Patterns and frequency of site disturbances
Disturbances often shape ecosystems by periodically reorganizing or destroying them, allowing for significant changes in plant and animal populations and communities.
The influence of restoration on the hydrology of a karst wetland, Everglades (FL, USA)
Poster Number: 374 Presenter/Primary Author: Pamela Sullivan Predicting and evaluating the influence of human modifications on karst wetland hydrology is challenging, as the groundwater and surface water have a close hydraulic connection.
Establishment and persistence of macroalgal phase shifts
Poster Number: 361 Presenter/Primary Author: Samantha Davis Coral reefs are among the most diverse and productive marine ecosystems, and are currently threatened by an increasing frequency and magnitude of natural and anthropogenic perturbations.
Climate variability, land use, disturbance regimes, and water supplies in a Rocky Mountain ecosystem
Poster Number: 357 Presenter/Primary Author: Patrick Bourgeron Our study areas include portions of the Niwot Ridge Long Term Ecological Research site and Boulder Creek, which is representative of the Colorado Front Range, where population increased by 30% from
Dynamics of social-ecological systems in the Colorado Front Range: Fire regimes, thresholds, and stable states
Poster Number: 356 Presenter/Primary Author: Patrick Bourgeron Forecasting change in mountain social-ecological systems presents significant challenges, as they are likely to display non-linear responses, i.e., they are more easily pushed or “tipped” across cr
Boom-bust episodes alter plant species diversity patterns in arid urban landscapes
Poster Number: 353 Presenter/Primary Author: Julie Ripplinger We often think of cities as designed ecosystems, where biophysical drivers are superseded by human decisions. But what happens during times of economic crisis?
