Marine provinces, founded on contrasting floras or faunas, have been recognized for more than 150 years but were not consistently defined by endemism until 1974. At that time, provinces were based on at least a 10% endemism and nested within biogeographic regions that covered large geographic areas with contrasting biotic...
Liquid manure lagoons are known to be sources of odor and environmentally damaging gas emissions. Land application of the manure slurry after storage can lead to detrimental nutrient runoff and leaching. Floating lagoon covers (biocovers) are one option for reducing emissions, but to date they have only been used to...
Electrophoretic karyotypes were obtained from intact cells of four wild
type strains of Tilletia caries and T. controversa, and 5 inter specific hybrid
progeny using clamped homogeneous electric field, pulsed field gel
electrophoresis (CHEF PFGE). Each karyotype was polymorphic and unique
relative to the other strains. However, the relative size...
This study presents a rational process with supporting data to establish
appropriate road design controls, criteria, and standards for low volume
recreation and resource development. Much of the information presented can
be used to supplement design data presented in a National road design policy
published by the American Association of...
