Simple models for exploitative and interference competition
(Elsevier, 1987-02)
Competition is exploitative when species compete for the same limited resource, and interference when species deplete one another's resources by interferences such as aggressive displays or fighting. If pure exploitative ...
Modeling nutrient behavior in Wetlands
(Elsevier, 1988-01)
A simple mathematical model os developed which permites dynamic simulation of wetland hydrology and of nutrient-driven interactions between wastewater and the wetland ecosystem. Spatial variations due to surface water flow ...
Effect of oil on recruitment from the seed bank of two tidal freshwater wetlands
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; SPB Academic Publishing bv ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1992-03)
The effect of oil spills on the recruitment of freshwater tidal wetland species was determined using soil seed bank samples collected in early March from two New Jersey Delaware River marshes. Samples were exposed to ...
Impact of a once-through cooling system on the yellow perch stock in the western basin of lake erie
(Elsevier, 1982-03)
The surplus production model, a conventional fishery stock assessment model, is applied to assess the entrainment and impingement impact of the Monroe Power Plant on the yellow perch standing stock and fishery in the western ...
Hedonic housing prices and the demand for clean air
(Elsevier, 1978-03)
This paper investigates the methodological problems associated with the use of housing market data to measure the willingness to pay for clean air. With the use of a hedonic housing price model and data for the Boston ...
Dynamics of fish populations with different compensatory processes when subjected to random survival of eggs and larvae
(Elsevier, 1993-08)
It is widely believed that abundance of fish populations is determined during the larval stage, for larval abundance is high, there is high variability in larval survival, and small changes in larval abundance could have ...
Population, Land Use and Deforestation in the Pan Amazon Basin: a Comparison of Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú and Venezuela
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2005-01)
This paper discusses the linkages between population change, land use, and deforestation in the Amazon regions of Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, and Venezuela. We begin with a brief discussion of theories of ...
Environmental negotiation: Its potential and its economic efficiency
(Elsevier, 1988-06)
Negotiation is increasingly viewed as a desirable alternative to courtroom conflict between industrialists and environmentalists. The "court battle" is often costly, time-consuming, uncertain, and all-or-nothing; negotiation ...
Modeling the annual thermal regime of lake Ohrid, Yugoslavia, using daily weather data
(Elsevier, 1982-03)
The time-dependent characteristics of the five weather variables which control the annual thermal response of Lake Ohrid are analyzed in detail. These are daily values for solar radiation, air temperature, humidity, wind ...
