A 5999!year soil pollen record of subalpine meadow vegetation in the Olympic Mountains\ Washington\ USA
0 Subalpine meadow communities are in~uenced by edaphic and microclimatic gradi! ents\ and should be a}ected by climate change that a}ects these local controls[ We used pollen preserved in meadow soils to investigate the long!term interaction of these factors in a 0!ha subalpine meadow in the Olympic Mountains\ Washington\ USA[ 1 To describe the spatial scale at which soil pollen is related to ...
متن کاملInfluence of rufuging consumers (pikas: Ochotona princeps) on subalpine meadow vegetation
Talus slopes in western North America frequently are bordered by vegetation that differs in biomass, cover, height, and species composition from vegetation located farther from talus. These areas are grazed by pikas (Ochotona princess, which nest in that talus. Foraging theory predicts that pikas will produce a gradient of grazing pressure, which could produce the observed vegetational zonation...
متن کاملRapid vegetation responses and feedbacks amplify climate model response to snow cover changes
We investigate the response of a climate system model to two different methods for estimating snow cover fraction. In the control case, snow cover fraction changes gradually with snow depth; in the alternative scenarios (one with prescribed vegetation and one with dynamic vegetation), snow cover fraction initially increases with snow depth almost twice as fast as the control method. In cases wh...

متن کاملAPPLICATION OF PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS IN SNOW MECHANICS
In the present work, failure of a snow slab is analyzed by accounting Normal mode criteria. The analysis has been extended to include residual stress into the model (in addition to body forces). Intensity of crack energy release rate, and displacement components have been derived and their values have been estimated. The obtained results have been compared with the existing snow slab failure mo...
