The Town Creek watershed is located in the Southeastern Plains Ecoregion in Mississippi. Its total area covers 1,769 km and represents approximately 50% of the upper Tombigbee River basin area contributing to the Aberdeen Pool on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. The sediment yield from the watershed attributes to the estimated 320,000 T yr of deposition in Aberdeen pool, where annual dredging ...

We combined a conceptual rainfall-runoff model and input-output relationships of stable isotopes to understand ecohydrological influences on hydrological partitioning in snow-influenced northern catchments. Six sites in Sweden (Krycklan), Canada (Wolf Creek; Baker Creek; Dorset), Scotland (Girnock) and the USA (Dry Creek) span moisture and energy gradients found at high latitudes. A meta-analys...

The mummichog, Fundulus heteroclitus, is one of the most abundant macrofaunal components of salt marsh ecosystems along the east coast of the United States. During April–November 1998, we determined the habitat use and movement patterns of young-of-the-year (YOY) and adult mummichogs in a restored marsh, formerly a salt hay farm, and an adjacent creek in order to expand our understanding of the...

Cougar (Puma concolor) management in Oregon is unique because hunting cougars with dogs was allowed through the 1994 hunting season, but thereafter Ballot Initiative Measure 18 prohibited the use of dogs to pursue cougars. Since 1995, hunting seasons have become increasingly longer withmore tags sold. The effects of changing management structure on survival rates and causes of mortality of coug...

Prediction of the peak discharge debris flow is one most important factors in mitigating disasters. Currently, empirical methods based on relationship between and total volume (magnitude) for many events are used to estimate planning or designing countermeasures Japan. In order with high accuracy, monitoring sensors load cell pressure sensor (hereafter referred as a DFLP system), was installed ...

Two extremely closely related species of stone flies, Allocapnia indianae Ricker and A. ohioensis Ross and Ricker, have almost perfectly sympatric ranges extending from southcentral Kentucky to southeastern Ohio, with isolated areas of distribution in south-central Indiana and in New York. Both species appear to be restricted to small streams having cave or spring origins. A comparison of their...

White Creek, Cripple Creek, Hayden Creek, Shadow Brook, and Mount Wellington watercourses constitute the northern watershed of Otsego Lake (Figure 1). Approximately 44% of the northern watershed is devoted to agricultural utilization (Harman et. al. 1997) and the potential for anthropogenically derived additions of total carbon (TC), total inorganic carbon (TIC/IC), and nitrogen affecting the l...
