Correspondence: Flawed assumptions compromise water yield assessment
In their recent study, Zhou et al.1 (hereafter Z15) aim at mapping global patterns of the relative contributions of climate and landcover change on the water yield coefficient. However, implicit and not discussed assumptions on ‘typical changes’ of the considered forcing factors2,3 raise questions on the physical integrity of substantial aspects of their analysis4. In fact, we show here that ce...
متن کاملDolphin-Assisted Therapy: More Flawed Data and More Flawed Conclusions
Dolphin-Assisted Therapy (DAT) is an increasingly popular choice of treatment for illness and developmental disabilities by providing participants with the opportunity to swim or interact with live captive dolphins. Two reviews of DAT (Marino and Lilienfeld [1998] and Humphries [2003]) concluded that there is no credible scientific evidence for the effectiveness of this intervention. In this pa...
متن کاملFlawed trials, flawed analysis: why CBP should avoid rating itself.
The views expressed in this editorial are in part derived from discussion that took place during March, 2006, among the individuals who make up the Technique Consortium. This is an intercollegiate group, consisting of technique department chairs and technique instructors, that meets once a year under the auspices of the Association of Chiropractic Colleges. Despite the benefit provided by the i...
متن کاملAutomatic discrimination of fine roots in minirhizotron images.
Minirhizotrons provide detailed information on the production, life history and mortality of fine roots. However, manual processing of minirhizotron images is time-consuming, limiting the number and size of experiments that can reasonably be analysed. Previously, an algorithm was developed to automatically detect and measure individual roots in minirhizotron images. Here, species-specific root ...
متن کاملEffects of Crown Scorch on Longleaf Pine Fine Roots’
Photosynthate production is reduced by foliage loss. Thus, scorch-induced decreases in the leaf area of longleaf pine (Pinus pa/u&is Mill.) may reduce photosynthate allocation to roots. In this investigation the root carbohydrate concentrations and dynamics of longleaf pine after two intensities of prescribed burning were monitored. In September 1996,65-year-old longleaf pine were burned. Plots...
