Application Of Combined Jointed Media And Discrete Slip Plane Characteristics To Subsidence Predictions, David W. Basinger
Application Of Combined Jointed Media And Discrete Slip Plane Characteristics To Subsidence Predictions, David W. Basinger
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis presents an application of a numerical formulation incorporating the effects of joints, cracks, and fractures to a soil subsidence predictions problem, and the extension of that formulation to combined discrete slip planes and jointed media continua formulations. The results obtained are compared to each other and to a physical centrifuge simulation performed previously on the same problem.
Soil Water And Temperature Response To Prescribed Burning, S. G. Whisenant, C. J. Scifres, D. N. Ueckert
Soil Water And Temperature Response To Prescribed Burning, S. G. Whisenant, C. J. Scifres, D. N. Ueckert
Great Basin Naturalist
Prescribed burning of Texas wintergrass (Stipa leucotricha Trin. & Rupr.) communities reduced soil water contents for two to six months, and additional reductions occurred when the subsequent crop of cool-season grasses and forbs began growth. These soil water reductions occurred despite reduced plant production following burning. Soil water reductions were greater at 15 to 45 cm depths than in the upper 15 cm and greater following spring burning. Soil temperatures were higher on burned plots for most of the first year following burning.
Habitat And Distribution Of Pygmy Rabbits (Sylvilagus Idahoensis) In Oregon, Nondor T. Weiss, B. J. Verts
Habitat And Distribution Of Pygmy Rabbits (Sylvilagus Idahoensis) In Oregon, Nondor T. Weiss, B. J. Verts
Great Basin Naturalist
An investigation to determine the location and extent of populations of pygmy rabbits (Sylvilagus idahoensis) in Oregon, and to describe several biotic and physical components within communities that include pygmy rabbits, was conducted from October 1981 to September 1983. Of 211 sites suspected of supporting the species based on interpretation of museum records, aerial photographs, soil maps, and interviews with biologists and area residents, 51 exhibited evidence of being inhabited when examined in summer 1982. Soil and vegetation components were sampled at 15 sites occupied by pygmy rabbits and 21 sites adjacent thereto. At inhabited sites, mean soil …

Late Summer Changes In Mule Deer Diets With Increasing Use On Bitterbrush Rangeland, D. D. Austin, P. J. Urness, J. King
Late Summer Changes In Mule Deer Diets With Increasing Use On Bitterbrush Rangeland, D. D. Austin, P. J. Urness, J. King
Great Basin Naturalist
Late summer diet composition of mule deer was determined daily within a mountain browse enclosure dominated by antelope bitterbrush. Palatable forages of low abundance were rapidly depleted, and bitterbrush continually composed over 50% of the diet, even at utilization exceeding 350 deer-days/ha. The relationship of bitterbrush forage production and deer-days use is discussed.
Insect Damage, Cone Dimensions, And Seed Production In Crown Levels Of Ponderosa Pine, J. M. Schmid, J. C. Mitchell, K. D. Carlin, M. R. Wagner
Insect Damage, Cone Dimensions, And Seed Production In Crown Levels Of Ponderosa Pine, J. M. Schmid, J. C. Mitchell, K. D. Carlin, M. R. Wagner
Great Basin Naturalist
Insect damage to second-year cones was generally not significantly different between crown levels, but was significantly different among areas and among trees within areas for Conophthorus, Megastigmus, and Cydia. Both cone length and width were not significantly different between lower and middle crown, but cone length was significantly greater in the upper crown. Seeds per cone ranged from 34 to 66, but the percent of sound seed per cone varied significantly according to the amount of insect damage.
Environmental Site Characteristics And Incidence Of Chokecherry Black Knot In Utah, Sarah Ann Stewart, D. J. Weber
Environmental Site Characteristics And Incidence Of Chokecherry Black Knot In Utah, Sarah Ann Stewart, D. J. Weber
Great Basin Naturalist
Black knot disease of chokecherries, induced by Dibotryon morbosum (Schw.) Th. & Syd., is widely distributed in Utah. The incidence of black knot was measured by determining the ratio of total black knot gall length to total stem length of plants and then expressing that value as a percentage of diseased stems in the sample plot. The environmental site factors measured were elevation, exposure, slope, soil pH, soil depth, distance to surface water, plant moisture stress, and associated vegetation. Numerical values were determined for each of these variables at each of 18 randomly located plots. Correlation coefficients for plant moisture …
Plant Nutrient Levels On Two Summer Ranges In The River Of No Return Wilderness Area, Idaho, Charles L. Elliott, Jerran T. Flinders
Plant Nutrient Levels On Two Summer Ranges In The River Of No Return Wilderness Area, Idaho, Charles L. Elliott, Jerran T. Flinders
Great Basin Naturalist
Monthly percent nutrient and moisture levels of plant species on two summer ranges in the River of No Return Wilderness Area of Idaho were determined. Festuca idahoensis exhibited the highest average crude protein content of graminoids on both study areas. Achillea millefolium and Balsamorhiza saggittata at Rush Point and Trifolium spp. and Achillea millefolium at Cold Meadows possessed the highest mean crude protein content of the forbs examined. Grasses exhibited greater average seasonal levels of crude fiber, and forbs generally contained significantly larger levels of Ca, P, and moisture.
Producer-Consumer Biomass In Montane Forests On The Arizona Mogollon Plateau, Warren P. Clary, Peter F. Ffolliott, Frederic R. Larson
Producer-Consumer Biomass In Montane Forests On The Arizona Mogollon Plateau, Warren P. Clary, Peter F. Ffolliott, Frederic R. Larson
Great Basin Naturalist
A substantially complete compilation of producer-consumer biomass was achieved for two montane forest reference stands on the Arizona Mogollon Plateau. This compilation, containing published and previously unpublished data, shows these ponderosa-pine-dominated stands to be near the lower end of the biomass range of commercial forest types. The two stands averaged approximately 75 metric tons/ha of plant biomass. Consumers made up less than 0.01 percent of the forest biomass. About 9/10 of the measured consumer biomass consisted of domestic and native ruminants.
Birds Of The Desert Region Of Uintah County, Utah, A. Gaylon Cook
Birds Of The Desert Region Of Uintah County, Utah, A. Gaylon Cook
Great Basin Naturalist
The Common Loon, White Pelican, Double-crested Cormorant, recurvirostrids, and most grebes, waterfowl, gulls, and terns have become more abundant in Uintah County, Utah, since 1937 (Twomey 1942) due to the establishment of Pelican Lake and adjacent water bodies and the ponds and marshes at Ouray National Wildlife Refuge and Pariette Wetlands Wildlife Management Area. The incidence of herons, egrets, thrushes, nuthatches, and icterids has generally remained about the same since 1937. Diurnal raptors have largely declined in abundance in the desert region of Uintah County since Twomey's (1942) study. Plovers, sandpipers, phalaropes, and the White-faced Ibis were generally less common …
Role Of Livestock And Black-Tailed Jackrabbits In Changing Abundance Of Kochia Americana, William R. Clark, Frederic H. Wagner
Role Of Livestock And Black-Tailed Jackrabbits In Changing Abundance Of Kochia Americana, William R. Clark, Frederic H. Wagner
Great Basin Naturalist
Historical accounts and matched photographs indicate sharp decline of once-abundant Kochia americana in eastern Great Basin vegetation since the early 1900s, most of the decline by the late 1950s. Exclosure data show further decline from 1957 to 1973, then some increase between 1970 and 1973 and 1976 and 1981. Utah sheep numbers, at maximum from 1925 to 1940 and declining steadily to the 1970s, may have induced the long-term changes. Black-tailed jackrabbits (Lepus californicus), could not have induced vegetation decline, but could have added to livestock pressure and abetted the trend. In 1972, rabbits near a cyclic high …

A Preliminary Classification Of The Natural Vegetation Of Colorado, William L. Baker
A Preliminary Classification Of The Natural Vegetation Of Colorado, William L. Baker
Great Basin Naturalist
A classification of the natural vegetation of Colorado is presented. This classification, which uses the Plant Association as the basic unit, was developed by sorting data in the scientific literature, supplemented by field research. The classification uses a standardized nomenclature. Citations are given for the literature from Colorado and adjoining states for each Association. The classification includes a total of 403 Plant Associations, with 28 Angiosperm Forests/Woodlands, 2 Mixed Angiosperm–Gymnosperm Forests/Woodlands, 114 Gymnosperm Forests/Woodlands, 100 Shrub Associations, 74 Grassland Associations, 38 Graminoid Associations, and 47 Herb Associations.
