The Grants Pass Batholith of Cretaceous age has intruded the
Triassic Applegate Group and metasedimentary rocks of the Jurassic
Galice Formation in the Murphy area of Josephine County, southwest
Oregon. The Applegate Group, mafic volcanic and sedimentary rock,
has been partially (nonequilibrium) metamorphosed under greenschist
facies conditions. The batholith, a...

conductance (EC), pH, temperature, and HCO3 were
measured on 43 samples of well water and Applegate River
Whole ecosystem carbon dioxide (CO₂) exchange estimated with the eddy covariance (EC) technique has been central to studies on the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to disturbance and intra‐annual and interannual variations in climate, but challenges exist in understanding and reducing the uncertainty in estimates of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of...
Aerosol concentrations and 3-D winds were measured from 9 to 25 September 2007, above a pine forest in California. The measurements were combined using the eddy covariance (EC) technique to determine aerosol eddy fluxes as a function of particle diameter within the accumulation mode size range (0.25 μm≤D[subscript]p≤1 μm here)....
We sought to improve net ecosystem exchange (NEE) estimates for a tall, dense, mature Douglas-Fir forest in the Oregon Coast range characterized by weak flows, systematic wind directional shear, and limited turbulent mixing throughout the diurnal period. We used eddy covariance (EC) observations at two levels and concurrent biological measurements...
Estimating the abundance of long-lived, migratory animals is challenging but essential
for managing populations. We provide the first abundance estimates of endangered humpback
whales Megaptera novaeangliae from their breeding grounds in Oceania, South Pacific.
Using fluke photo-identification (1999−2004, n = 660 individuals) and microsatellite genotypes
(1999−2005, n = 840 individuals),...

Environmental factors such as temperature, air, and water can have a profound
effect on the durability of asphalt concrete mixtures. In mild climates where good
quality aggregates and asphalt cement are available, the major contribution to
deterioration may be due to traffic loading and the resultant distress is manifested
in...
There are several reasons for raising calves without their mothers. Occasionally, a cow dies giving birth or doesn’t produce enough milk to support a growing calf. Some people buy calves to raise for beef and use grass grown on a few acres.
This publication describes measurements used to buy and sell timber products. Managing woodland property offers you the opportunity to harvest a variety of products, depending on timber quality and quantity, harvest economics, and market availability. Among these products are saw logs, peeler logs, pulpwood, fuelwood, poles, piling, and posts. Knowledge...
