Rangeland Ecology, Management and Conservation Benefits
The book written by seventeen experts in the field of rangeland management, this compilation of essays brings to light the latent issues concerning this subject to readers all over the globe. Though technical approaches can address some issues, social processes ultimately prevent the balancing of these matters. Socio-economic and political institutions are often a stumbling block for improving ...
متن کاملGroundwater: from mystery to management
Groundwater has been used for domestic and irrigation needs from time immemorial. Yet its nature and occurrence have always possessed a certain mystery because water below the land surface is invisible and relatively inaccessible. The influence of this mystery lingers in some tenets that govern groundwater law. With the birth of modern geology during the late nineteenth century, groundwater sci...
متن کاملValuing potential groundwater protection benefits
This paper explores the implications of endogenous risk for the economic value of preventing groundwater contamination. We consider the analytical implications of endogenous risk for five key building blocks frequently used to structure studies of groundwater valuation: the probability and the location of contamination, the exposed population, risk perceptions, and intertemporal issues.
متن کاملCurrent Magnitude and Mechanisms of Groundwater Discharge in the Arctic: Case Study from Alaska.
To better understand groundwater-surface water dynamics in high latitude areas, we conducted a field study at three sites in Alaska with varying permafrost coverage. The natural groundwater tracer ((222)Rn, radon) was used to evaluate groundwater discharge, and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) was used to examine subsurface mixing dynamics. Different controls govern groundwater discharge...
متن کاملNeuronal current imaging: sensitivity of magnitude and spatial distribution to changes in current timing
Introduction: Direct neuronal current imaging is a method that could potentially provide direct access to neuronal activity with an excellent spatial (mm) and temporal resolution (ms) [1-3]. However, so far it has not been convincingly demonstrated that MRI has adequate sensitivity to detect neuronal currents in vivo. In order to pin down the most influential factors in the signal formation, wi...
