The effects of disturbance history, climate, and changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration and nitrogen deposition (Ndep) on carbon and water fluxes in seven North American evergreen forests are assessed using a coupled water–carbon–nitrogen model, canopy-scale flux observations, and descriptions of the vegetation type, management practices, and disturbance histories at each sit...

The Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) is a distance-independent, individual-tree forest growth model widely used in the United States to support management decisionmaking. Stands are the basic projection unit, but the spatial scope can be many thousands of stands. The temporal scope is several hundred years at a resolution of 5–10 years. Projections start with a summary of current conditions ev...

Detection of gamma rays which Compton scatter within a patient but are still within the photopeak window of the Anger camera leads to inaccuracies in quantification of radioactivity from nuclear-medicine images. With the dual-energy-window correction method and a single (universal) scatter multiplier, the activity error is relatively large when there is tissue background with a large range of v...

Validation of Leaf Area Index (LAI) derived from moderate resolution remote sensing observations generally involves optical technique to measure ground LAI. As the current validation datasets are derived using multiple optical retrieval techniques, assessment of the consistency between these techniques is required. In this study the effective Plant Area Index (PAIeff) retrievals by three major ...

Although stakeholder-based evaluation has been fairly well developed in the general program evaluation literature, it remains barely recognized in training evaluation practice. This article aims to contribute to our understanding of multiple stakeholder perceptions about training evaluation in an organizational context. Extending prior empirical work that described differences in stakeholder pe...

The numbers of horses grazing at pasture are increasing in developed countries, so a proper understanding of their feeding selectivity and of the tactics they use for extracting nutrients from swards is essential for themanagement of horses and grasslands. Resource acquisition in herbivores can be optimised through the modulation of their intake and patch selection both being strongly dependent...
