ABSTRACT VOLATILE fatty acid (VFA) relationships are important in the anaerobic digestion of animal wastes as they (acetic, propionic and butyric) direct precursors methane, either through conversion acetate or intermediate formation hydrogen carbon dioxide. Thus, essential compounds biological heterogenous to useable products. VFA's also known inhibitors process if their concentrations sufficiently high. simultaneously for can be toxic agents should present excess quantities. This...

Abstract To meet the challenges of hazards impacting coastal communities, demand is growing for more equitable natural hazard adaptation and disaster mitigation approaches, supported by co-productive research partnerships. This review paper outlines contemporary advances in with attention to how an equity justice framework can address uneven impacts on marginalized underserved communities. Drawing upon allied concepts distributive, procedural, systemic, recognitional justice, we illustrate...

Coastal communities face heightened risk to coastal flooding and erosion hazards due sea-level rise, changing storminess patterns, evolving human development pressures. Incorporating uncertainty associated with both climate change the range of possible adaptation measures is essential for projecting exposure erosion, as well community vulnerability through time. A spatially explicit agent-based modeling platform, that provides a scenario-based framework examining interactions between natural...
We developed a new climate-sensitive vegetation state-and-transition simulation model (CV-STSM) to simulate future at fine spatial grain commensurate with the scales of human land-use decisions, and under joint influences changing climate, site productivity, disturbance. CV-STSM integrates outputs from four different modeling systems. Successional changes in tree species composition stand structure were represented as transition probabilities organized into model. States characterized based...

Riparian forest management plans for numerous regions throughout the world must consider long‐term supply of wood to streams. The simulation model OSU STREAMWOOD was used evaluate potential effects riparian scenarios on standing stock in a hypothetical stream Pacific Northwest, USA. simulates growth, tree entry (including breakage), and in‐channel processes (log breakage, movement, decomposition). Results three are reported. first scenario assessed total volume channel from Douglas‐fir...
Abstract Many large rivers flow through a variety of geologic materials. Within the span several kilometres, bends may alternately against recently reworked sediments, older, more indurated sediments or highly resistant As sediment size, cementation, and other properties strongly influence erodibility river banks, erosion rates channel planform are likely to vary significantly along length rivers. In order assess role bank materials on rates, we develop method for detecting relative...
