## Abstract In alpine tundra, hillslope drainage occurs predominantly below the ground surface, between the relatively impermeable frost table and the water table above it. The saturated hydraulic conductivity decreases by two to three orders of magnitude between the ground surface and the top of t

We studied the influence of spatial differences in diurnal surface temperatures due to topography on an alpine grasshopper (Aeropedellus clavatus). Temperature measurements on east-and west-facing alpine dry meadow slopes on Niwot Ridge in Colorado demonstrated a significant difference in diurnal su
Four populations of Abies concolor, white fir, were sampled along an elevational transect in the central Sierra Nevada mountains of California. This paper is based on data taken during the first two years' growth in a nearby nursery at Placerville, California. Ten of the thirteen growth, size, and n
On the basis of Akaike's Bayesian information criterion (ABIC), a new method of estimating temporal and spacial variations in the magnitudefrequency relation (b value) is developed. The space-time volume studied is divided into a number of segments having equal volume, for which b values are estimat
## Abstract Vegetation mosaics have commonly been thought to include two principal zones with distinctly different hydrology: relatively bare and impermeable runoff source zones (__intergroves__) and more strongly absorbing vegetated runon zones (__groves__). However, the data required to verify th
