PLANT ACCESSIBLE WATER STORAGE CAPACITY AND TREE-SCALE ROOT INTERACTIONS DETERMINE HOW FOREST DENSITY REDUCTIONS ALTER FOREST WATER USE AND PRODUCTIVITY

Plant Accessible Water Storage Capacity and Tree-Scale Root Interactions Determine How Forest Density Reductions Alter Forest Water Use and Productivity

Forest disturbances such as wildfire and drought-related disease often lead to declines in productivity that both influence and are influenced by forest water use, particularly in the semi-arid environments here of the Western US.Fuel treatments are frequently proposed to reduce vulnerability to these drought-related impacts and in some cases as an

Taxonomy of the poorly known Quedius mutilatus group of wingless montane species from Middle Asia (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Staphylinini)

The Quedius mutilatus group, a very poorly known presumably monophyletic complex of wingless, possibly hypogean species confined to the Tien-Shan Mountains, is characterized as such for the first time.Newly available material clarified the identity of Q.mutilatus Eppelsheim, 1888 and Q.kalabi berkley power worm 100 pack Smetana, 1995, each hitherto
