Mitigating Ammonia Deposition Derived from Open-Lot Livestock Facilities into Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park: State of the Science by Carolina B. Brandani, Myeongseong Lee, Brent W. Auvermann, David B. Parker, Kenneth D. Casey, Erik T. Crosman, Vinícius N. Gouvêa, Matthew R. Beck, K. Jack Bush, Jacek A. Koziel, Bryan Shaw, David Brauer

“…Northeast Colorado’s livestock operations have been identified as a major contributor to reactive nitrogen deposition in the Rocky Mountains National Park (RMNP). We present a review on the state of knowledge concerning the emission, transport, deposition, and mitigation of gaseous ammonia (NH₃) from open-lot cattle feeding facilities located east of the Northern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. …”

Intertidal biodiversity and physical habitat complexity on historic masonry walls: a comparison with modern concrete infrastructure and natural rocky cliffs by Baxter, T, Coombes, M, Viles, H

“…At seven locations across the UK, we compared the biodiversity and physical habitat characteristics of (1) historic (pre-1900s) masonry walls, (2) concrete walls, and (3) natural rocky cliffs.</p> <br> <p>Historic masonry walls were found to support significantly more species than concrete walls, and in some locations, more diverse communities than nearby rocky cliffs. …”

Threshold Effects of Relative Sea-Level Change in Intertidal Ecosystems: Empirical Evidence from Earthquake-Induced Uplift on a Rocky Coast by Shane Orchard, Hallie S. Fischman, Shawn Gerrity, Tommaso Alestra, Robyn Dunmore, David R. Schiel

“…To understand drivers of change and recovery in nearshore ecosystems, we quantified the variation in relative sea-level changes caused by tectonic uplift and evaluated their relationships with ecological impacts with a view to establishing the minimum threshold and overall extent of the major effects on rocky shores. Vertical displacement of contiguous 50 m shoreline sections was assessed using comparable LiDAR data to address initial and potential ongoing change across a 100 km study area. …”
