Abstract Traditional macroscopic models for water flow in the vadose zone often assume local equilibrium within a representative element volume. However, under fingering flow this assumption breaks down on a macroscale involving sub‐grid figuring because local equilibrium does not hold between the fingering and non‐fingering domains.

Biological and environmental drivers of early life fawn survival in a declining pronghorn population
Pronghorn Antilocapra americana occupy only a portion of their historical range and in Oklahoma occur at the eastern edge of the species' contemporary distribution. Monitoring has suggested pronghorn populations in Oklahoma have declined in recent years.

Reflections for Biodiversity Researchers Engaging With Policy‐Science Interfaces
Abstract Researchers who wish to engage in policy processes to help address the biodiversity crisis are often hindered by fear of the potential drawbacks to doing so. The complexity of political systems, the necessity to interact with policymakers or politicians outside of the work environment, the potential professional risks that may arise from ...

Abstract Many policy issues, such as nuclear waste management, are complex and require expertise to address. In many such policy areas, decisions are made by elected officials with input largely from experts and not the public or other stakeholders. However, such top‐down approaches can create mistrust and political opposition.

Microbial activity at Yucca Mountain [PDF]
The U.S. Department of Energy is engaged in a suitability study for a potential geological repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, for the containment and storage of commercially generated spent fuel and defense high-level nuclear waste. There is growing recognition of the role that biotic factors could play in this repository, either directly through ...

Abstract Premise Understanding genetic and morphological variability helps efforts to sustain landscapes and develop effective species concepts for resolving difficult groups. To unravel puzzling relationships and range disjunctions, we applied morphometrics, phenology, phylogenetics and population genetics in Camassia species with cultural, ecological,

ZIF‐8 exhibited a synergistic effect on 2,4‐D efficacy against barnyard grass by regulation of auxin synthesis pathway, as well as the synergistic regulation of metabolic pathways involving 2,4‐D and ZIF‐8. Furthermore, the use of ZIF‐8 as a carrier could improve the safety of 2,4‐D for wheat.

The Occurrence of Erionite at Yucca Mountain [PDF]
The naturally-occurring zeolite mineral erionite has a fibrous morphology and is a known human carcinogen (inhalation hazard). Erionite has been found typically in very small quantities and restricted occurrences in the course of mineralogic characterization of Yucca Mountain as a host for a high-level nuclear waste repository. The first identification

Abstract Infrasound microbarometers deployed on the Earth's surface capture pressure fluctuations and acoustic signatures, revealing trends in surface wind speed and cycles in ambient sound. Previous studies investigated wind noise trends at quarter day resolution and urban acoustic background variations on hourly to weekly scales. Cyclic variations at
