There are approximately 4,000,000 acres of cut-over and burned-over land in western Washington and Oregon which are either non-stocked or unsatisfactorily stocked with young forest growth. This brings about a great need for a quick and efficient method of land examination from which to plan reforestation measures and make up...

Coral reef ecosystems are the most diverse on earth, and their subsistence is being threatened by natural and adverse anthropogenic patterns and processes. In an effort to understand and protect these marine environments, several programs have outlined strategies and initiatives. For example, the United States Coral Reef Task Force’s Mapping...

The thesis area includes 54 square miles of the southeastern
Cuddy Mountains in west-central Idaho. The oldest rocks within the
area are plutonic phases of the Jurassic Cuddy Mountain complex.
These and Cretaceous (?) intrusive and associated (?) extrusive rocks
and nearby Triassic to Early Jurassic metasedimentary and metavolcanic

• Premise of the study: The dramatic advances offered by modern DNA sequencers continue to redefine the limits of what can be accomplished in comparative plant biology. Even with recent achievements, however, plant genomes present obstacles that can make it difficult to execute large-scale population and phylogenetic studies on next-generation...

Statistical summaries of streamflow data at 212 stream-gaging sites
are presented in this report to aid in appraising the hydrology of river
basins in Western Oregon. Records for 21 gaging stations were compiled
into separate periods owing to changes in regulation during the period
of data collection. The periods before...

Conifers comprise an ancient and widespread plant lineage of enormous commercial and ecological value. However, compared to model woody angiosperms, such as Populus and Eucalyptus, our understanding of conifers remains quite limited at a genomic level. Large genome sizes (10,000–40,000 Mbp) and large amounts of repetitive DNA have limited efforts...

The Murderers Creek Area, within the Aldrich Mountain province of
northeast Oregon, originated in an arc-trench gap during Permian-early
Triassic time. The area represents a small portion of a forearc
depositional basin and tectonic highland which borders the basin along
its seaward margin. The trench associated with an east dipping...

The Mongolian Steppe is one of the largest remaining grassland ecosystems. Recent studies have reported widespread
decline of vegetation across the steppe and about 70% of this ecosystem is now considered degraded. Among
the scientific community there has been an active debate about whether the observed degradation is related to...

More than 4,000 specimens of fruits and seeds were extracted
from the matrix removed from inside the skulls of sabre-tooth cats
excavated from various pits in the Rancho La Brea deposits. Of this
number, spproximately 1,445 specimens are involved in this study.
Many comparisons with modern fruits and seeds made...
