Factors affecting physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of lakes
were investigated through the development of a lake-classification system for 162
lakes in North Cascades National Park Service Complex. A conceptual view of lake
development and its relationship to the expression of lake and watershed
characteristics was derived. Water quality and...
An analysis of lumber prices provided regressions for price trends during the period 1971-95 for composite lumber grades of major timber species found in the Pacific Northwest west of the crest of the Cascade Range. The analysis included data for coastal Douglas-fir and hem-fir lumber; coastal and inland Pacific Northwest...
The long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum)
is the top vertebrate predator in fishless high-elevation
lakes in North Cascades National Park Service Complex
(NOCA), Washington. The purpose of this research was to
determine the effects of physico-chemical factors and
introduced trout on abundance and behavior of A.
macrodactylum larvae. Although high-elevation lakes...
As a result of the past three years of field studies and our interpretation of these and other data from the literature, we conclude that there are inputs of hydrothermal fluids into the bottom of Crater Lake. The dissolved materials associated with these thermally and chemically enriched fluids, coupled with...
This book provides an illustrated guide to the identification and management of fungi, insects, and abiotic conditions that cause problems in Northwest bareroot conifer nurseries. A key to nursery pests offers initial guidance in identification. Separate chapters address individual pests with details on recognition, damage cycle, and management practices to...
