Welcome to the 4-H Sheep Project. You are joining an industry that returns millions of dollars to farmers each year, and caring for one of the oldest domesticated farm animals. Wool has been used for clothing since the days of the earlier settlers, and flocks of sheep have supplied both...
This is a description of the physical setting and distribution of plant and animal species near the mouth of the Salmon River. Intertidal invertebrates are emphasized. A more marine location is contrasted with a more estuarine site.
Plate loading tests in rock are deceptively simple tests to perform.
Consequently, many varieties have been developed in the past
60 years. From each of the varieties various investigators have added
their own developments and modifications, some good, and some not so
good. The result has been a confusion of...
The nonlinear dynamics of unstable alongshore currents in the nearshore
surf zone over variable barred beach topography are studied using numerical
experiments. These experiments extend the recent studies of Allen et al. [1996]
and Slnn et al. [1998], which utilized alongshore uniform beach topographies by
including sinusoidal alongshore variation to...
Various methods have been developed to mitigate the adverse effects of the Federal Columbia River Power System on juvenile Pacific salmon out-migrating through the Columbia River basin. In this study, we found that hatchery-reared spring Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha in the river are in varying degrees of health, which may...
This publication describes how to estimate lime application rate and lists criteria for choosing liming materials (source), lime application method (placement), and how often to apply lime (frequency).
Relieving phosphorus loading is a key management tool for controlling Lake Erie eutrophication. During the
1960s and 1970s, increased phosphorus inputs degraded water quality and reduced central basin hypolimnetic
oxygen levels which, in turn, eliminated thermal habitat vital to cold-water organisms and contributed to the
extirpation of important benthic macroinvertebrate...
A recent identification of the two-component aggregation pheromone of the invasive stink bug species, Halyomorpha halys (Stal), in association with a synergist, has greatly improved the ability to accurately monitor the seasonal abundance and distribution of this destructive pest. We evaluated the attraction of H. halys to black pyramid traps...
