The variability of selected physical, chemical, and morphological
soil properties in two landtype mapping units on'the Rogue River National
Forest in southwestern Oregon was studied.
The objectives of the study were (i) to quantify soil variability
in several soil resource inventory mapping units, (ii) to explore methods
of describing soil...

Physical sources of nutrient nitrogen for the Auke Bay, Alaska
estuarine ecosystem were investigated. These sources included
vertical dispersion, advection, and fresh water sources. Hydrographic
circulation patterns for the bay, and a nutrient budget for
the surface mixed layer were developed.
Measurements of temperature, salinity, currents, wind
velocity, rainfall and...
