Human impacts on Mojave Desert ecosystems
Desert ecosystems have in recent times been subjected increasingly to untested contacts with humans and their characteristic activities. Within the past 40 years there has been heavy use of desert scrub communities for recreational purposes, military testing, and construction projects, all of which have modified physical characteristics of soil and altered the composition of desert scrub vegetation and impacted animal populations. Because deserts…

Preserving the Unique Puna Ecosystems of the Andean Altiplano
Lauca National Park forms a unique area of puna and prepuna ecosystems in the high Altiplano of northeastern Chile. Its extensive puna steppe shrublands lying above 4000 m and high volcanoes reaching above 6000 m provide some of many strong justifications for its designation as a UNESCO International Biosphere Reserve in 1983. The park also contains Lago Chungará, the highest lake in the world at 4518 m elevation, and a rich variety of fauna and …
Oxidant Air Pollution Impacts in the Montane Forests of Southern California
Searching for "biodiversity" on the web produces an overwhelming amount of hits. While wetland, marine and coastal habitats, and forests are well represented, it seems that mountain ecosystems receive little attention. Some recent initiatives have been taken to preserve biodiversity in mountain environments and promote activities focusing on sustainable development and conservation. The following web sites were chosen because of their significanc…
Landscape Disturbance and Biodiversity in Mediterranean-Type Ecosystems
Ecological Communities and Processes in a Mojave Desert Ecosystem
Deserts provide a harsh and inhospitable environment for plants and animals, and the ecosystem is correspondingly fragile and prone to disruption by a variety of external factors. The Mojave Desert is a winter-rainfall desert, experiencing drought in the summer months, and occasional rain during the cooler winter months. For many years, it has attracted the attention of ecologists and conservation biologists concerned to maintain the unique statu…
