Citizen Jane Filmmakers Series : a conversation with Sharon Shattuck

PodcastThis week The Missouri Review Soundbooth Podcast, inaugurates a series of podcasts about the Citizen Jane Film festival. The Citizen Jane Film Festival celebrates independent film by independent women and takes place in Columbia, Missouri, every fall. Sharon Shattuck is a filmmaker whose first feature, "From This Day Forward," is currently touring film festivals all over the world. "From This Day Forward" is a documentary that tells the story of Shattuck's transgender father, Tricia, and her mother, Marcia, who have been married for over thirty years. In addition, Shattuck is the co-creator of the New York Times Op-Docs series "Animated Life," which animates historical moments of scientific discovery, and is a contributing blogger for the Huffington Post and the Advocate

Primary succession in sand dunes along the northeastern shore of Lake Michigan.

A study was conducted detailing the trends of succession at Sturgeon Bay, located in Wilderness State Park, Emmet County, Michigan. Data were gathered from 21 different plots located on 3 different transects on the first 7 dunes from the shore. It was found that in the fore-dunes, the most limiting factors to colonization were desiccation and sand movement due to wind. Light intensity was found to be higher in the fore-dunes (R2=.9344). Wind speed was faster in the fore-dunes compared to those farther back from the lake (R2= .9168). Sapling composition showed significant differences between the fore-dunes and the older dunes (Dunes 3-7: X2=80.66, d.f. 12, p< 0.05). Mature trees showed no significant difference in species composition, however, the calculated chi-squared value was very similar to the critical value suggesting a possible type I error (Dunes 4-7: X2=16.02, d.f = 9, p<O.05). In the later dunes, the most limiting factors were competition (mostly for light) and regeneration mutations on the species in the fore-dunes. This was shown by the decrease in vegetation density as the dunes matured. (R2 =.6605) Contrary to previous beliefs on succession, soil development is an effect rather than a driving factor. The soil horizons, pH, and moisture levels were correlated with dune age, showing the effects of succession. (Soil horizon: R2 = .8062, pH : R2= .939, and % Moisture: R2=.8661). The data suggest little correlation between soil nitrogen and phosphorous content and dune age. (Nitrogen: R2 = .3888, , Phosphorous: R2 = .125) This suggests that while soil nutrients increase growth rates, their presence does not facilitate succession.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/54973/1/3414.pdfDescription of 3414.pdf : Access restricted to on-site users at the U-M Biological Station
