Abstract Drought causes hydraulic failure in trees. Hydraulic failure is one of the main cause of mortality that trees succumb to. Tree die off due to drought conditions has been high in the last two decades. Hydraulic Failure goes hand and hand with two other concepts: carbon starvation and cavitation, which also cause tree mortality. These concepts occur when a tree is not able to transport enough water from the soil to support itself. Some species of trees are more susceptible to hydraulic…

preferred habitat is in bog lakes with banked shorelines where they can burrow and lakes with beaver (Castor canadensis) dens. River otters tend to avoid water systems that have steady slopped shorelines made of sand and/gravel. Different areas of the United Sates provide different preferred otter habitats. For instance, in Idaho it has been found that river otters prefer valley systems to mountain systems, and that streams are more likely to be chosen then lakes and reservoirs. Whereas in…

Furthermore, according to these projections the Caucasian population is expected to decline while other minority groups will increase by the year 2050. The State of Kentucky may also follow this trend, but it will take longer; perhaps by the end of the century because of less minority population residing in Kentucky (Population Projections, 2013). Statistics indicate that within the last decade only ten counties…

At each Coastal Reference Monitoring study site, a host of data was collected or measured according to…

Thirty years later, Maathai returned to her home land, and witnessed many sick, weak, and malnourished people. The once fertile land had…

Bentley, R. Alexander 2006 Strontium Isotopes from the Earth to the Archaeological Skeleton: A Review. Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory13(3): 138–187. In this article, Bentley provides a review of and explains the various ways in which strontium isotopes are used in archaeology, as well as potential problems with their analysis. He gives a detailed description of what strontium isotopic ratio analysis is, and how these numbers can indicate mobility through life. While a very…
