Vegetation and soil response to tree removal methods in invasive western juniper woodlands

Creator:: O'Connor, Casey A.
Abstract:: On piñon-juniper encroached sites that lack the understory fuels to carry a prescribed fire, treatment options are limited to mechanical methods. Cutting with chainsaws and leaving the trees on site has been the primary treatment method for such sites, however this method creates a potential fire hazard, particularly in the...

An assessment of plant community structure, herbivory, soils, and state-and-transition theory on a winterfat (Krascheninnikovia lanata [Pursh] A.D.J. Meeuse & Smit) ecological site

Creator:: Matney, Casey A.
Abstract:: State-and-transition models (STMs) have been successfully used to describe ecological dynamics in woodlands, shrublands, grasslands, and several other ecosystems. Changes in vegetation and soil are measured to gauge and predict plant community dynamics within ecological states and transitions between alternative ecological states. Ecological states and their boundaries are defined by...

Synthesis and characterization of aluminum oxide based materials - from molecule to device

Creator:: Wang, Wei
Abstract:: A scalable synthesis of the "flat" tridecameric inorganic cluster [Al₁₃(μ₃-OH)₆(μ-OH)₁₈(H₂O)₂₄]¹⁵⁺ has been realized by treating an aqueous aluminum nitrate solution with zinc-metal powder at room temperature. Single crystals and polycrystalline samples are readily obtained in yields exceeding 55% relative to the starting reagent Al(NO₃)₃. Products have been characterized by X-ray...

Effectiveness of classroom vs. web-based lifetime fitness for health lab instruction on college students' behavioral and psychological physical activity orientation

Creator:: Spaziana, Marc D.
Abstract:: Offering courses that promote, encourage, and support physical activity among college students has been an aim of physical education departments for the past century (Sargeant, 1900). Even so, this population has been identified in Healthy People 2010 as a target population segment in need of physical activity intervention. Historically, such...
