Limiting Factors for Recovery of Atlantic Sturgeon on the Altamaha River
The Atlantic sturgeon Acipenser oxyrinchus is a key component of the unique biological assemblage of the Altamaha River of coastal Georgia. Although the Altamaha once supported one of the largest Atlantic sturgeon fisheries in U.S. waters, the fishery was closed in 1995 because over-harvest and habitat destruction had decimated all major US populations. read more

Development and Application of Landscape Simulation Models
Because of the long temporal scales and the large spatial scales over which landscape processes operate, it is often difficult to implement observational studies or controlled experiments at the landscape level. Simulation modeling has therefore read more

Green Roof Study
Green roofs, also known as vegetated roofs or roof gardens, use soil and vegetation to retain and detain precipitation on impervious roof tops. While runoff reduction is an accepted benefit of traditional green roofs, not all roofs are... read more

Forest landscape planning in Coastal Oregon
Natural resource management policies have historically been evaluated and implemented without using simulations of potential forest landscape condition over time. Forest-based resource policies have traditionally been based on stand-level analyses of individual land ownerships.. read more

Eastern Indigo Snake Spatial Ecology and Habitat Use in Southeastern Georgia
The eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon couperi), the largest North American snake species, has been federally listed as threatened since 1978, due to population declines caused primarily by anthropogenic habitat loss and degradation. Despite its federal protective status...read more
