New varieties and advanced breeding lines of forage and turf grass species were grown under Oregon conditions to evaluate their seed yield potential. Seed harvest dates and clean seed yields for 146 entries are reported for 1982 and 1983, and ranked as a percent of the standard variety for each...
Federal legislation requires that governmental programs be evaluated on a wide set of criteria to provide policymakers with information on the achievement or lack of achievement of goals and/or objectives.

Soil effects from mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa ) burrowing were
investigated in Oregon Coast Range soils formed from Tyee sandstone. The potential
for observed changes in soil to affect productivity was assessed. Soil horizons from
mountain beaver mound soil and adjacent unmounded profiles were collected with a
monolith-type quantitative sampler....
Data from nine stratocumulus clouds in the northeastern Pacific Ocean were analyzed
to determine the effect of aerosol particles on cloud microphysical and radiative properties.
Seven nighttime and two daytime cases were included. The number concentration of
below-cloud aerosol particles (> 0.10 μm diameter) was highly correlated with cloud
droplet...
