Characterizing Inland Pacific Northwest American Viticultural Areas with Geospatial Data
American Viticultural Areas are officially recognized appellations for wine grapes (Vitis vinifera L.). They represent not only geographic identification for growers, but also economic significance through price premiums for grapes from desirable appellations and wines sourcing grapes from such appellations. Petitions for establishment and official descriptions of American Viticultural Areas in...
متن کاملQuantifying the abundance of co-occurring conifers along Inland Northwest (USA) climate gradients.
The occurrence and abundance of conifers along climate gradients in the Inland Northwest (USA) was assessed using data from 5082 field plots, 81% of which were forested. Analyses using the Random Forests classification tree revealed that the sequential distribution of species along an altitudinal gradient could be predicted with reasonable accuracy from a single climate variable, a growing-seas...
متن کاملModelling Associations between Public Understanding, Engagement and Forest Conditions in the Inland Northwest, USA
Opinions about public lands and the actions of private non-industrial forest owners in the western United States play important roles in forested landscape management as both public and private forests face increasing risks from large wildfires, pests and disease. This work presents the responses from two surveys, a random-sample telephone survey of more than 1500 residents and a mail survey ta...
متن کاملThe coastal-disjunct mesic flora in the inland Pacific Northwest of USA and Canada: refugia, dispersal and disequilibrium
Retrospective studies of how biotas reorganize through climate fluctuations may reveal many aspects of species that are difficult to measure directly, but understanding of which is greatly needed to constrain predictions of climate change impacts on biodiversity (Botkin et al., 2007). For example, species persistence in small populations (refugia) embedded within a regionally unfavourable clima...
متن کاملClimate Change Predicted to Negatively Influence Surface Soil Organic Matter of Dryland Cropping Systems in the Inland Pacific Northwest, USA
Soil organic matter (SOM) is a key indicator of agricultural productivity and overall soil health. Currently, dryland cropping systems of the inland Pacific Northwest (iPNW) span a large gradient in mean annual temperature (MAT) and precipitation (MAP). These climatic drivers are major determinants of surface SOM dynamics and storage characteristics. Future climate change projections through 20...
