J. Finnigan, Yaqiong Lu, Elizabeth A. Burakowski

Faculty Publications

Land surface models used in climate models neglect the roughness sublayer and parameterize within-canopy turbulence in an ad hoc manner. We implemented a roughness sublayer turbulence parameterization in a multilayer canopy model (CLM-ml v0) to test if this theory provides a tractable parameterization extending from the ground through the canopy and the roughness sublayer. We compared the canopy model with the Community Land Model (CLM4.5) at seven forest, two grassland, and three cropland AmeriFlux sites over a range of canopy heights, leaf area indexes, and climates. CLM4.5 has pronounced biases during summer months at forest sites in midday latent heat …

Energy Gradients Structure Microbial Communities Across Sediment Horizons In Deep Marine Sediments Of The South China Sea, Michael F. Graw, Grace D'Angelo, Matthew Borchers, Andrew R. Thurber, Joel E. Johnson, Chuanlun Zhang, Frederick S. Colwell Apr 2018

Energy Gradients Structure Microbial Communities Across Sediment Horizons In Deep Marine Sediments Of The South China Sea, Michael F. Graw, Grace D'Angelo, Matthew Borchers, Andrew R. Thurber, Joel E. Johnson, Chuanlun Zhang, Frederick S. Colwell

Faculty Publications

The deep marine subsurface is a heterogeneous environment in which the assembly of microbial communities is thought to be controlled by a combination of organic matter deposition, electron acceptor availability, and sedimentology. However, the relative importance of these factors in structuring microbial communities in marine sediments remains unclear. The South China Sea (SCS) experiences significant variability in sedimentation across the basin and features discrete changes in sedimentology as a result of episodic deposition of turbidites and volcanic ashes within lithogenic clays and siliceous or calcareous ooze deposits throughout the basin's history. Deep subsurface microbial communities were recently sampled by the …

Conservation Of The Lion: Preventing An Africa Without The African Lion, Courtney Kamyk Apr 2018

Conservation Of The Lion: Preventing An Africa Without The African Lion, Courtney Kamyk

Inquiry Journal 2018

The African lion (Panthera leo) population is diminishing rapidly, approximately 43 percent since 1993. The species is currently listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). With numerous threats to current populations including human conflict, prey depletion, and habitat loss, the African lion is in danger of becoming endangered, or even critically endangered, in the near future. Ex-situ conservation is a proposed method of restoring populations. My research at the African Lion and Environmental Research Trust (ALERT) in Zambia focused on correlations of boldness with natural behaviors and sociality to help further understand individual …


Moose Habitat Use During Critical Periods In The Winter Tick Lifecycle And Agent-Based Modeling Of Moose-Winter Tick Relationships In Northern New Hampshire, Christine Healy Apr 2018

Moose Habitat Use During Critical Periods In The Winter Tick Lifecycle And Agent-Based Modeling Of Moose-Winter Tick Relationships In Northern New Hampshire, Christine Healy

Master's Theses and Capstones

High calf mortality has been documented in North American moose (Alces alces) populations along the southern extent of their range; in New England, this has been attributed to winter tick (Dermacentor albipictus) parasitism. This research was conducted to better understand moose activity during critical periods in the winter tick life cycle, and to assess the potential of simulation models in managing moose against future epizootics. Seasonal habitat use was measured using geospatial analyses of locational data from radio-marked animals at 3 sites in New Hampshire and Maine. An agent-based model, spatially explicit to two subsections of the New Hampshire field …


Using Day Neutral Cultivars And Low Tunnels To Extend The Strawberry Harvest Season In The Northeastern United States, Kaitlyn Marie Orde Apr 2018

Using Day Neutral Cultivars And Low Tunnels To Extend The Strawberry Harvest Season In The Northeastern United States, Kaitlyn Marie Orde

Master's Theses and Capstones

Day-neutral strawberry cultivars have produced competitive yields and allowed for extended production in several recent experiments in the Upper Midwest and northeastern US, and the inclusion of small plastic-covered low tunnels has increased percent marketable yields and even total yields in some cases. However, low tunnel systems have not been evaluated for production conditions in New England, and cultivar evaluation is limited. The objectives of our experiments were to: (1) evaluate five different plastic films with diverse light-transmission profiles, as well as three mulch types (black plastic, white-on-black plastic, and bare ground) for low tunnel day-neutral strawberry production in New …

Can Artificial Intelligence Alleviate Resource Scarcity?, Andrew Ware Apr 2018

Can Artificial Intelligence Alleviate Resource Scarcity?, Andrew Ware

Inquiry Journal 2018

During summer 2017, I explored the implications of the potential application of artificial intelligence (AI) to resource management at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Alongside my mentor, Dr. Simon Beard, I sought to determine the most noteworthy risks and benefits associated with developing AI that could offer agricultural guidance and that could someday offer insight into more efficient, effective, and equitable resource distribution. My research, funded by a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) grant, involved discussing AI-related issues in the context of resource scarcity with academics and …

Uncovering How Occupational Therapy Could Benefit Individuals Living With Sickle Cell Disease In Ghana, Carolyn D'Olympio Apr 2018

Uncovering How Occupational Therapy Could Benefit Individuals Living With Sickle Cell Disease In Ghana, Carolyn D'Olympio

Inquiry Journal 2018

In 2017, with funding from a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF), I spent ten weeks in Kumasi, Ghana conducting research on how occupational therapy may be beneficial for individuals living with sickle cell disease. At the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi, I conducted multiple interviews with five individuals living with sickle cell disease. I also traveled to the homes of these individuals to observe how their home environment may be influencing their ability to engage in everyday life with sickle cell disease, and I interviewed healthcare practitioners about the types of services available for these patients. Through my …

Rediscovering Antitrust's Lost Values, Thomas J. Horton Mar 2018

Rediscovering Antitrust's Lost Values, Thomas J. Horton

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

This Article traces Congress’s consistent balancing and blending of social, political, moral, and economic values and objectives over the course of nearly 120 years of antitrust legislation. As a starting point, a plethora of outstanding and insightful scholarship analyzing Congress’s objectives in passing the Sherman, Clayton, and FTC Acts already exists. Less studied, however, has been Congress’s more recent legislation, including the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (HSR Act), and the National Cooperative Production Amendments of 1993 and 2004, to the National Cooperative Research Act of 1984 (NCRPA). By analyzing the legislative histories of such antitrust legislation in detail, …

Lebar, Brian M. Mack, Rakesh Minocha, Subhash C. Minocha, Carol H. Carter-Wientjes, Christine M. Sickler, Kanniah Rajasekaran, Jeffrey W. Cary

Faculty Publications

Aspergillus flavus is a soil-borne saprophyte and an opportunistic pathogen of both humans and plants. This fungus not only causes disease in important food and feed crops such as maize, peanut, cottonseed, and tree nuts but also produces the toxic and carcinogenic secondary metabolites (SMs) known as aflatoxins. Polyamines (PAs) are ubiquitous polycations that influence normal growth, development, and stress responses in living organisms and have been shown to play a significant role in fungal pathogenesis. Biosynthesis of spermidine (Spd) is critical for cell growth as it is required for hypusination-mediated activation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A), and …

Gray, Miriam R. Johnston, Trevor F. Keenan, Stephen T. Klosterman, Margaret Kosmala, Eli K. Melaas, Mark A. Friedl, Stephen E. Frolking

All Materials

Vegetation phenology controls the seasonality of many ecosystem processes, as well as numerous biosphere-atmosphere feedbacks. Phenology is also highly sensitive to climate change and variability. Here we present a series of datasets, together consisting of almost 750 years of observations, characterizing vegetation phenology in diverse ecosystems across North America. Our data are derived from conventional, visible-wavelength, automated digital camera imagery collected through the PhenoCam network. For each archived image, we extracted RGB (red, green, blue) colour channel information, with means and other statistics calculated across a region-of-interest (ROI) delineating a specific vegetation type. From the high-frequency (typically, 30 min) imagery, …
