American meteorology was synonymous with subjective weather forecasting in the early twentieth century. Controlled by the Weather Bureau and with no academic programs of its own, the few hundred extant meteorologists had no standing in the scientific community. Until the American Meteorological Society was founded in 1919, meteorologists had no...

This report documents and summarizes several decades of work on sage-grouse populations, sagebrush as habitat, and sagebrush community and ecosystem functions based on the recent assessment and findings of the USFWS under consideration of the Endangered Species Act. As reflected here, some of these topics receive a greater depth of...
The Bureau of Entomology has been conducting systematic and economic
investigations of the weevils infesting the bark of the trunk and

In the measurement of fire weather and forest inflammability,
now practiced regularly at more than 90 forest stations in northern
Idaho and western Montana, it is necessary to use many methods
that are peculiar to this work. Some of these methods are familiar
to meteorologists, but few foresters have had...

Lake water quality is affected by local and regional drivers, including lake physical characteristics, hydrology, landscape position, land cover, land use, geology, and climate. Here, we demonstrate the utility of hypothesis testing within the landscape limnology framework using a random forest algorithm on a national-scale, spatially explicit data set, the...
Studies of anthropogenic impacts on wildlife may produce inconclusive or biased results if they fail to account for natural sources of variation in breeding performance and do not use probabilistic sampling at a scale functional for management. We used stratified random sampling and generalized linear mixed models to test hypotheses...
Geotextiles are experiencing increased use in arctic and subarctic
construction in separation, reinforcement, erosion control, and
drainage applications. The use of geotextiles as capillary cutoff
layers to prevent frost heave has been proposed as well.
In recognition of the need to investigate properties of geotextiles
in cold regions applications, a...

Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) has been actively invading the shrub steppe community for the past 120
years. Active fire suppression, overstocking of livestock in the late 1800's, along with a wetter than normal period in
the latter half of the 19th century, has allowed juniper to encroach into areas where...
The proposed action is to thin understory trees from around ponderosa pine, sugar pine, white pine, and
Douglas fir in the outer portion of Riparian Reserves in the Jenny Creek watershed. The overall objective
