The Court declared that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has the authority to regulate emissions from new cars and trucks under the landmark environment law. Many chemical compounds found in the Earth’s atmosphere act as “greenhouse gases.” These gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere freely. When sunlight strikes the Earth’s surface, some of it is reflected back towards space as infrared radiation (heat). Greenhouse gases absorb this infrared radiation and trap the heat in the atmosphere. Over time, the trapped heat results in the phenomenon of global warming. Many gases exhibit these “greenhouse” properties. The sources of the majority of greenhouse gases come mostly from natural sources but are also contributed to by human activity and are shown in Figure F-1. It is not possible to state that a specific gas causes a certain percentage of the greenhouse effect because the influences of the various gases are not additive. Source: Energy Information Administration 2003 Figure F-1. Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Burning of Gas (Million Metric Tons of Carbon Equivalent) Figure F-2 displays the annual greenhouse gas emissions by sector in the United States. Most government agencies and military installations are just beginning to establish a baseline for their operations and their impact on the greenhouse effect. Since the USEPA has not promulgated an ambient standard or de minimis level for CO2 emissions for Federal actions, there is no standard value to compare an action against F-1 BW1 FOIA CBP 001518 in terms of meeting or violating the standard. Hence, we shall attempt to establish the effects on air quality as a result of the amount of CO2 produced by the Federal action and what could be done to minimize the impact of these emissions.

S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (Service) biological opinion (Opinion) in accordance with section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), regarding the issuance of an amendment to the incidental take permit (ITP) for the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) County of San Diego (County) Subarea Plan (Subarea Plan) for Otay Ranch Village 14 and Planning Areas 16 and 19 (Project) pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act. The Service issued the Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit (PRT-840414) to the County for their Subarea Plan on March 17, 1998. The permit duration is for 50 years. The County is requesting the Amendment to change the footprint of the Project, as well as add incidental take coverage for the federally endangered Quino checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas editha quino; QCB) and San Diego fairy shrimp (Branchinecta sandiegonensis; SDFS). The MSCP is a comprehensive, 50-year habitat conservation plan program that addresses urban development and the needs of 85 covered species and the preservation of natural vegetation communities within a 582,243-acre planning area in southwest San Diego County (City of San Diego 1998).

Tecate cypress (Cupressus forbesii) is a rare endemic species restricted to several locations in southern California and northern Baja California. The northern most population of Tecate cypress occurs in the Santa Ana Mountains within the NCCP/HCP Central Reserve and receives regulatory coverage under the Plan. This population is threatened by too frequent wildfire. The Nature Reserve of Orange County (NROC) oversees monitoring and management of species within the NCCP/HCP and formed the Tecate Cypress Management Committee (TCMC) to develop a management plan for this species. The committee is composed of land owners, land managers and regulatory agencies with an interest in conserving Tecate cypress in the NCCP/HCP. This management plan was developed by NROC based upon the work of researchers from UC Berkeley and input from the TCMC. The objectives of this management plan included determining the current distribution and demographic structure of the Santa Ana Mountains Tecate cypress population and using this data in ecological models to assess threats to persistence and to identify restoration sites for enhancing the population.

  • Kumeyaay Cultural Landscapes of Baja California's Tijuana River
    Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology | Vol. 28, No. 2 (2008) | pp. 127–151 Kumeyaay Cultural Landscapes of Baja California’s Tijuana River Watershed LYNN H. GAMBLE MICHAEL WILKEN-ROBERTSON Department of Anthropology, San Diego State University, 5500 Campanile Drive, San Diego, CA 92182 The cultural landscape of the Kumeyaay living in the Tijuana River Watershed of Baja California embodies the sacred, symbolic, economic, and mythological views of a people who have lived in the region for centuries. Recent research on this region that integrates ethnographic, ethnohistorical, and (to a lesser degree) archaeological information reveals a landscape that is alive and imbued with power, sustenance, and legend—a dynamic construct that reflects both changing Kumeyaay relationships with the land and the group’s continuity with the past. Sacred sites, peaks, transformed rocks, magic boulders, and other geographic features associated with oral traditions populate the landscape. Ecosystems and areas of historic significance represent direct links with generations of ancestors and are still layered with meaning in the minds of descendants. For us the mountains, the rocks, the trees: all this is something important. As my grandfather used to say, this ground is the floor for your feet, the rocks and hills are your walls, the sky is your roof and the sun your light1 [Josefina López Meza, personal communication 2004]. ultural landscapes are an elusive topic All individuals and communities, not just the C for archaeologists, especially those who work in Kumeyaay, give symbolic meanings to the places they regions of the Californias and the Great Basin where inhabit: monumental architecture is rare or non-existent.

    The California Botanical Society’s 28th Annual Graduate Student Symposium Friday – April 30 9:00 - 9:15 am Welcome and Schedule overview 9:15 - 10:00 am Session 1 : Pathogens and Invasives Eduardo Luis Cruz Attack of the Clones: Using transcriptomics to investigate the invasion success of Carpobrotus edulis Transcriptomics utilizes RNA sequences to get a snapshot of genetic expression. This is a powerful tool in non-model species lacking a reference genome. Thus, the application of comparative transcriptomics has the potential to help us elucidate the evolutionary mechanisms that facilitate species invasion. Carpobrotus edulis is an invasive stoloniferous succulent plant belonging to the Aizoaceae family native to South Africa. We leveraged the use of RNAseq to investigate evolutionary changes in the highly invasive species, constructing a de novo transcriptome and performing a differential expression analysis between native and invasive populations. Our goal was to determine what evolutionary changes have occurred between invasive and native populations that might help us explain its highly invasive behavior. RNA-seq data was gathered from experimental native and invasive populations tested under stress conditions and used to assemble a de novo transcriptome. Altogether, we provide the first annotated transcriptome for the plant genus Carpobrotus and the Aizoaceae family. A preliminary differential expression analysis identified several differentially expressed transcripts between native and invasive populations. GO enrichment revealed five categories significantly enriched in the native group; two categories were involved in flower development and three were involved in stress-related metabolic functions. Invasive populations showed no increases in these stress response categories and showed decreased expression in genes relating to protection and defense.
