Restoration of Upland Forest Using Experimental Fencing Systems To Protect Seedlings From Deer Browse

800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This project involved creating a four-acre experimental area for testing the efficacy of short fences (arranged strategically around seedling planting areas) to improve seedling growth and survivorship. Funded by: Point…

Evaluating Threats to Humans and Aquatic Ecosystems Posed by Agriculture Around the Río Sierpe, Costa Rica

800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

Stroud Water Research Center biologists completed a project to better understand the threat of contaminants from agriculture entering the fish and drinking water supplies around the Río Sierpe and Río…

Fish Dispersal Across a Riparian Habitat Gradient

800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

Stream fish appear largely immune from physical, chemical, and biological changes between meadow and forested habitats. A study in which fish were tagged and recaptured was initiated to measure fish…

The Snail the Dinosaurs Saw or an Introduced Species? Using Genetic Data to Untangle the History of a Snail That Is New to Pennsylvania

800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

The snail Goniobasis proxima has never been observed north of the James River in Virginia until discovered by Stroud Water Research Center biologists in three locations in southeastern Pennsylvania. Genetic…

Testing a Proxy of Historical Nutrient Status Using Diatom-Bound Nitrogen Isotopes

800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

Climate science relies on interpreting proxies of past environmental conditions in dated sediment and ice cores. Our study will develop a rapid approach to analyzing the stable isotopes of proteins…

The First Assessment of Congo River Organic Matter Chemistry and Reactivity

800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

The Congo River is the second largest river in the world, but little is known about it because regional conflict has made its study logistically difficult. Funded by: Stroud Water…
