Print Media Response to SARS in New Zealand

To examine the media response to severe acute respiratory syndrome, we reviewed New Zealand's major newspaper (261 articles for 3 months). While important accurate health messages were frequently included, some were missed (e.g., hand washing in only 2% of articles). No incorrect information was identified, and health spokespersons were accurately quoted.

Sapling growth in response to light and nitrogen availability in a southern New England forest

In the northeastern US, the availability of light and nitrogen (N) limits the rate of woody plant growth in the forest understory and N limits forest productivity. Interspeci®c differences in the growth responses of saplings to the availability of these resources could affect the species composition of forest communities. While many studies have examined the relationship between shade-tolerance...

Light Limitation within Southern New Zealand Kelp Forest Communities

Light is the fundamental driver of primary productivity in the marine environment. Reduced light availability has the potential to alter the distribution, community composition, and productivity of key benthic primary producers, potentially reducing habitat and energy provision to coastal food webs. We compared the underwater light environment of macroalgal dominated shallow subtidal rocky reef...
