Marie : Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Applied Research and Development Branch. This book was released on 2006 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on angling diary responses, the predictive models are developed capable of assessing how various climate change scenarios may affect recreational fishing. The models are capable of assessing changes to both the availability of fishing alternatives and the attractiveness of these alternatives based on the amount, timing, and location of fishing trips by these resident northern Ontario anglers. Model utility is illustrated through a scenario whereby lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) is extirpated from waters around Thunder Bay. Model results have some important implications for estimating the impacts climate change on recreational fishing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest land managers face the challenges of preparing their forests for the impacts of climate change. However, climate change adds a new dimension to the task of developing and testing science-based management options to deal with the effects of stressors on forest ecosystems in the southern United States. The large spatial scale and complex inter

Book excerpt: Cherokees called the magnificent mountain range in eastern Tennessee "land ofthe blue mist," which European settlers later changed to "Smoky Mountains."Today, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is one of SouthernAppalachia's leading tourist attractions. But that fabled blue mist isn't so blue-- orhealthy-- any longer. Particularly in the summer months, the "smoke" of the Smokies isa haze of sulfate particles and other pollutants released by coal-burning power plants, amixture more likely to create dangerous ozone levels for visiting tourists than the invigorating "mountain air" so many come to seek.It is a story common throughout Southern Appalachia, one of America's most beautiful, biologically diverse, and fragile bioregions. A Land Imperiled is a symptom-by-symptomlook at the myriad of ecological issues threatening the health of the southernhigh country. Sections on air, water, plants and animals, food, energy, waste, transportation, and population and urbanization make this the most comprehensive environmentalstudy of Southern Appalachia to date-- a much-needed wake-up call for anyone concernedabout the region's natural legacy.But it is not just the future we have to worry about, the author asserts; pollution, development, and other forms of degradation are already affecting our quality of life. Theexcessively high ozone levels plaguing the Smokies have been connected to a host of respiratory problems, including chronic bronchitis and asthma. Once-crystal streams aregreen and sluggish with runoff from agricultural wastes. Over half of the South's naturalforests are gone, and a mere 2 percent of the remaining forests have protected status.The environment of Southern Appalachia is a collection of complex, interrelatedsystems that needs care and protection to function in full health. A Land Imperiled notonly illustrates the many ways in which the health of this bioregion is being affected, but also provides examples of how the damage can be reversed to sustain ourselves andthis natural treas

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this book focus on the themes of ethnicity, national identity and nationalism. They reinforce analyses of earlier studies in the 1960s and 1970s that communalism is a dominant manifestation of Malaysias multi-ethnic society. Communalism was and is seen as a phenomenon of every ethnic group working for its self-interest. Communalism has determined the nature and form of Malaysias nationhood and despite its negative and deleterious effects, it is central to an understanding of the emergent nationalism, politics and multiculturalism of the new Malaysian society.

Book excerpt: The eastern brook trout is the only trout (charr) species native to the eastern U.S., which contains approximately 25% of the entire native range of the brook trout and 70% of the U.S. range. Stream temperature is a fundamental limiting factor in the distribution and production of brook trout and their range is bounded to the south by a mean July air temperature of 21Ã'ÂoC. Average air temperature in the U.S. has risen by 0.6Ã'ÂoC over the last century and may increase by another 6Ã'ÂoC over the next 100 years. Climate warming may threaten the long-term survival of the brook trout populations in the southern Appalachian Mountains. Using projected future climate scenarios and land use/land cover classes, we developed ordinal and binary logistic regression models to characterize current habitat suitability of brook trout, determine future suitable habitat and prioritize subwatersheds for brook trout conservation. Explanatory variables held in common in every model were the baseline variables (either forest or agriculture), the respective baseline variable with temperature as an interaction term and wetlands. This analysis further supports temperature as a major driver in the distribution of brook trout. Projected future suitable habitat was shown to be moving further north over time. This analysis resulted in map outputs illustrating areas of greatest brook trout population subwatershed status changes and indicates potential areas of concern for brook trout survival due to projected future climate scenarios. These results can aid in prioritizing subwatersheds for brook trout conservation and restoration.
