Exotic invasion of timberline vegetation, northern Rocky Mountains, USA
(1990)Thirty-five exotic species were found in vegetation characteristic of Northern Rocky Mountain timberlines. At least 20 percent were intentionally introduced along road-sides. The diversity of invading exotics declined from ... -
Seeing whitebark pine in a northern Rocky Mountain (USA) landscape: notes for a field trip
(1990)The changing role of whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) along an altitudinal gradient typical of the Northern Rocky Mountains (USA) can be seen from the gondolas at the "Big Sky" resort near Bozeman, MT. Whitebark pine ... -
Berry production in three whitebark pine forest types
(1990)In the whitebark pine lwhortleberry (Pinus albicaulis/Vaccinium scoparium) habitat type of southwestern Montana, whortleberry plants produced seven to 69 berries I m• X yr in 1974. In subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) habitat ... -
Biotic and microsite factors affecting whitebark pine establishment
(1990)To enhance establishment of future whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) forests, information is needed on the physical and biological factors affecting whitebark seed germination and seedling establishment. This paper ... -
Effects of temperature and temperature preconditioning on seedling performance of whitebark pine
(1990)Four experiments explored the effects of temperature on the germination and seedling performance of whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis). While 1 month of stratification increased germination from 5 percent to about 40 percent, ... -
Stand development in whitebark pine woodlands
(1990)Analysis of density data from stands in the Northern Rocky Mountains shows that, while seedlings establish at the rate of over 1,000 I ha x year in whitebark pine-grouse whortleberry (Pinus albicaulis-Vaccinium scoparium) ... -
Climates of subalpine pine woodlands
(1990)The climate of whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) woodlands is generally cold (average daily maxima and minima in January are -2 and -11 °C, respectively) and snowy 1 to 3 m maximum pack) in winter and warm (July average ... -
Whitebark pine community types and their patterns on the landscape
(1990)Within whitebark pine's (Pinus albicaulis) relatively narrow zone of occurrence-the highest elevations of tree growth from California and Wyoming north to British Columbia and Alberta-this species is a member of diverse ... -
Occurrence of Multiple Stems in Whitepark Pine
(1990)Depending on the stand, Montana-Wyoming whitebark pines (Pinus albicaulis) may have multiple stems in 8 to 79 percent of the trees. The clumps had one to 11 stems with stand medians between two and three. Multiple stems ... -
Reference Guide to Whitebark Pine
(1990)The purpose of this guide is to provide an easy access to literature about whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) for those managers and researchers who are concerned with this species. Because of the uniqueness of the species ... -
Hydrogen production from mechanically-activated basalt under experimental conditions simulating subglacial environments
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2019)Shearing of rocks containing silicate followed by reaction with water has previously been shown to produce hydrogen under experimental conditions relevant to subglacial environments. The abiotic production of hydrogen, ... -
Urease immobilization for advancing enzyme-induced calcium carbonate precipitation applications
(Montana State University - Bozeman, Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering, 2019)Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a widely studied field of research exploiting bacterial activity to form a calcium carbonate precipitate that has been used to modify porous media. MICP is an ... -
When a lectin binds a sugar, and other sweet tales
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2019)The current state of chemotherapy and cancer treatment leaves much to be desired. Treatment is generally non-specific and relies on high dosage to achieve therapeutically relevant concentrations at target sites. Glycopolymer-drug ... -
Framing science and conservation films for wider acceptance: using social science to engage audience through their worldview and cultural cognition
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 2019)Using the work of Yale professor Dan Kahan, this thesis explores how his 'cultural cognition' theory demonstrates the ineffectiveness of communicating controversial environmental topics using the deficit model. It applies ... -
Investigation of field relevant parameters for microbially enhanced coalbed methane scale up
(Montana State University - Bozeman, Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering, 2019)Energy production from coal is projected to decline significantly over the next 30 years, due to concerns over anthropogenic carbon emissions, climate change, and cost. As coal-based energy production decreases, the demand ... -
Childhood depressive disorder symptoms: relations with two physiological indices of emotion regulation
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2019)Theoretical models of depression postulate that one's ability to regulate emotions may be a core factor in the development of depressive disorder symptoms. The present study aimed to understand how physiological measures ... -
Patellofemoral joint loading in females during back squats of varying depth, weight load, and stance width
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 2019)As a repetitive and loaded exercise, the back squat can lead to tissue injury. One concern is patellofemoral pain syndrome, a common knee diagnoses over twice as prevalent in females as in males. Patellofemoral joint stress ... -
The effect of permafrost thaw and geologic substrate on dissolved organic carbon mobilization and transformation in northern streams
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2019)Permafrost landscapes exhibit unique hydrology that is linked both chemically and physically to nutrient cycling and geochemical processes. Permafrost thaw is expected to result in a positive feedback to Earth's climate ... -
The influence of an iron deficient diet on the murine gut microbiome
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2019)Iron is an essential nutrient for mammals 1. It is involved in multiple redox reactions that are essential for the survival of most organisms 2. There are two main types of iron that are absorbed from the diet: inorganic ... -
Bacterial and archaeal community diversity in relation to organic carbon consumption and sulfate gradients in the Powder River Basin
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2019)The rate limiting step in biogenic coal bed methane production has been attributed to the predominantly recalcitrant composition of coal, making it difficult for bacteria to anaerobically break down into methanogenic ...
