Silvopasture, the intentional integration of trees, forages, and livestock, may offer economic incentives for private landowners to restore these degraded woodlands while producing marketable livestock. Targeted goat bro...
Reproductive timing and clutch parameters of the pearl darter, Percina aurora , in the Pascagoula River drainageNARA Subscribed
Understanding the timing, duration and effort put into reproduction is vital to successful management of any species. The southeastern United States is home to tremendous levels of aquatic biodiversity and was recently named one of the Earth's biodiversity hotspots. For some species, the fundamentals of age, growth, reproductive timing and ecology remain poorly understood. Percina aurora , the pearl darter, has been recently l...
A framework for assessing the trade‐offs between economic and environmental uses of water in a river basinNARA Subscribed
Significant increases in water diversion for irrigation and other uses have taken place worldwide throughout the twentieth century, often with negative consequences for environmental sustainability. In this paper a framework which can be used to undertake an assessment of this trade‐off problem is presented. The framework aims to achieve a balance between water extractions for irrigation and other uses and environmental demand...
