Long-Term Fire History In Great Basin Sagebrush Reconstructed From Macroscopic Charcoal In Spring Sediments, Newark Valley, Nevada, Scott Mensing, Stephanie Livingston, Pat Barker Feb 2006

Long-Term Fire History In Great Basin Sagebrush Reconstructed From Macroscopic Charcoal In Spring Sediments, Newark Valley, Nevada, Scott Mensing, Stephanie Livingston, Pat Barker

Western North American Naturalist

We use macroscopic charcoal analysis to reconstruct fire history in sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata var. wyomingensis and A. tridentata var. tridentata), in Newark Valley, Nevada. We analyzed charcoal at continuous 1-cm intervals (~7–127 years), and pollen at 2- to 10-cm intervals (~70–263 years) in a core spanning the last 5500 cal yr BP (calendar years before present). A charcoal peak in the historic period was associated with a >1400-ha fire dated to 1986 that burned in the watershed. We reconstructed the prehistoric fire history by inferring fires from similar charcoal peaks that were significantly greater than the background charcoal …


Transverse And Longitudinal Variation In Woody Riparian Vegetation Along A Montane River, Jonathan M. Friedman, Gregor T. Auble, Edmund D. Andrews, Gwen Kittel, Richard F. Madole, Eleanor R. Griffin, Tyler M. Allred Feb 2006

Transverse And Longitudinal Variation In Woody Riparian Vegetation Along A Montane River, Jonathan M. Friedman, Gregor T. Auble, Edmund D. Andrews, Gwen Kittel, Richard F. Madole, Eleanor R. Griffin, Tyler M. Allred

Western North American Naturalist

This study explores how the relationship between flow and riparian vegetation varies along a montane river. We mapped occurrence of woody riparian plant communities along 58 km of the San Miguel River in southwestern Colorado. We determined the recurrence interval of inundation for each plant community by combining step-backwater hydraulic modeling at 4 representative reaches with Log-Pearson analysis of 4 stream gaging stations. Finally, we mapped bottomland surficial geology and used a Geographic Information System to overlay the coverages of geology and vegetation. Plant communities were distinctly arrayed along the hydrologic gradient. The Salix exigua Nuttall (sandbar willow) community occurred …


Evaluating Plant Invasions From Both Habitat And Species Perspectives, Geneva W. Chong, Yuka Otsuki, Thomas J. Stohlgren, Debra Guenther, Paul Evangelista, Cynthia Villa, Alycia Waters Feb 2006

Evaluating Plant Invasions From Both Habitat And Species Perspectives, Geneva W. Chong, Yuka Otsuki, Thomas J. Stohlgren, Debra Guenther, Paul Evangelista, Cynthia Villa, Alycia Waters

Western North American Naturalist

We present an approach to quantitatively assess nonnative plant invasions at landscape scales from both habitat and species perspectives. Our case study included 34 nonnative species found in 142 plots (0.1 ha) in 14 vegetation types within the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument, Utah. A plot invasion index, based on nonnative species richness and cover, showed that only 16 of 142 plots were heavily invaded. A species invasive index, based on frequency, cover, and number of vegetation types invaded, showed that only 7 of 34 plant species were highly invasive. Multiple regressions using habitat characteristics (moisture index, elevation, soil P, native …

Landsat Cross-Calibration Based On Near Simultaneous Imaging Of Common Ground Targets, P.M. Teillet, B. L. Markham, Richard R. Irish Feb 2006

Landsat Cross-Calibration Based On Near Simultaneous Imaging Of Common Ground Targets, P.M. Teillet, B. L. Markham, Richard R. Irish

United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration: Publications

The paper presents the results of an extended analysis of image data sets acquired during the tandem-orbit configuration in 1999 for the purposes of radiometric cross-calibration of the Landsat-7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) and Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM) sensors. Earlier work focused on the tandem pair for the Railroad Valley Playa, Nevada (RVPN) site to tie down the Landsat-5 TM calibration based on the more accurate Landsat-7 ETM+ calibration. This paper describes new results based on as many as eight tandem image pairs. The additional tandem images are of primarily vegetated areas for which little or no ground reference …


Phylogenetic Analyses Of Mtdna Sequences Reveal Three Cryptic Lineages In The Widespread Neotropical Frog Leptodactylus Fuscus (Schneider, 1799) (Anura, Leptodactylidae), Arley Camargo, Rafael O. De Sá, W. Ronald Heyer Feb 2006

Phylogenetic Analyses Of Mtdna Sequences Reveal Three Cryptic Lineages In The Widespread Neotropical Frog Leptodactylus Fuscus (Schneider, 1799) (Anura, Leptodactylidae), Arley Camargo, Rafael O. De Sá, W. Ronald Heyer

Biology Faculty Publications

Leptodactylus fuscus is a neotropical frog ranging from Panamá to Argentina, to the east of the Andes mountains, and also inhabiting Margarita, Trinidad, and the Tobago islands. We performed phylogenetic analyses of 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, tRNA-Leu, and ND1 mitochondrial (mt) DNA sequences from specimens collected across the geographic distribution of L. fuscus to examine two alternative hypotheses: (i) L. fuscus is a single, widely distributed species, or (ii) L. fuscus is a species complex. We tested statistically for geographic association and partitioning of genetic variation among mtDNA clades. The mtDNA data supported the hypothesis of several cryptic species within …
