Overarching Activities Budget : Yr 8 Assigned
نویسنده
چکیده
This project aims to develop a loss model and related measures of community resilience for the Los Angeles lifeline study. It focuses on social and economic dimensions of resilience. In Year 7, the L.A. loss model is being refined by undertaking preliminary investigation of performance objectives (from the perspective of utilities), modeling impacts on hospitals, and integrating with related MCEER research. The Year 8 effort will investigate lifeline performance and resilience from the perspective of the broader community. Its goal is to recommend a procedure for developing resilience measures and objectives based on community stakeholder participation.

A synthesis of the impact of Russian forests on the global carbon budget for 19611998
An attempt is made to synthesize the current understanding of the impact of Russian forests on the global carbon (C) budget for the period 1961–1998 (37 years), based on a detailed inventory of pools and fluxes in 1988–1992, and a historical reconstruction of a full forest carbon budget for 1961–1998. All major intermediate indicators of the budget (phytomass, net primary production, impact of ...
متن کاملInclusion of soil carbon lateral movement alters terrestrial carbon budget in China
The lateral movement of soil carbon has a profound effect on the carbon budget of terrestrial ecosystems; however, it has never been quantified in China, which is one of the strongest soil erosion areas in the world. In this study, we estimated that the overall soil erosion in China varies from 11.27 to 18.17 Pg yr(-1) from 1982 to 2011, accounting for 7-21% of total soil erosion globally. Soil...
متن کاملThe multi-annual carbon budget of a peat-covered catchment.
This study estimates the complete carbon budget of an 11.4 km(2) peat-covered catchment in Northern England. The budget considers both fluvial and gaseous carbon fluxes and includes estimates of particulate organic carbon (POC); dissolved organic carbon (DOC); excess dissolved CO(2); release of methane (CH(4)); net ecosystem respiration of CO(2); and uptake of CO(2) by primary productivity. All...
متن کاملEstablishing a tracer-based sediment budget to preserve wetlands in Mediterranean mountain agroecosystems (NE Spain).
Mountain wetlands in Mediterranean regions are particularly threatened in agricultural environments due to anthropogenic activity. An integrated study of source-to-sink sediment fluxes was carried out in an agricultural catchment that holds a small permanent lake included in the European NATURA 2000 Network. More than 1000 yrs of human intervention and the variety of land uses pose a substantia...
