The sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks of the
Callahan, California area formed on, or adjacent to, a Lower Paleozoic
island arc complex which has since been tectonically disrupted.
Sandstone, shale, lithic wacke, chert, banded quartzite, siliceous
mudstone, conglomerate, and limestone of the eastern Klamath belt
were deposited from the Middle...
The Facey Rock area includes approximately 4 square miles in
the Eastern Paleozoic Subprovince of the Klamath Mountains north
of Callahan, California. The structurally complex terrain is composed
of sparcely fossiliferous Silurian graywacke, sparsely fossiliferous
Ordovician limestone, Devonian to Cretaceous chloritic
quartzite and minor gabbroic and dioritic intrusive rocks.

Articulate brachiopod communities sensitive to environmental factors, especially depth and distance from shore, are described from the upper Middle Devonian (upper Eifelian and Givetian; Cazenovia, Tioughnioga, and Taghanic stages of eastern North America) of eastern North America. The Subrensselandia, Cupularostrum, Mediospirifer, Tropidoleptus, Devonochonetes, Mucrospirifer, Atrypid-Strophodontid, Ambocoeliid, Pacificocoelia, Truncalosia, and Camarotoechia...
Mathematical modeling of phytoplankton populations based on laboratory observations provides increased understanding of the interaction among the environmental and biological mechanisms. influencing growth dynamics. Such fundamental understanding is necessary to estimate the impact of man-made perturbations on natural population.
A three-compartment mathematical model was developed to represent a phytoplankton population...
Experiments were conducted to determine if the plagiotropic
growth habit of rooted cuttings of Douglas-fir might result from a
system favoring the accumulation of indoleacetic acid in the adaxial
side of the shoot in response to vertical placement.
Actively growing excised branch terminals were subjected to
gravitational disorientation to determine...
