Major emphasis of this research study involved the evaluation
of nutrient transport by overland flow. Samples gathered at various
distances relative to a swine-waste spray irrigation system were
used for the nutrient evaluation.
As a result of this study, the following conclusions are made:
1. It is improbable that the...
This study was undertaken as a result of an interest in the

the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the
descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than
important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application
of...
Population and habitat characteristics of Acorn Woodpeckers
(Melanerpes formicivorus) were examined in oak stands (Quercus
garryana) in Benton County, Oregon. Characteristics of eight oak
stands not containing Acorn Woodpeckers were also examined. The
data were used to determine which factors might be related to woodpecker
presence and abundance within the...
