Landsat 8 Based Leaf Area Index Estimation in Loblolly Pine Plantations
(MDPI, 2019-03-02)Leaf area index (LAI) is an important biophysical parameter used to monitor, model, and manage loblolly pine plantations across the southeastern United States. Landsat provides forest scientists and managers the ability ... -
Landscape Dynamics on the Island of La Gonave, Haiti, 1990-2010
(MDPI, 2013-09-16)The island of La Gonave lies northwest of Port-au-Prince and is representative of the subsistence Haitian lifestyle. Little is known about the land cover changes and conversion rates on La Gonave. Using Landsat images from ... -

Leopard Panthera pardus fusca Density in the Seasonally Dry, Subtropical Forest in the Bhabhar of Terai Arc, Nepal
(Hindawi, 2014-07-16)We estimated leopard (Panthera pardus fusca) abundance and density in the Bhabhar physiographic region in Parsa Wildlife Reserve, Nepal. The camera trap grid, covering sampling area of 289 km2 with 88 locations, accumulated ... -
Lesser Prairie-Chicken Avoidance of Trees in a Grassland Landscape
(2017-01)Grasslands are among the most imperiled ecosystems in North America. Reasons that grasslands are threatened include conversion to row-crop agriculture, fragmentation, and changes in fire regimes. The reduction of fire ... -
Lessons from Florida’s Experience Developing Numeric Nutrient Standards for Flowing Waters
(Virginia Water Resources Research Center, 2014-09)The December 2012 report entitled Technical and Policy Considerations and Options in Assessing Nutrient Stresses on Freshwater Streams in Virginia argued that the proposed screening process by the Academic Advisory Committee ... -
Lidar-based estimates of aboveground biomass in the continental US and Mexico using ground, airborne, and satellite observations
(2017-01)Existing national forest inventory plots, an airborne lidar scanning (ALS) system, and a space profiling lidar system (ICESat-GLAS) are used to generate circa 2005 estimates of total aboveground dry biomass (AGB) in forest ... -
A life course approach to understanding social drivers of rangeland conversion
(Ecology and Society, 2017-01)Grassland to woodland conversion, also known as woody plant encroachment (WPE), is a global-scale phenomena caused in large part by changes in social processes that affect rural land use patterns. Woody plant encroachment ... -
Lignocellulose@ Activated Clay Nanocomposite with Hierarchical Nanostructure Enhancing the Removal of Aqueous Zn(II)
(MDPI, 2019-10-18)A lignocellulose@ activated clay (Ln@AC) nanocomposite with a hierarchical nanostructure was successfully synthesized by the chemical intercalation reaction and applied in the removal of Zn(II) from an aqueous solution. ... -
Like mother, like offspring: maternal and offspring wound healing correlate in snakes
(Company of Biologists Ltd., 2013-07)Immune function early in life can be influenced by parental effects and the environment, but it remains unclear how these two factors may interact to influence immunocompetence. We evaluated maternal and environmental ... -

Limited Support for Thyroid Hormone or Corticosterone Related Gene Expression as a Proximate Mechanism of Incubation Temperature-Dependent Phenotypes in Birds
(Frontiers, 2019-07-05)The conditions that animals experience during early development can have profound consequences for health and fitness. In birds, one of the most important aspects of development is egg incubation temperature. A small ... -
Line Transect Surveys Underdetect Terrestrial Mammals: Implications for the Sustainability of Subsistence Hunting
(PLOS, 2016-04-13)Conservation of Neotropical game species must take into account the livelihood and food security needs of local human populations. Hunting management decisions should therefore rely on abundance and distribution data that ... -
Linear mixed-effects models to describe length-weight relationships for yellow croaker (Larimichthys Polyactis) along the north coast of China
(PLOS, 2017-02-22)In this study, length-weight relationships and relative condition factors were analyzed for Yellow Croaker (Larimichthys polyactis) along the north coast of China. Data covered six regions from north to south: Yellow River ... -
Linking ecosystem function and hydrologic regime to inform restoration of a forested peatland
(2019-03-01)Drainage is a globally common disturbance in forested peatlands that impacts peat soils, forest communities, and associated ecosystem functions, calling for informed hydrologic restoration strategies. The Great Dismal Swamp ... -
