Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This highly synthetic and scholarly work brings together new and important scientific contributions by leading experts on a rich diversity of topics concerning the history, ecology, and conservation of California's endangered grasslands. The editors and authors have succeeded admirably in drawing from a great wealth of recent research to produce a widely accessible and compelling, state-of-the-art treatment of this fascinating subject. Anyone interested in Californian biodiversity or grassland ecosystems in general will find this book to be an invaluable resource and a major inspiration for further research, management, and restoration efforts."—Bruce G. Baldwin, W. L. Jepson Professor and Curator, UC Berkeley "Grasses and grasslands are among the most important elements of the California landscape. This is their book, embodying the kind of integrated view needed for all ecological communities in California. Approaches ranging across an incredibly broad spectrum -- paleontology and human history; basic science and practical management techniques; systematics, community ecology, physiology, and genetics; physical factors such as water, soil nutrients, atmospherics, and fire; biological factors such as competition, symbiosis, and grazing -- are nicely tied together due to careful editorial work. This is an indispensable reference for everyone interested in the California environment."—Brent Mishler, Director of the University & Jepson Herbaria and Professor of Integrative Biology, UC Berkeley "The structure and function of California grasslands have intrigued ecologists for decades. The editors of this volume have assembled a comprehensive set of reviews by a group of outstanding authors on the natural history, structure, management, and restoration of this economically and ecologically important ecosystem."—Scott L. Collins, Professor of Biology, University of New Mexico

Download or read book Hydropedology and Hydrologic Connectivity of an Oak woodland Hillslope in the Northern Sierra Foothills of California written by Katelin Alldritt and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydropedology is the study of how soil morphology and stratigraphy influence hydrologic processes, which is particularly relevant at the hillslope scale, where soil stratigraphy and spatial variability can exert first-order control on the hydrologic flowpaths. Understanding soil stratigraphy and its influence on hydrologic connectivity and streamflow generation has implications for water resource sustainability, water quality and other ecosystem services. An oak-woodland research catchment in the Sierra Foothills provided a unique opportunity to investigate the relationships between soil stratigraphy and hydrologic connectivity. Within the research catchment a hillslope was instrumented for hydrologic monitoring between February and June in 2012. Once dry, the hillslope was trenched, surveyed and sampled. The hydrologic monitoring data and soil characterization data from the trench were combined to constrain a 2D hydrologic model of the hillslope. The objectives of the hillslope study were to 1) identify and characterize hydrologically significant soil properties; 2) explore how soil stratigraphy and morphology influence hydrologic connectivity; and 3) examine potential causes for connection and disconnection of hydrologic flowpaths during and between rain storm events. What we found was a very complex story. The hillslope stratigraphy consisted of a homogeneous and continuous permeable surface horizon, a continuous but variable subsurface transition soil zone, and a discontinuous impermeable claypan. The trench also revealed highly variable weathered bedrock and irregular surface topography of the hard bedrock. Our field measurements and model results were consistent in demonstrating that both the claypan and bedrock topography are important factors in hillslope hydrology and hydrologic connectivity with respect to streamflow dynamics. The primary hydrologic flowpath feeding peak streamflows was found to be rapid subsurface lateral flow in the permeable surface horizon. Further investigation on the hydrologic role of the varied weathered bedrock would greatly improve our understanding of hillslope and catchment scale hydrology in the Northern Sierra Foothills.
