From December 24, 2009 to January 4, 2010, we conducted a nationally representative survey of American adults (n = 1,001) to assess shifts in public climate change beliefs, risk perceptions, policy preferences, and behaviors, and the impact of Climategate on public opinion.
Here we present a stratigraphy of peatland carbon stocks and accumulation through the peat profile in a tropical ombrotrophic wetland and assess shifts in vegetation inputs and organic matter degradation using n-alkane distributions and Rock-Eval 6 pyrolysis.
The emphasis of fall surveys in the Beaufort Sea was to conduct broad-scale surveys to assess shifts in the migration pathway of bowhead whales, and to coordinate effort and manage data necessary to support seasonal offshore drilling and seismic exploration regulations.
However, it would require much richer datasets to quantify differences among the shifts of various minerals and to assess shifts in the ionomes of individual species.
These were then filtered for specific words in the titles and/or abstracts to assess shifts in publication and research trends.
A synthetic population, generated from four parental lines comprising both high and low WSC genotypes, was subjected to successive rounds of selection on the basis of early spring WSC content followed by recombination, and the candidate gene loci analysed in order to assess shifts in allele frequency and thereby associate phenotype with genotype.
Barton J, Costa G, Smith L, Spelten E, Totterdell P, Folkard S. The Standard Shift work Index: a battery of questionnaires for assessing shift work-related problems.
As the present study assessed shift work tolerance specifically for different shifts, comparisons with other studies cannot be conducted without some reservations.
Simultaneously assessing shifts in microbial community composition along landscape and depth gradients allows us to decouple correlations among environmental variables, thus revealing underlying controls on microbial community composition.
For 13 years, we assessed shifts in the successional trajectory and ecosystem flammability by changes in: species composition, species richness, ecosystem evenness, the natural colonization of resprouting species, total biomass and proportion of dead biomass.
