ECOSYSTEM RESPONSES TO CLIMATE VARIABILITY AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES: DROUGHT ASSESSMENT (REMOTE SENSING), FIELD MEASUREMENTS (EDDY COVARIANCE) AND MODELING (DNDC)
(2017-12-15)Climate variability and management practices in isolation or in combination influence the properties of ecosystems and the flows of energy and materials through them. The goal of this dissertation is to better understand ... -
Interaction of climate and space in variation of the functional niche of freshwater mussels (Family: Unionidae)
(2020-05-08)Animals are an integral part of ecosystems: they consume and process materials, thus connecting the cycling of nutrients and matter through ecosystems. Freshwater mussels (order Unionoida) are a diverse group of bivalve ... -
Sensitivity of gross primary production of irrigation-permitted and non-permitted grassland and croplands to drought and pluvial conditions during 2010-2016
(2017-12-12)Abstract: To accurately estimate carbon cycling and food production, it is essential to understand how gross primary production (GPP) of irrigated and non-irrigated grasslands and croplands respond to drought and pluvial ... -
Water use conflicts in the Lower Pecos, Permian Basin: A spatio-temporal analysis of unconventional oil and gas development and agriculture under drought conditions
(2023-12-15)Unconventional oil and gas (UOG) production is increasing rapidly within the U.S., especially the practice of hydraulic fracturing (HF). HF requires large quantities of water, which raises concerns about water scarcity, ...
