PART I. A chemical examination of the materials toxic to fish in
kraft pulp mill wastes has been made as part of a water pollution
study. Thirty gallons of "foul condensate" from a typical kraft mill
gave 14 g of organic material when extracted with methylene chloride,
and an additional...
Population genetic techniques are now preeminent in differentiating wild populations. Natural resource managers rely on them in their efforts to restore viable populations of fish and wildlife. Overfishing adversely impacted Yelloweye Rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) on the U.S. West Coast in the late 20th century. Management actions included shutting down the...
Soil moisture depletion trends under five plant species growing
on the clear-cuts of the Marys Peak Watershed near Corvallis,
Oregon, were followed during the summers of 1963 and 1964. The
species were Holcus lanatus, Lotus crassifolius var. subglaber,
Gaultheria shallon, Berberis nervosa, and Acer circinatum; and
were dominant plants of...
Seasonal data on tides, water quality and sediments in the
Siuslaw Estuary were collected. Tide and velocity data were analyzed
to evaluate damping conditions in the estuary. The system was found
to approximate a weakly damped standing wave. A strong relationship
of damping conditions to river flow was observed. The...
