Detailed geologic mapping in the Mormon Mountains and
new geophysical data provide significant insight into
contractional and extensional tectonics in southern Nevada,
southwest Utah, and northwest Arizona. The rocks in the
region were complexly deformed during two distinct tectonic
episodes. Numerous interrelated events occurred within each
episode. The first tectonic...
The study presents two main parts: first, a review
of tropical silviculture and forest management systems
and, second, the investigation of a growth and yield
model which has some potential for application in the
tropical region. The presentation of tropical
silviculture includes: (1) an overview of the biological
characteristics of...
