Abstract:: Small-scale farmers are defined under United States Department of Agriculture guidelines as those whose gross farm sales are less than $40,000. They are typically contrasted with mid-scale farmers whose gross sales are less than $100,000, and with large-scale farmers whose sales are more than $100,000. Arguments from cultural and historical...

Forests, fresh perspectives from ecosystem analysis : proceedings of the 40th annual Biology Colloquium

Creator:: Waring, Richard H.
Abstract:: Over the last decade a new perspective on how forest ecosystems operate has emerged. Ecosystems appear much more flexible than we once thought. Even the most persistent is still evolving in composition. Yet for all their diversity, very similar processes are seen as operating in all forests, providing a point...

Interpretive evolution of the Wilderness Act : the implications of change

Creator:: Klein, Jonathan Winthrop
Abstract:: Compromises required for the passage of the Wilderness Act (1964) created inherent conflicts in the designation and administration of wilderness areas. Subsequent legislation helped to more firmly interpret and define the Act. Attendant policy changes suggest a trend to increase the recreational and economic utility of wilderness. Policy changes also...

Vegetation ecology and net primary productivity of selected freshwater wetlands in Oregon

Creator:: Boss, Theodore R. (Theodore Robert)
Abstract:: Vegetation ecology of eight Oregon freshwater wetlands was described and net aerial primary productivity estimated in four wetlands. Plant cover samples were used to classify 37 wetland and 11 terrestrial communities by agglomerative hierarchical clustering. Samples and species were ordinated. Direct measurements were made of sample relative elevation, inundation duration,...

Vegetation ecology of Fraxinus latifolia communities in William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon

Creator:: Heinitz, Eric Fajen
Abstract:: Composition and structure of Oregon ash (Fraxinus latifolia) woodlands in the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon are described. Twenty stands dominated by Fraxinus latifolia were sampled with 500 m2 circular macroplots in which floristic microplot data were collected for plant community synthesis. Plant communities were identified by computer-assisted...
