Relationships between sagebrush-dominated plant communities and
soil-site characteristics were examined on 372 relatively undisturbed
rangeland sites of the Humboldt National Forest, in northeastern
Nevada. Plant species production data were analyzed by TWINSPAN to
develop a hierarchical, floristic-based community type (C.T.) classification.
Seventeen C.T.s were identified in this analysis and named...
North America, with over 400 species of Astragalus (Fabaceae), is one of three major centers of diversity, all of which comprise the majority of the nearly 1750 species of Astragalus worldwide. One of the most diverse species, Astragalus lentiginosus of Section Diphysi, is a polymorphic complex of over 40 varieties,...
Multiple linear regression was used to develop equations for 12-,
24-, and 36-hour surface wind forecasts for the wind energy site at
Goodnoe Hills. Equations were derived separately for warm and cool
seasons. The potential predictors included LFM II model output, MOS
surface wind forecasts extrapolated from surrounding stations, pressure...
The purpose of this study was to understand the
role of causal attributions in casual-dating
dissolution. Of 88 participants in a longitudinal
investigation of casual-dating relationships, 48
completed termination questionnaires.
Data were examined for common themes of break-up
using Kelley's theory of interdependence. Reflecting
concern for one's own outcomes in...
This qualitative study examines how FIESTAS (Family Involved in Education, Sociocultural Teaching and STEM) partners (comprised of out-of-school time (OST) educators, university student STEM instructors, and local business representatives) came together to facilitate a local STEM Club located in two dual-immersion elementary schools in the Pacific Northwest. The study addresses...
The Guano and Thousand-Virgin Sub-basins occupy over 1.8 million acres in Harney and Lake Counties in Oregon. The portions of the sub-basins in Nevada are not assessed in this document. Harney County Watershed Council (HCWC) watershed assessments focus on summarizing data from existing research, resource inventories, and management plans. This...
