Objectives of this study were to determine differences in
herbage production of three seral stages of three habitat-types.
Field studies were conducted in 1967 and 1968 on the Squaw Butte
Experimental Range.
Twelve, 400-square-foot, paired exclosures were established
in each habitat-type. Herbage was clipped from four, 48-squarefoot
samples in one...
Seed of Cougar and Newport Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.)
was harvested at Pullman and Spokane at several stages of maturity.
Variations in seed attributes resulting from environmental and maturity
effects were evaluated through germination tests, tetrazolium staining,
seed moisture and seed weight determinations. Seedling vigor was
determined by .speed...
The ecology of a population of snowshoe hares, Lepus
americanus washingtonii, was studied in western Oregon from 1960
to 1962. Objectives were to obtain information to control hares,
which frequently cause damage to coniferous reproduction in the
region, and to compare the life history of this little-studied subspecies
with others....
