Several changes appear to be needed in present disposal practices.
Usable materials are discarded in our society in large volume and many of these substances are nonreplaceable minerals. Not only are the minerals themselves lost to society but the energy which produced them is lost as well. Also, the current...
Provides information about complexity of watersheds. Outlines ways to form partnerships, to develop strategies for enhancing watershed resources, and to implement enhancement projects.
The variability in morphologic, chemical, and physical soil
properties within the Willakenzie silty clay loam, 2 to 12 percent
slopes, map unit in Yamhill County, Oregon was measured.
The objectives of the study included (1) describing the frequency
distributions of individual soil properties, (2) measuring the
taxonomic composition of the...
A study was undertaken in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, to document
1971 land use patterns as well as land use change in a smaller study
area in the 16 years prior, and to relate these to soil characteristics.
Quantification of these inter-relationships was aided by use of computer
tabulation and...
The ectomycorrhizal fungi Cenococcum geophilum, Hebeloma
crustuliniforme and Laccaria laccata produced ethylene in vitro in
modified Melin-Norkrans liquid medium only if amended with 2.5 to
10 mM methionine; Pisolithus tinctorius failed to produce ethylene
unless the cultures were renewed with fresh methionine-amended
medium prior to ethylene assay. An additional 19...
Concern over the need to provide open space in communities
for recreation and other uses and to estimate the public values
involved is apparent to regional planners. This need, particularly
evident in natural resource planning, indicates that more sophisticated
analytical techniques be developed.
The primary thrust of this study is...
A well-defined, quantitative model for determining soil contrast
was developed to improve soil survey interpretations concerning the
effects of mixtures of different kinds of soils on agricultural land
use. The model was evaluated by determining the levels and reasons
for soil contrast on mapped soil areas representing 5 different
landscapes,...
