Large fallen trees in various stages of decay contribute much-needed diversity of ecological processes to terrestrial, aquatic, estuarine, coastal beach, and open ocean habitats in the Pacific Northwest.

The main objective of this project was to compare on-farm measurement techniques for estimating N-contributions from cover crops using 1) separated species lab tests (a standard experimental method), 2) bulked species lab tests, 3) fresh weight, 4) dry weight and 5) canopy height and density. We also recorded relative weed...
Oregon pink shrimp (PandaZus jordani) landings in 1978 were a record 56,997,105 pounds (25,840 mt) over 8 million pounds (17%) more than was landed in 1977, the previous record year (Figure 1, Table 1).

The goals for a well-managed small-acreage horse farm are:

All nutrients (manure and stall waste) generated by the horses
recycled to feed the pasture or removed from the farm and
recycled
Healthy horses...
