The Sierra Nevada
TLDR
When we reflect that the mountain valleys were thickly populated as far east as Yosemite (in summer, still further up), and consider the great extent and fertility of the San Joaquin plains, we shall see what a capacity there was to support a dense population as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
When we reflect that the mountain valleys were thickly populated as far east as Yosemite (in summer, still further up), and consider the great extent and fertility of the San Joaquin plains … . then add to this the long and fish-full streams, the Mokelumne, the Stanislaus, the Tuolumne, the Merced, the Chowchilla, and the San Joaquin encircling all, along whose banks the Indians anciently dwelt in multitudes, we shall see what a capacity there was to support a dense population.read more

Phenology of high-elevation pelagic bacteria: the roles of meteorologic variability, catchment inputs and thermal stratification in structuring communities.
TL;DR: A phenology of high-elevation bacterioplankton communities linked to climate-driven physical and chemical lake characteristics already known to regulate eukaryotic plankton community structure is described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse how the interplay of actors brings about this spatial partition and show how the power of an elite as an aesthetic authority, was imposed on communities in the mountain areas.

Spatial and Temporal Variability in the Ecosystem Metabolism of a High-elevation Lake: Integrating Benthic and Pelagic Habitats
TL;DR: In this paper, spatial and temporal variability in net ecosystem production (NEP), community respiration (CR), and gross primary production (GPP) over an ice-free season in an oligotrophic high-elevation lake using highfrequency measurements of dissolved oxygen.

TL;DR: It is concluded that ANC depletion at Moat and Emerald lakes was principally caused by acid deposition, and recovery in ANC after 1970 can be attributed to the United States Clean Air Act.
