This dataset contains data layers used and produced by a fuzzy logic model for biomass loss risk under projected climate change in Oregon and Washington west of the Cascade Mountains crest.
The term "forest health" is being increasingly used in the context of forestry and natural resource management. For example, the term has been the subject of several articles in the JOURNAL oF FORESTRY and a recent Society of American Foresters task force report, Sustaining Long- 7•rm Forest Health and Productivity...
Many populations consist of individuals that differ substantially in their diets. Quantification of the magnitude and temporal consistency of such intraspecific diet variation is needed to understand its importance, but the extent to which different approaches for doing so reflect instantaneous vs. time-aggregated measures of individual diets may bias inferences....
When applying pesticides it is important to avoid water contamination and pesticide drift as much as possible. This checklist can help. Three separate checklists(before, during and after) make it easier to remember things to do before, during and after an application to avoid contamination and drift.
Many nurseries are considering soil moisture sensor networks to improve water application efficiency. Due to
the necessarily wide distribution of sensors at a nursery, a wireless network is easier to install, more flexible, and can be
scaled up as needed without re-design as compared to a traditional wired sensor network....
Cephalopods are increasingly viewed as sentient animals that require the same welfare consideration as their vertebrate counterparts. In this study, an observational welfare assessment tool developed by the EU Directive was revised to be species-specific for the giant Pacific octopus, Enteroctopus dofleini. This E. dofleini health and welfare assessment tool...
In the late 1850s, few young Jews, recently arrived in the United States from Poland, chose to live in Florida. Fortunately, one who did, Max White, wrote down his memoirs of those years, leaving us a remarkable, very personal account of life on the Florida frontier as well as a...
IPM stands for “Integrated Pest Management,” a common-sense pest management strategy that focuses on long-term solutions to pest problems with minimum impact on human health and the environment. In an IPM approach, pesticides are not relied upon as the only response to a pest problem, but are part of an...
