which the decision maker in Bendel State, Nigeria, can best be assisted
in the formulation of policies related to land use.

A Resource Planning and Management System (RPMS) and Goal
Programming algorithm are integrated into a tool for optimization of
resource allocation in university academic departments. The integrated

A western false hemlock looper, Neptyia freeman Munroe, outbreak was detected in the late summer of 1973 at the north end of Flathead Lake. Defoliation, from barely detectable to heavy (most foliage removed from upper half of trees), occurred on Douglas-fir over about 3,000 acres
located between Somers and Kalispell,...
In 1973, two centers of defoliation by Douglas-fir tussock moth totaling 350 acres were detected near Missoula, Montana. Egg mass surveys showed two sections south of Frenchtown and one section northwest of Lolo 41, contain sufficient egg mass population to cause heavy defoliation in 1974.
The mountain pine beetle, Dendroetonus ponderosae Hopk., has been at epidemic levels in second-growth ponderosa pine stands in the Ninemile area of the Lolo National Forest and surrounding private lands since 1969. An impact survey, using two levels of photography and a small ground sample, was conducted to estimate a...
Mountain pine beetle reached epidemic levels in second-growth ponderosa pine stands on Bureau of Indian Affairs and private lands on the Crow Indian Reservation. Approximately 9,106 trees containing 420,266 merchantable board feet were killed from 1971 to 1973. This is about 24 percent of the merchantable ponderosa pine in stands...
