  • Birds of Coniferous Forest on Mount Graham, Arizona
    Wilson Bull., 107(4), 1995, pp. 719-723 SHORT COMMUNICATIONS Birds of coniferous forest on Mount Graham, Arizona.-Because of interest in the effect upon the biota of Mount Graham by current development for astronomy, I repeated observations and censuses made there forty years ago. Avifaunal changes have occurred. Unlike my companion study in the Sierra Nevada (Marshall 1988), the losses at Mount Graham of nesting species-all at the lower altitudinal limit of Pinus Zeiophylla chihuahuana and P. ponderosa arizonica-lack an obvious connection to human interference with the environment. Study area.-Mount Graham, in southeastern Arizona, is capped with old growth Engel- mann spruce and alpine fir from 3000 m to the summit at 3267 m. This boreal forest of 8 km* is at its southernmost limits on the North American continent. Descending, one passes through other vegetation zones in sequence: Douglas firs and white firs mixed with spruce, and then mixed with Mexican white pines; south slopes of New Mexican locust and Gambel oak; ponderosa pine with Gambel oak, ponderosa pine mixed with silver-leaf oak; and finally Chihuahua pine with Arizona oak (Martin and Fletcher 1943, Hoffmeister 1956, Marshall 1957, Mohlenbrock 1987). From memory, notes, and photographs I detect no change in vegetation during the forty-year study period. Specifically, the trees at the mapped census area in Wet Canyon (Fig. 1) have not closed ranks about the little openings suitable for those foothill birds that forage among grasses, boulders, manzanitas, and nolinas. The mesic luxuriance of Mount Graham’s vegetation is shown by running streams sup- porting tall groves of maples, by the enormous Douglas firs that remain, by the profusion of understory flowers and green forbs, and by the gigantic stature of clear-trunked alders dominating Wet Canyon.

  • Southern Arizona, United States of America
    Southern Arizona, United States of America 2 – ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS Assessment and recommendations Southern Arizona region: from a resource-based economy to a knowledge-based economy Southern Arizona is the southern-most part of the state of Arizona in the United States. bordering the Mexican state of Sonora, with a multi-cultural heritage and a major gateway for trade with Mexico. The vast desert region consists of Pima County, Cochise County and Santa Cruz County, and has a population of approximately 1.2 million, accounting for 18% of the state population. The engine of the region’s development is the Tucson metropolitan area, the second largest metropolitan area in the state, just behind the Phoenix metropolitan area. About 23% of the land in Southern Arizona is owned by Native Americans, Tohono O’odham and Pascua Yaqui Nations, who continue to feature low education, labour market and health outcomes. Population growth is a major strength in the region, an opportunity for many industry sectors, but at the same time it poses cultural, economic and political challenges. Since World War II, Arizona has had one of the fastest growing populations in the United States. Between 1990 and 2000, Arizona experienced a 40.0% population increase which slowed down to 26.7% between 2000 and 2008. In Southern Arizona, the corresponding figures were 26.0% and 18.4%. Arizona has the fastest growing Hispanic population in the US, comprising about 25% of the state population and 27% of that of Southern Arizona. In Tucson, 40% of the residents identify themselves as Hispanic, while in Santa Cruz the majority of population are Hispanic.

    Biosphere 2 (B2) PI: Katerina Dontsova, PhD Co-PI: Kevin Bonine, PhD Sponsors: National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF REU) Program BIOSPHERE 2 (B2) Kierstin Acuña The effect of nanochitosan on piñon pine (Pinus edulis) seedling mortality in heatwave conditions University of Maryland, Environmental Science and Policy Mentor: Dr. Dave Breshears, Jason Field and Darin Law – School of Natural Resources and the Environment Abstract Semiarid grasslands worldwide are facing woody plant encroachment, a process that dramatically alters carbon and nutrient cycling. This change in plant types can influence the function of soil microbial communities with unknown consequences for soil carbon cycling and storage. We used soils collected from a five-year passive warming experiment in Southern, AZ to test the effects of warming and substrate availability on microbial carbon use. We hypothesized that substrate addition would increase the diversity of microbial substrate use, and that substrate additions and warming would increase carbon acquisition, creating a positive feedback on carbon mineralization. Community Level Physiological Profiling (CLPP) of microbial activity was conducted using Biolog EcoPlateTMassays from soils collected in July 2018, one week after the start of monsoon rains. Two soil types common to Southern AZ, were amended with one of four treatments (surface juniper wood chips, juniper wood chips incorporated into the soil, surface biochar, or a no-amendment control) and were randomly assigned to a warmed or ambient temperature treatment. We found that surface wood chips resulted in the highest richness and diversity of carbon substrate use with control soils yielding the lowest. Substrate use was positively correlated with the total organic carbon but not with warming.

  • Biosphere 2 Outreach Scholars Green Fund Proposal, January 2016 Kevin Bonine, Director of Education & Outreach, Biosphere 2 [email protected] 520-621-0232
    Biosphere 2 Outreach Scholars Green Fund Proposal, January 2016 Kevin Bonine, Director of Education & Outreach, Biosphere 2 [email protected] 520-621-0232 Poster symposium & certificate ceremony at Biosphere 2 Summer Science Academy. Note young students in blue shirts presenting their results and proud UA student Outreach Scholars in red shirts. PROPOSAL OVERVIEW Abstract Biosphere 2 Outreach Scholars are the reason the Biosphere 2 Summer Science Academy has been so successful in its first two years. By supporting these UA students, who serve as role-models and mentors for 80-90 middle and high school students, we are taking an important step in providing the educational base necessary for sustainable, evidence-based decisions in all facets of society. UA students will apply to be chosen as Green Fund–supported Outreach Scholars, receive intensive training and a $1,000 stipend for their time in residence at Biosphere 2 in summer 2016, and become better able to navigate the important intersection where science and education meet. This intersection is how sustainability can be realistically pursued and achieved in the future. The UA Green Fund Outreach Scholars will facilitate research experiences, collaboration skills, and leadership development of middle and high school students. Along the way, the scholars will expand their knowledge and capacity in these areas and perhaps pursue scientist-educator as a career path or be inspired to put their scientific training toward solving society’s grand challenges. Project Narrative “It was the most amazing week of my life.” -Biosphere 2 Summer Science Academy Participant The key to a sustainable future is effective education and evidence-based decision making.
