Abstract:
... Assessments of environmental impacts are being subject to greater scientific and legal scrutiny than ever before. The application of traditional statistical decision‐making criteria to questions of environmental impacts has become increasingly inadequate as society demands greater environmental accountability from economic development. In particular, impact assessment has inherited a preoccupation ...

... Socialism can be looked upon as a fourth potential strategy for avoiding Garrett Hardin's "tragedy of the commons." The other three are social pressure, regulations, and division of the resource into private sections. In theory, having a common resource used exclusively by a community, rather than by private parties, eliminates the personal profit motive, thereby opening up possibilities for more ...

Non-salvaged windthrown trees provide bark beetle habitat, increase fuel loading, and limit the mobility of wildlife and recreationists. Freshly exposed stand edges and recently partially cut stands are particularly prone to wind damage. Windthrow results fro ...

Patches of mussels facing high mortality may show no change in percent cover (i.e., dominance) as long as growth by the remaining survivors can fill in the vacant space. A graphical model is developed to examine the possibility that growth may ameliorate the effects of predation and physical dist ...

Abstract:
... We compared the effects of plant genotype and local environment on population densities of a community of coastal insect herbivores in west central Florida. Reciprocal transplants of four genotypes of three species of coastal plants, Borrichia frutescens, Iva frutescens and imbricata, were made in July 1992 between a series of off-shore islands. For each plant species, phytophagous insects with a ...

Abstract:
... Apterous adult and nymphal Rhopalosiphum padi (L.), previously reared on plants infected with barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV), were subjected to eight perturbations (wind, rain, herbicide, coccinellid predators, crowding, mechanical disturbance, drought, and virus-infected plants) to determine effects on aphid dispersal and pattern of local spread of BYDV to oats in greenhouse experiments. Viruli ...

Abstract:
... The United States has a long history of using or threatening import restrictions against other countries to gain their adherence to conservation measures. While these import restrictions are of questionable GATT-legality, the history of the 13 such current pieces of legislation suggests that they are not simply industry efforts to gain protection from foreign competition. As with other U.S. intern ...

Abstract:
... Sustainable development and mining recovery are two objectives of the Bolivian government today. These objectives, however, cancel one another out when they are combined with the Bolivian privatization plan. We illustrate this phenomenon by analyzing how the government managed a case in which antimony concentrates were denounced as hazardous in July of 1994. From the facts of this case, wefound th ...
