Forest nurseries face critical choices with the loss of methyl bromide...
Integrated pest management approaches can help compensate for the loss of methyl bromide, but converting to container production may be the best option. |
|
Forest biomass diversion in the Sierra Nevada: Energy, economics and e...
In this case study, converting forest wastes to electricity had energy and emissions benefits but was not economically viable. |
|
Mapping forests with Lidar provides flexible, accurate data with many ...
The powerful mapping capabilities of Lidar soon may be widely available to California forest managers as costs fall and the technology improves. |
|
Clean Development Mechanism agricultural methodologies could help Cali...
An international cap-and-trade program — the Clean Development Mechanism — has attracted investments in projects to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, developing methodologies that California could use.

Income value of private amenities assessed in California oak woodlands
In a survey, landowners were asked to place a monetary value on amenities using a contingent valuation method; willingness to maintain amenity values did not require a large property. |

Soil type, crop and irrigation technique affect nitrogen leaching to g...
Best management practices are proposed as being more effective and economical than tracking and reporting regulations for reducing the N load to groundwater. |
|
Post-fire vegetation dynamics of a sagebrush steppe community change s...
Nearly 30 years after a burn at two sites in northeastern California, sagebrush had recovered fully and invasive grasses had diminished. |

Totally impermeable film (TIF) reduces emissions in perennial crop fum...
Three field trials make a case for TIF use in preplant fumigation of perennial crops. |
|
Fumigant emission reductions with TIF warrant regulatory changes
Increasing the standard tarping period from 5 days to 10 days reduced peak and total emissions significantly in a 2011 trial. |
|
Introducing cattle grazing to a noxious weed-dominated rangeland shift...
Pasture-scale tests of prescribed grazing did not reduce yellow starthistle, but did reduce medusahead in years without late-spring rainfall. |
|
Californians must learn from the past and work together to meet the fo...

Soil sampling protocol reliably estimates preplant NO3...
Taking two or three cores in a few beds produces a reliable nutrient assessment that could avoid nitrogen surpluses and groundwater pollution. |
|
Chloride levels increase after 13 years of recycled water use in the S...
At half the test sites receiving recycled water since 1998, chloride levels exceeded the thresholds for chloride-sensitive crops such as strawberries. |
