A study was conducted to determine the chemical nature and
the biological treatability of log pond water. Various analyses including
total solids, volatile solids, suspended solids, dissolved
oxygen, pH, COD, BOD₅, BOD₂₀, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrate
nitrogen, phosphate, and PBI were performed on water samples
from each of the four...

The mycorrhizal rootlets of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco.) and red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) were extensively investigated. A jet-black mycorrhiza was found to be dominant on Douglas-fir rootlets. The fungal symbiont was identified as Cenococcum graniforme (Sow.) Ferd. and Winge. Two forms of mycorrhizae predominated on root systems of...
The nonagricultural lands of the world are being called upon today to satisfy tremendous
demands from society at all levels of economic development. Until recently, costs of management
of many of these lands were too high to warrant appreciable management investment for
the relatively low yields. Society is beginning to...
The ecological and silvicultural importance of snowbrush,
Ceanothus velutinus, in the areas west of the summit of the Oregon
Cascades was studied. Particular attention has been given its nitrogen-
fixing ability under both field and greenhouse conditions.
On west slopes of the Oregon Cascades snowbrush occurs above
2, 500 feet...
