Consumer perceptions of decking material

Creator:: Thomas, Jon M.
Abstract:: Wood remains the most popular material for deck construction. For centuries, consumers have chosen wood because of its desirable qualities and aesthetics. In recent years, wood plastic composites (WPC's) have seen rising demand as alternatives to wood decks, despite a large price premium. In addition, the removal of CCA treated...

Environmental contaminants and breeding biology of great blue herons in the Columbia River Basin

Creator:: Thomas, Carmen M.
Abstract:: Great blue heron (Ardea herodias) eggs and prey items were collected from six colonies on the Columbia and Willamette rivers and Puget Sound during 1994-95. Contaminant concentrations, reproductive success, and biomagnification factors (BMFs) were determined and effects of residue levels were measured by H4IIE rat hepatoma and ethoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (EROD) bioassays....

Patterns of mortality in an old-growth mixed-forest of the southern Sierra Nevada, California

Creator:: Smith, Thomas F., Rizzo, David M., and North, Malcolm
Abstract:: Mortality patterns in an old-growth, mixed-conifer forest, in the absence of wildfire, were investigated at the Teakettle Experimental Forest from 2000 to 2002. We tested the hypothesis that after a century of fire suppression, pathogen- and insect-associated mortality (between episodic droughts) would be significantly greater on ingrowth trees (i.e., smaller-diameter,...

Chlorophyll variability in eastern boundary currents

Creator:: Thomas, A. C., Carr, M. E., and Strub, P. Ted
Abstract:: The first three years of SeaWiFS data (1997-2000) provide the most complete quantification to date of chlorophyll seasonal variability along the full latitudinal extent of the four major eastern boundary currents (EBCs). Comparisons to previously published chlorophyll seasonal climatologies deduced from the relatively sparse coverage provided by the Coastal Zone...

Gender identification and growth of juvenile lesser prairie-chickens

Creator:: Pitman, James C., Hagen, Christian A., Robel, Robert J., Loughlin, Thomas M., and Applegate, Roger D.
Abstract:: The ability to ascertain gender and age of juvenile grouse is essential for determining gender-specific population age structure and studying timing of reproductive events, respectively. We examined outer rectrix feathers from juvenile Lesser Prairie-Chickens (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) captured at 30–40 and 50–60 days post-hatching. Blood samples were collected from most chicks...

Niche partitioning by lesser prairie-chickens Tympanuchus pallidicinctus and ring-necked pheasants Phasianus colchicus in southwestern Kansas.

Creator:: Hagen, Chrisitan A., Pitman, James C., Robel, Robert J., Loughin, Thomas M., and Applegate, Roger D.
Abstract:: We conducted this 2-year study to determine if lesser prairie-chickens Tympanuchus pallidicinctus and ring-necked pheasants Phasianus colchicus used the same habitats where their ranges overlapped in southwestern Kansas. Telemetry locations of 50 transmitter-equipped lesser prairie-chickens and 28 pheasants were used to monitor habitat use by the two species. Additionally, vegetation...

Registration of ‘Teamaker’ Hop

Creator:: Henning, John A., Haunold, Alfred, Townsend, M. Shaun, Gent, David H., and Parker, Thomas B.
Abstract:: ’Teamaker’ hop (Humulus lupulus L.) (Reg. No. CV-28, PI 558864) was developed by the USDA-ARS as a unique, nonbittering, high beta-acids hop and was released on 26 June 2006. The defining characteristics of Teamaker are its near-zero percent alpha acids levels—a distinctive condition in the Humulus species (Haunold et al.,...

Structure of the Baroclinic Tide Generated at Kaena Ridge, Hawaii

Creator:: Nash, Jonathan D., Kunze, Eric, Lee, Craig M., and Sanford, Thomas B.
Abstract:: Repeat transects of full-depth density and velocity are used to quantify generation and radiation of the semidiurnal internal tide from Kaena Ridge, Hawaii. A 20-km-long transect was sampled every 3 h using expendable current profilers and the absolute velocity profiler. Phase and amplitude of the baroclinic velocity, pressure, and vertical...
