Inter-Related Hydrologic Threats to Australia’s Agricultural Potential

Recognizing Change in Hydrologic Functions and Pathways due to Historical Agricultural Use: Implications to Hydrologic Assessments and Modeling

Documenting the recovery of hydrologic functions following perturbations is important to addressing issues associated with land use change and ecosystem restoration. Floodplains on the Santee Experimental Forest were used historically for rice cultivation in the early 1700s; those areas now support bottomland hardwood forests typical of the region. Recently acquired LIDAR data for the Santee Ex...

Potential biological weapons threats.

The list of agents that could pose the greatest public health risk in the event of a bioterrorist attack is short. However, although short, the list includes agents that, if acquired and properly disseminated, could cause a difficult public health challenge in terms of our ability to limit the numbers of casualties and control the damage to our cities and nation. The use of biological weapons h...

Ecological issues related to ozone: agricultural issues.

Research on the effects of ozone on agricultural crops and agro-ecosystems is needed for the development of regional emission reduction strategies, to underpin practical recommendations aiming to increase the sustainability of agricultural land management in a changing environment, and to secure food supply in regions with rapidly growing populations. Major limitations in current knowledge exis...
