Claytonia perfoliata is a west-American polyploid complex of
common annuals (x=6). The species is polymorphic; exomorphic
characters are often variable within local populations. In a transect
of the Columbia River Gorge diploids, tetraploids, hexaploids, octoploids,
and decaploids were collected, which varied in shape of basal
and cauline leaves, degree of...
Meiotic chromosome counts from 200 populations of Claytonia
(Montia) perfoliata (sensu lato) reveal a polyploid pillar complex based
on three morphologically different, chemically distinct, and geographically
defined diploids. The basic chromosome number is x=6.
Diploid C. perfoliata Willdenow with linear juvenile leaves and deltoid
mature basal leaves ranges southeastward from...
A vegetation classification based on concepts and methods developed by Daubenmire was used to identify five habitat types and their related phases on the Medicine Bow National Forest: Abies lasiocarpa/Vaccinium scoparium, including the Pinus contorta/Vaccinium scoparium community; Abies lasiocarpa/Carex geyeri, including the Pinus contorta/Carex geyeri community; Populus tremuloides/Carex geyeri; Pinus...
As shallow water is approached via a steep lake-bottom slope, increased mixing of heat is indicated by the presence of a highly “stepped” temperature profile. This mixing activity operates over a wide range of vertical scales.
The existence of a distinct coastal zone is confirmed in Lake Tahoe (California-Nevada) by horizontal transects measuring chlorophyll and temperature simultaneously. Creation of the coastal region is influenced by bottom topography, the nature of the surface wind stress, and the difference between physical processes occurring within a Rossby radius of...

These are the proceedings of the fifth short course in managing young forests in the Douglas-fir region, conducted by the School of Forestry, Oregon State University, June 11-13, 1973.
Knowledge and experience in the management of young forests continues to expand. The short courses are designed to keep pace with...
