Fort Pierce news.
No full textThe Fort Pierce (FL) News [LCCN sn96027172] was originally published by Arthur B. Brosn as a weekly from 1903 through November 9, 1917. From November 15, 1917 through 1920, the newspaper published triweekly. On March 1, 1920, the Fort Pierce News merged with the St. Lucie County (FL) Tribune [LCCN sn89058426] to form the Fort Pierce (FL) News-Tribune [LCCN sn96027171]. The St. Lucie County Tribune was the Fort Pierce News' younger rival, the News being two years older than the Tribune. Fort Pierce (FL) is a city in St. Lucie County (FL) and sits on the Indian River astride Florida's Atlantic Ocean coast. It was incorporated in 1901 and named as the new county's seat of government in 1905. St. Lucie County was formed in 1905 from southern Brevard County (FL). Between 1917 and 1925, various parts of St. Lucie County were separated to form Okeechobee County (FL), Martin County (FL), and Palm Beach County (FL). Fishing was key to the early economy of the City of Fort Pierce. Pineapple was the agricultural king of St. Lucie County from the turn of the 20th century until its collapse following World War I. Fort Pierce News reports on river traffic and the occasional steamboat groundings, the birth of St. Lucie County, and nearby Indian reservations, etc. With the advance of the railroads into southern Florida along Atlantic coast routes, additional reporting is given to rail lines and tourism. Some reports suggest that the Fort Pierce News began as early as December 1902.--E.

Understanding the response of plant biodiversity to environmental perturbation using Grime’s CSR theory
No full textRecent large-scale analyses of plant trait variation have identified two principal spectra of functional variability: 1). an ‘economics’ spectrum ranging from acquisitive species with rapid growth and thin leaves to conservative species with tough, carbon-rich leaves and, 2). for species of intermediate economics, a size spectrum characterized in part by leaf size variation (Wright et al. 2004; Díaz et al. 2004; Cerabolini et al. 2010; Pierce et al. 2012). Indeed, a triangle of viable leaf trait combinations is evident for the Italian flora, and has been used to produce a methodology (Pierce et al. 2013) for the classification of woody and herbaceous angiosperms, gymnosperms and pteridophytes according to CSR (competitor, stress-tolerator, ruderal) theory (Grime 2001; see also Grime & Pierce 2012). Here we review the application of CSR classification for the interpretation of the functional characteristics and assembly of a range of plant communities in Italy and worldwide. We show how CSR classification can be applied to investigate species coexistence at the centimeter scale (e.g. Pierce et al. 2014) and, by allowing a functional interpretation of macro-scale phenomena such as the relationship between biomass production and potential species richness (e.g. Cerabolini et al. 2014), how CSR strategies can allow the prediction of ecosystem and plant community responses to environmental change

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
