Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mono Basin is a closed hydrologic basin spanning the border between California and Nevada. Los Angeles has been diverting streams since 1941 that normally would flow into Mono Lake. It has been predicted that continued diversion will have major ecological consequences for the natural resources of the Mono Basin National Forest Scenic Area. This book studies the ecological risk assessment that considers the effects of water diversions on an inland saline lake. It examines the hydrology of the Mono Basin, investigates the lake's physical and chemical systems, studies the biological relationships, and predicts the effects of changes in lake levels on the ecosystem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long-anticipated reference and sourcebook for CaliforniaÕs remarkable ecological abundance provides an integrated assessment of each major ecosystem typeÑits distribution, structure, function, and management. A comprehensive synthesis of our knowledge about this biologically diverse state, Ecosystems of California covers the state from oceans to mountaintops using multiple lenses: past and present, flora and fauna, aquatic and terrestrial, natural and managed. Each chapter evaluates natural processes for a specific ecosystem, describes drivers of change, and discusses how that ecosystem may be altered in the future. This book also explores the drivers of CaliforniaÕs ecological patterns and the history of the stateÕs various ecosystems, outlining how the challenges of climate change and invasive species and opportunities for regulation and stewardship could potentially affect the stateÕs ecosystems. The text explicitly incorporates both human impacts and conservation and restoration efforts and shows how ecosystems support human well-being. Edited by two esteemed ecosystem ecologists and with overviews by leading experts on each ecosystem, this definitive work will be indispensable for natural resource management and conservation professionals as well as for undergraduate or graduate students of CaliforniaÕs environment and curious naturalists.

Book excerpt: "Walton first uses his magnifying glass to capture images of struggle in a California valley during a century and a half of transformation, then inverts it to scrutinize the American state, popular politics, and collective action in general. The maneuver is bold, the outcome stimulating."—Charles Tilly, New School for Social Research "A passionate and first rate historical adventure.

Download or read book Magnificent Majestic Mono Lake written by Andrew Smith and published by . This book was released on 2022-02 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnificent Majestic Mono Lake is an entertaining introduction to the eastern Sierra's Mono Lake and its basin, perfect for visitors and residents alike who want to quickly acquaint themselves with Mono Lake and its environs. Vibrant full-page color illustrations capture the beauty of Mono Lake, its surroundings, and the fascinating ecology and behavior of its wildlife. Each chapter is about two pages long, jargon-free, and scientifically up-to-date.The introductory chapters explain the formation of ancient Lake Russell, now called Mono Lake, and how local geology-volcanoes, cold water springs, and the rushing snowmelt streams from the Sierra Nevada Mountains-all contributed to the Mono Lake we know today. Next up are chapters about Mono Lake's simple ecosystem, consisting of trillions of brine shrimp and alkali flies, followed by species accounts of the breeding and migrating birds that stop at Mono Lake in the millions to fatten up on this banquet of tasty microorganisms.The high Great Basin Desert surrounding Mono Lake can be hot in summer and brutally cold in winter, and the ways in which animal and plant inhabitants have adapted to its variable climate, infrequent rainfall, and volcanic soils make for engaging natural history stories. The authors, Andrew and Harriet Smith, are superb storytellers and regale you with the fascinating life histories of many of the unusual species that thrive in Mono Lake or its basin. Examples include eared grebes that gorge on brine shrimp; slinky long-tailed weasels; fishing hawks (called ospreys) that commute to freshwater lakes to catch fish for their nestlings; and forests of golden-leafed aspen trees that are actually part of one giant organism rather than thousands of individual trees.The book ends with the triumphant story of how the Mono Lake ecosystem was saved from extinction by an intrepid band of students and conservationists who recognized its ecological value. Mono Lake easily could have become one more toxic, windswept, sand playa, but instead, it teems with life. Vigilance is still necessary in light of lingering threats to Mono Lake, such as invasive species, and those that might emerge or worsen in the future, like climate change.
