Rising Temperatures Will Lead To Loss Of Trout Habitat In Southern Appalachians

10-05-2006 · ScienceDaily

USDA Forest Service research projects that between 53 and 97 percent of natural trout populations in the southern Appalachians could disappear due to the warmer temperatures predicted under two different global climate circulation models. In an article published Oct. 2 in the online version of the Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, Patricia Flebbe, research biologist at the FS Southern Research Station unit in Blacksburg, Va., maps out trout habitat in a future, warmer climate.

Loss of hemlocks will affect water dynamics in southern Appalachian forests
07-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
Forest Service research has provided the first estimates on the impact the loss of eastern hemlock will have on the water dynamics of the southern Appalachian mountains. In the June 2007 issue of Ecological Applications, researchers Chelcy Ford and Jim Vose from the FS Southern Research Station Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory present findings on eastern hemlock rates of transpiration from a 2-year study in western North Carolina.

Greenland's ancient forests shed light on stability of ice sheet
07-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Ice cores drilled from southern Greenland have revealed the first evidence of a surprisingly lush forest that existed in the region within the past million years. The findings from an international study published today in the journal Science suggest that the southern Greenland ice sheet may be much more stable against rising temperatures than previously thought.

Prostate cancer: Watchful wait or vaccinate?
02-01-2008 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the University of Southern California have developed a prostate cancer vaccine that prevented the development of cancer in 90 percent of young mice genetically predestined to develop the disease. In the Feb. 1 issue of Cancer Research, they suggest the same strategy might work for men with rising levels of PSA, a potential diagnostic indicator of prostate cancer

Weight loss -- not one size fits all
11-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to weight loss through exercise, says Queensland University of Technology behavioral scientist Neil King. Dr. Neil King, from QUT's Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, is the lead author of a study conducted in collaboration with the University of Leeds in the UK, which has been published in the latest edition of the International Journal of Obesity.

A step nearer to understanding superconductivity
06-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
Transporting energy without any loss, travelling in magnetically levitated trains, carrying out medical imaging (MRI) with small-scale equipment: all these things could come true if we had superconducting materials that worked at room temperature. Today, researchers at CNRS have taken another step forward on the road leading to this ultimate goal. They have revealed the metallic nature of a class of so-called critical high-temperature superconducting materials.
