Estimating the impacts of recurrent and expanding coastal flooding on septic systems in Maryland’s Chesapeake BayNARA Subscribed
Projected sea-level rise (SLR) is expected to substantially expand coastal flood extents across Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay, with implications for decentralized wastewater infrastructure. This study integrates modeled coastal flooding scenarios from 2020 to 2060 with septic systems locations to quantify exposure under daily and annual flood conditions and identify areas where exposure intersects with high social vulnerability. F...
The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2024 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
Privately protected areas (PPAs) are a potentially innovative conservation tool. Legal recognition is necessary for their success, especially where there are institutional challenges to nature conservation, such as in South America. Although PPAs have increased in South America since the early 2000s, there is a critical information gap pertaining to their legal frameworks. We analyzed the level of landowner commitment to and g...
Globally, tree fecundity exceeds productivity gradientsNARA Subscribed
Lack of tree fecundity data across climatic gradients precludes the analysis of how seed supply contributes to global variation in forest regeneration and biotic interactions responsible for biodiversity. A global synthesis of raw seedproduction data shows a 250‐fold increase in seed abundance from cold‐dry to warm‐wet climates, driven primarily by a 100‐fold increase in seed production for a given tree size. The modest (three...
STORMTOOLS Coastal Environmental Risk Index (CERI) predicts the coastal flooding damage to individual structures using coastal flooding levels, including the effects of sea level rise (SLR), provided in terms of the base flood elevation (BFE), specifications of the structure of interest (type and first floor elevation) and the associated damage functions from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE), North Atlantic Coast Compre...
