The effects of zinc and phosphorus treatments on five different
plant species were investigated in a greenhouse experiment. A
second greenhouse experiment extended these investigations in sweet
corn over a broad range of phosphorus treatments with and without
adequate zinc nutrition to study phosphorus induced zinc deficiency.
The plant responses...
The progression and consequences of aluminum toxicity were
studied microscopically in the root tips of four wheat varieties
representing different classes of Al tolerance. The root tips studied
were collected from seedlings grown in nutrient solution cultures containing
either sublethal or lethal Al treatments which were unique for
each variety....

During 1975 and 1976 a sedimentation study was conducted in the Bear Creek watershed, located in the southeastern corner of central Oregon's Crook County. A Rocky Mountain infiltrometer was used to simulate high intensity rainfall over 468 sedimentation plots. Rainfall and runoff were measured and a sample of the runoff...
The Basin Investigation Section, Oregon State Game Commission (now a part of the Environmental Management Section, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife) studied the John Day Basin to provide the State Water Resources Board with fish life water requirement data. Field studies were conducted during 1966, 1967, and 1970. Principal...
