A study of the phosphorus dynamics in castle Lake, California, is presented.
The approach is (1) to identify the important phosphorus parameters,
(2) to develop and apply methods measuring the parameters in the
field and (3) to develop a computer model of the phosphorus cycle. This
model will be used...
A multipoint environmental temperature recorder is described. Some of the many features that recommend the application of this recorder to field studies are multiple input capability, efficient use of chart
paper, reliability, and low power consumption from batteries. Design considerations and electrical details are provided.
A pilot project to evaluate trichlorfon and acephate for suppressing western spruce budworm populations was conducted on the Helena National Forest, Montana. Both insecticides were applied at 1 pound active ingredient per acre. Application was made with a Bell 205A helicopter using eight Beecomist Model 350 spray heads. Treatments and...
A multistage sampling survey to measure annual and cumulative mortality of lodgepole
pine by mountain pine beetle was conducted

from aerial sketchmapping. This was followed
by large scale (1:6,000) aerial photography,...
The pine butterfly, Neophasia menapia (Felder and Felder), currently is epidemic on approximately 40,000 acres of State, private, and National Forest land in the Bitter Root Valley. Butterfly populations were reported as becoming epidemic in 1969 and have continually increased to the present level (Bousfield and Dewey 1972).
Because this...
Studies of vertical as well as horizontal distributions of fishes often require the use of gill nets hung vertically from the surface to the bottom. By using gill nets in this fashion it is possible to sample the entire water column as a continuous variable.
Forest communities in the central portion of Oregon's western Cascades are arrayed along moisture and temperature gradients. With the aid of reconnaissance data and a computerized ordination technique, 23 forest communities have been provisionally recognized in two distinct forest zones, the Tsuga heterophylla (300 to 1050 m in elevation) and...

Earlier papers by Brown [1973] and Brown and Beattie [1975] showed, for the common case of positively interrelated explanatory variables, that the ridge regression estimator of Hoerl and Kennard [1970] gave much larger bias and mean square error (MSE) for models with unlike signs. To avoid this excessive bias and...
