The executive program and operating syntax of the forest growth model SUCSIM IV are outlined in Section A. Lists of parameters, state variables and other quantities, and their values (if constant) are given in Section B. The remainder of the bulletin is devoted to the models used. The quantities given...
Bitterbrush [Purshia tridentata (Pursh) DC] plants were burned or
clipped, fall and spring, under different soil moisture conditions on
two sites in east-central Oregon. Treatments, on plants of an erect
growth form on the Juniperus/Artemisia-Purshia site resulted in 38% of
the fall-clipped and 40% of the spring-clipped plants sprouting. None...
This publication has been prepared
in reply to frequent requests
by home gardeners for information
on construction of small glass and
plastic greenhouses. The subject is
developed briefly with the hope
that those interested may see the
possible variations in construction
and materials. Prefabricated greenhouses
are readily available and actually...
The distributed-microstructure model for the flow of single phase
fluid in a partially fissured composite medium due to Douglas-Peszyńska-Showalter [12] is extended to a quasi-linear version. This model contains the
geometry of the local cells distributed throughout the medium, the flux exchange
across their intricate interface with the imbedded fissure...
Question: Most results of restoration efforts are species-specific and/or site-specific and therefore are not general enough to be easily applied to other species and other sites. Our research addresses the issue of species-specific results by investigating the feasibility of using plant traits instead of taxonomic species to characterize species responses...
Recent analysis of 38 globally distributed paleoclimatic records covering Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS 3) 60–26 ka demonstrated that the two leading empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) explaining the data are the Greenland ice-core signal (“northern” signal) and the Antarctic ice-core signal (“southern” signal). Here singular spectral analysis (SSA) is used...
We estimated annual survival rates (S) of 23 radio-marked Northern Spotted Owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) at the Quartz and Timbered Rock burns and adjacent areas in southwest Oregon. We used known-fate models in program MARK to test for differences in survival among three groups (owls dwelling inside of burned areas,...
