Au: Milham, N. Ti: An analysis of farmers' incentives to conserve or degrade the land. So: Journal of Environmental Management; 40(1):51-64, Jan. 1994. Ab: In this paper it is argued that an increased understanding of the linkages between farmers' economic incentives to control soil degradation, degradation-induced productivity decline and future farmland productivity is essential for the formulation of effective land degradation and soil management policies. As a basis for the argument, a comprehensive farm-level economic model for the optimum private and social utilization of soil over time is developed. Complexities in the decision due to environmental conditions and other uncertainties are considered. It is shown that, if farmers are well informed, they will tolerate soil degradation only to the point where the marginal net returns from depleting soil depth, fertility or structure equal the marginal profits foregone from conserving these productive aspects of the soil. Efficiency-related technical progress is found to provide incentives for reduced rates of soil degradation. It is also found that the optimum private rate of soil degradation is not likely to mimic the socially optimal rate unless capital markets and farm input and output markets operate efficiently and competitively. The potential for monetary and fiscal policy to impact on private rates of soil utilization is highlighted as a topic for further detailed investigation. Finally, it is argued that external costs and benefits from farming activity, which have not as yet been comprehensively quantified, may be the single most important cause of any differential between the optimum private and social rates of soil degradation.

Ab: Statistics and periodicities in the April-May-June rainfall were investigated. The rainfall was more intensive in May than in April and June. April rainfall had longer periodicities than June, with May falling in between. Some of the April periodicities can be correlated to the solar activity during the westerly phase of the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) at 15 mb. A partial explanation is offered in terms of the coincidence of cold fronts and increased solar radiation. The possible association of one of the May periodicities with the occurrence of El Nino was investigated and an association between heavy rainfall (over 300 mm) in May and the occurrence of El Nino was found. Other periodicities are discussed. The April showers of 1993 are explained in terms of abnormally cold weather in North America and the May rainfall of 1993 is associated with a mature phase of the El Nino.

Ab: Coconut var. Malayan Dwarf has been reported to be susceptible to wind damage. The damage to selfed and outcrossed Malayan Dwarf, grown in field experiments at different sites in Jamaica, which resulted from the passage of Hurricane Gilbert in 1988, was assessed quantitatively. Selfed Malayan Dwarf suffered higher mortality than the outcrosses tested. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. ID: 1554 Au: Boose, Emery R; Foster, David R; Fluet, Marcheterre. Ti: Hurricane impacts to tropical and temperate forest landscapes. So: Ecological Monographs; 64(1):369-400, Nov. 1994. Ab: Hurricanes represent an important natural disturbance process to tropical and temperate forests in many coastal areas of the world. The complex patterns of damage created in forests by hurricane winds result from the interaction of meteorological, physiographic and biotic factors on a range of spatial scales. To improve our understanding of these factors and of the role of catastrophic hurricane wind a disturbance process, we take an integrative approach. A simple meteorological model (HURRECON) utilizes meteorological data to reconstruct wind conditions at specific sites and regional gradients in wind speed and direction during a hurricane. A simple topographic exposure model (EXPOS) utilizes wind direction predicted by HURRRECON and a digital elevation may estimate landscape-level exposure to the strongest winds. Actual damage to forest stands is assessed through analysis of remotely sensed, historical and field data These techniques were used to evaluate the characteristics and impacts of two important hurricanes; Hurricane Hugo (1989) in Puerto Rico and the 1938 New England Hurricane, storms of comparable magnitude in regions that differ greatly in climate, vegetation, physiograpahy, and disturbance regimes. In both cases patterns of damage on a regional scale were found to agree with the predicted distribution of peak wind gust velocities. On a landscape scale there was also good agreement between patterns of forest damage and predicted exposure in the Luquillo Experimental Forest in Puerto Rico and the town of Petersham, Massachusetts. At the Harvard and Pisgah Forests in Central New England the average orientation of wind-thrown trees was very close to the predicted peak wind direction, while at Luquillo there was also good agreement, with some apparent modification of wind direction by the mountainous terrain. At Harvard Forest there was evidence that trees more susceptible to windthrow were felled earlier in the storm. This approach may be used to study the effects of topography on wind direction and the relation of forest damage to wind speed and duration; to establish broad-scale gradients of hurricane frequency, intensity, and wind direction for particular regions; and to determine landscape-level exposure to long-term hurricane disturbance at particular sites.

Ti: Responses of tree species to hurricane winds in subtropical wet forest in Puerto Rico: implications for tropical tree life histories. So: Journal of Ecology; 82(4):911-22, 1994. Ab: The study revealed significant differences among tree species in the degree and type of damage suffered during a hurricane and in the ability to recover from damage and resume a position in the forest canopy. Nonpioneers dominate early in recovery because of the ability to survive a storm and sprout new branches following the storm, while the immediate impact of a hurricane on the abundance of pioneer species is strongly negative.

Ab: Forests in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica were damaged by Hurricane Gilbert which passed over the island on 12 September, 1988. In plots between 1300-1900 m, recorded 5-41 months after the hurricane, most stems (61.4// of 4949 living stems) and most species (44 of 47 common species) had sprouts. Comparing species, percent of stems sprouting ranged from 0 to 100 percent. Broken stems sprouted proportionately more than intact stems; completely defoliated stems sprouted proportionately more than those not completely defoliated; there was no difference between uprooted and upright stems; and stems 10 cm d.b.h. sprouted more frequently and produced more sprouts per stem, than those 10 cm d.b.h. Sixteen of 27 species had sprouts before the hurricane and these sprouts grew more rapidly in height after the hurricane. Of the species with d30 sprouting stems, four sprouted more from below 2.5 m, five more from above 2.5 m and five had sprouts evenly distributed. For all species combined, approximately equal numbers of stems fell into each of these three categories. Survivorship up to 41 months after the hurricane was higher in stems with sprouts than those without. There was no simple relationship between the frequency of sprouting of species and microenvironments where seed germination and seedling establishments have been recorded. However, eight common species which have rarely been observed to germinate or establish (in a wide range of conditions) had high frequencies of sprouting. We propose that sprouting is an important mechanism by which many species maintain their presence in these forests. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. ID: 1558 Au: Besson, Pascale; Poirier, Jean-Paul. Ti: The 3100 BP eruption of the Soufriere of Guadeloupe: a transmission electron microscopy study of the cryptodome and site. So: Bulletin of Volcanology; 56(3):184-92, August 1994. Ab: Fragments of unaltered andesite found at all levels in the deposits of the catastrophic flank-failure, directed-blast eruption of the Soufriere of Guadeloupe in 3100 BP are thought to be remnants of the cryptodome. They were observed in analytical transmission electron microscopy for clues to the evolution of the intrusion prior to the eruption. Several features that could potentially be used as temperature markers were identified, among which the angle between microexsolutions of magnetite in augite phenocrysts was used to find an upper boundary of the temperature of the intrusion before the eruption: 600-70o C. Calculation of the time a dyke or sphere-shaped intrusion may have taken to cool from the emplacement temperature down to the temperature of exsolution of the magnetite leads to an estimate of the time between emplacement of the intrusion and the eruption, which could not have been less than a few tens of years. It therefore seems probable that the emplacement of the magmatic intrusion was not the immediate cause of the flank destabilization and catastrophic eruption of the Soufriere in 3100 BP.

Ab: The floristics and nutrient relations of the vegetation on landslides 15 yr old and 50 yr old were studied in a montane rain forest. A total of 33 species were recorded on the 15 yr-old sites and d50 species on the 50-yr-old sites. The dominant woody species on all sites was Clethra occidentalis: fast-growing pioneer species characteristic of the forest edge were generally absent. Vegetation development on these sites was slow. On the 15-yr-old sites almost all individual were 1 m in stem length, and on older landslides all individuals were 5 m in stem length. For 15-yr-old sites, harvested aboveground biomass ranged between 350 and 820 g/m2, 79 percent of which was accounted for by a nitrogen-fixing lichen. On the oldest landslides, biomass ranged between 970 and 4690 g/m2 and was accounted for primarily by woody plants. Foliar concentrations of N, P, K, and Ca all increased (P0.01, data for all species combined) from the 15-yr-old to the older sites. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

Geological and biological evolution of the Caribbean Region: a 60th birthday celebration in honour of Professor Edward Robinson: tributes, programme & abstracts. Kingston, University of the West Indies (Mona), 1994. Ab: Landslides, together with floods, have caused more recurrent economic losses and social hardships in the Rio Minho watershed than any other natural hazard. This trend will continue as new developments encroach on potentially unstable slopes. Past damage indicates the need for a systematic assessment of the landslide hazard that exists in the region. Land-use planning in the watershed has not taken into account the constraints imposed by landslide processes. A landslide hazard zonation map of the Rio Minho watershed has been prepared on a scale of 1.30,000 using the techniques of factor analysis and non-hierarchical cluster analysis. The landslide hazard map divides the watershed into four sub-areas according to the relative potential of hazard from landslides. This map is well-suited to the needs of regional land-use planners. In order to test the reliability of our hazard zonation, we monitored the incidence of landslides in the Rio Minho watershed during the years 1991-1993, especially those generated by the storm event of May 1991; this was the most significant event as far as slope failures were concerned. It was observed that, during the 1991 event, the landslides were widespread within the areas mapped as zones of moderate to high susceptibility. The occurrences of landslide landforms in the study area are profoundly influenced by geology and structure. An average 24 hour rainfall in excess of 300mm was established as an estimated threshold value sufficient to initiate widespread landslide activity. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

Geological and biological evolution of the Caribbean region: a 60th birthday celebration in honour of Professor Edward Robinson: tributes, programme & abstracts. Kingston, University of the West Indies (Mona), 1994. Ab: Detailed geological and structural mapping in the Above Rocks Inlier during 1988-1990 has yielded new data which permit significant revision of the existing Jamaican 1:50,000 geological sheets #22 and #25. Our revised map of the inlier has been compiled at a scale of 1:12,500. The stratigraphic nomenclature of sheets #22 and #25 has been retained, while outcrop boundaries have been modified and lithological data added. Among the primary modifications are the recognition of lithological variations within formations; the structural database (with respect to joints, faults, mylonite zones, lineations, foliations, orientations of bedding and kinematic indicators) has been expanded; and alteration/mineralization zones have been mapped, noting the types and modes of occurrence of sulphide minerals. Some of the results and interpretations are:- (1) the contact between the Mount Charles Formation and the overlying Border Volcanic Formation may be conformable. (2) The Border Volcanic Formation was intruded by the Above Rocks granitoid. (3) The Above Rocks granitoid is compositionally zoned. (4) The trace of the E-W trending Cavaliers' Fault appears to follow part of the southern boundary of the inlier. (5) Tertiary limestone outliers and outcrops along the southern border of the inlier are reinterpreted as landslide deposits. (6) The southern and western margins of the inlier appear to be major faults. (7) The maximum length of dykes is about 300 m. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. Yüklə 2,03 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
