E cology) REVIVING the River of Grass For a century people have diked, drained, and diverted the Everglades' water. Now, after a decade of scientific planning and political haggling, what may be the biggest and most dramatic ecological rescue in history is under way. But in the end, how well the restoration works will be up to nature. By Ted Levin Sitting on the bow of an airboat, 15 miles from the nearest road, I watch mist rising off the leafy marsh. Sawgrass extends to the horizon, broken only by a few islands of green and by shallow braids of water, where lilies and bladderworts bloom in the heat. Angry clouds pile up to the south, while in the east, beyond the early-morning congestion of Fort Lauderdale, shafts of yellow sunlight rake the sky. It's late April, the tip of a new day, and the tip of a new season in the Florida Everglades. What we have out there now is Everglades in name only. It may look like the Everglades, but it doesn't function like the Everglades."

The Poetics of the River Professor of Biology Manuel Molles finds the poetry of living landscapes while teaching about and participating in interdisciplinary research on river ecology. by Larry Walsh Photo by Michael Mouchette. Whether he's knee-deep in flooded forest in the Bosque del Apache, surrounded by a swarm of kamikaze mosquitoes, or bounding through the Corrales bosque, followed by students learning from the trees as much as their textbooks, University of New Mexico biology professor Manuel Molles conveys a boyish enthusiasm, as if he were seeing and understanding the Rio Grande bosque for the first time. It is a joy that permeates his writing on ecology as well. His recently published book, Ecology: Concepts and Applications, is a bestseller in science and math, and is used in hundreds of colleges from Berkeley to Princeton, and in small community colleges across the country. In his writing, Molles manages to evoke the poetry of living landscapes, landscapes whose beauty and wonder attracted ecologists to their areas of study in the first place, while explaining the rapid advances in ecology of the last 25 years. In one chapter of his book Molles, a former marine biologist, writes about the sea: "The blue solitude is something palpable, a sensation that you can almost taste. The only terrestrial biomes that evoke anything close to the feeling of this place are the open prairies and deserts, like the Namib, where the extensive dunes are called the 'sand sea.' But there is a difference between the terrestrial environments and the sea. On the open sea, all is blue-blue sea stretching to the horizon, where it meets blue sky."

MARINE CATCHMENT BASINS AND ANTHROPOGENIC EFFECTS ON COASTAL FISHERY ECOSYSTEMS by J.F. Caddy and A. Bakun INTRODUCTION The history of land use within catchment basins (e.g. Krug, 1993) and consequent nutrient-loading of river discharges, should play a large part in understanding changes in coastal marine ecosystems, although whole-system studies of these effects are still rare. Estuaries and wetlands (Caddy, 1990) are critical marine habitats of importance to coastal living resources, but also play a large part in reducing land-runoff inputs to coastal and enclosed seas (e.g. Tolmazin, 1985; Cristofor et al. et al. , 1993) when discussing not only man's actions on the marine aquatic system and its living marine resources, but also the repercussions on the estuarine and coastal marine environment, of actions on adjacent land areas that drain into it. Several recent reviews (e.g. GESAMP, 1988; Howarth, 1993) have focused on the plume-related chemical events and their consequences low in the food chain, but studies on the commercially important components of the ecosystem are less easily located. However, recent experience has indicated not only the key role played by estuarine environments in marine fisheries (e.g. Oglesby et al.

[TOP] What we do: Research on hydrologic and ecological impacts of atmospheric change and variability. Current research includes: climate change impacts on cold regions hydro-ecology climate impacts on river ice jams climate impacts on peatland and permafrost hydrology lake thermal responses to climate change climate impacts on aquatic food webs climate impacts on groundwater systems hydro-climatology of western and northern water resources climate impacts on ice-covered aquatic systems water and climate studies using isotope tracers Climate change can affect groundwater supplies, aquatic habitats and in-stream conditions. [TOP] Why we do it: Changes in the flow of Arctic rivers from climate change are predicted to cause major disruptions to the global transfer of ocean heat. Understanding future climate change impacts on various hydrologic processes requires better knowledge of past hydroclimatic trends and variability over various regions of Canada.
