Item Faster drought recovery in anisohydric beech compared with isohydric spruce(Oxford University Press, 2023-01) Ulrich, Danielle E. M.; Grossiord, CharlotteWith drought and heat events increasing in frequency and intensity worldwide, global drought-induced tree decline (Allen et al. 2010, Hammond et al. 2022) has resulted in widespread interest in understanding the physiological mechanisms that underlie tree death. Unprecedented mortality rates threaten forest function and ecosystem services, including carbon (C) sequestration, clean air and water, and recreational and emotional value. Researchers have aimed to understand the mechanisms of tree mortality to better predict which trees will die or survive, inform future forest dynamics and improve forest management practices (McDowell et al. 2008, 2011, Raffa et al. 2008, Sevanto et al. 2014, Gaylord et al. 2015, Adams et al. 2017).Item Determinants of Relapse and Opportunities for Growth: Perspectives on Substance Use among American Indian Community Members(Informa UK Limited, 2021-10) Skewes, Monica C.; Gameon, Julie A.; Hallum-Montes, Rachel; Ricker, Adriannesulting from generations of historical oppression and systemic racism, American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities experience serious health disparities associated with substance use disorders (SUDs). As part of a longstanding community-based participatory research intervention development project, our partnership of academic and community co-researchers conducted seven focus groups (N = 35) to understand community stakeholders’ perspectives on substance use, relapse, and recovery on a rural AI reservation. Participants included cultural leaders (n = 10), SUD treatment providers (n = 5), people with SUD (n = 10), and affected family members (n = 10). Cultural leaders viewed relapse as symptomatic of historical oppression, whereas other stakeholder groups attributed relapse to individual and interpersonal risk factors such as peer influence, lack of family support, and traumatic stress. All participant groups recognized relapse as a normative aspect of recovering from SUD that presents new opportunities for learning and growth. Specifically, regaining humility, learning to ask for help, recognizing one’s triggers, and strengthening commitment to change were identified as learning outcomes for people with SUD. For family members, relapse provided the opportunity to practice forgiveness and compassion, two important cultural values. All groups emphasized the importance of grounding interventions in cultural values and traditions.
