Demand for household furniture is shaped by a multitude of dynamic forces, from the global economic situation to subtle changes in consumer preferences. Correspondingly, the academic disciplines employed to identify, analyze, and predict these forces range from macroeconomics to psychology, and include demography, sociology, geography, and several applied fields. The demographic characteristics of furniture consumers has been a particularly popular area of research, primarily because of the availability of secondary data from various public · agencies. Some of this research is reviewed in a subsequent section of this report.

fusiform rust ( Cronatrium quercuum [Berk. ] Miyabe ex Shirai f . sp . tusiforme L. ) is a devastating disease in loblolly ( Pinus taeda L. ) and slash ( Pinus elliottii Englem. ) pine plantations throughout the southern United States . Pine stems infected with fusiform rust are subject to hazards such as wind breakage, and if a pine stem with a gall on it does survive to harvest, utilization of the infected stem piece may be down-graded from possible lumber to probable pulpwood or maybe completely discarded .
Validation Of An Instrument To Measure The Change In Ecological Vocabulary Of Teachers Attending Texas Environmental Education Advisory Committee Endorsed Programs, James Isleib
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
An instrument was developed and evaluated for measuring the effect of the Texas Environmental Education Advisory Committee (TEEAC) endorsed teacher inservice programs on participants' ecological vocabulary. Principal study objectives were to establish a basic ecological vocabulary essential to environmental education and evaluate the instrument's effectiveness in measuring change in participants' ecological vocabulary resulting from exposure to TEEAC programs. The Ecological Vocabulary Survey (EVS) was developed from 57 ecological terms. A comparison of EVS terms with terms selected by ecological and environmental education organizations indicated the EVS terms were essential to environmental education. A total of 148 matched pairs of pre …

Research Report No. 34, Influence Of Soil And Topography Features On Ability Of Land In East Texas To Grow Loblolly And Slash Pine Plantations, H. Alexis Ross, Andrew J. Londo, J. David Lenhart
Informal Project Reports
This research paper is specifically designed to assist East Texas agricultural landowners by attempting to provide some of the lnformation that may be needed for decisions concerning whether or not to establish. grow and harvest pine trees. Specifically, it provides information that may be useful to ascertain the ability of land In East Texas to produce planted loblolly ( Anus taeda L)and slash ( Pinus elliottii Engelm. ) pine trees Irrespective of present land use.

Hardwoods In North Mississippi: Resource Information From Two Forest Surveys, Steven H. Bullard, Clay Robertson, Joshua Idassi, Joanne L. Faulkner
Hardwoods In North Mississippi: Resource Information From Two Forest Surveys, Steven H. Bullard, Clay Robertson, Joshua Idassi, Joanne L. Faulkner
Faculty Publications
The USDA Forest Service periodically conducts forest surveys for Mississippi and other states. Survey results for a 26-county area designated as "North Mississippi" were most recently published in late 1993. We compared the hardwood acreages, volume, growth, removals and other values to the survey results published in 1987 for this region, and several significant results are evident:
Root Growth Potential And Field Survival Of Container Loblolly Pine Seedlings Fall Fertilized With Nitrogen, Hans Michael Williams, David B. South
Root Growth Potential And Field Survival Of Container Loblolly Pine Seedlings Fall Fertilized With Nitrogen, Hans Michael Williams, David B. South
Faculty Publications
Two studies investigated the effects of fall nitrogen fertilizer applications on the root growth potential (RGP) and field performance of container loblolly pine seedlings (Pinus taeda L.). The seedlings were sampled at 4 chilling levels ranging from 100 to 550 hours (0 to 8' C). Seedlings propagated for the first study may have had a hidden nutrient deficiency and therefore the fall diammonium phosphate (DAP) application at rates of 202 kg N/ha and 67 kg N/ha increased RGP 43% and 32%, respectively. The growing season mineral fertilizer application rate was increased in the second study which may explain why nitrogen …

Clearcutting And Shearing On A Saline Soil In East Texas: Impacts On Soil Physical Properties, Chang Mingteh, Alexander K. Sayok, Kenneth G. Watterson

Soil samples, or in-situ measurements, were collected at seven occasions and at six depths to study the Impact of three forest conditions on soil physical properties of a saline soil in E. Texas. Soil bulk density, CW. of silt plus clay at the surface horizons, soil water content, soil water retention, and depth to groundwater Increased following intensive site preparation. Differences in these properties between the commercial clearcuttlng and undisturbed forest were small. The wet soil conditions created in the Intensive preparation site are not likely to be responsible for the failure of artificial pine regeneration. In areas where site …

Visitor surveys were conducted at Ratcliff and Double lake Recreation Areas to evaluate visitor characteristics and effectiveness of interpretive services as a management tool. Two hundred eighty-two campers completed the survey. Dat8 from both recreation areas were analyzed and compared in order to determine significant differences between visitors in recreation area and also between visitors who attended or did not attend interpretive programs.
Wilderness Planning: A Case Study In Dispute Resolution, Michael Legg, Marlene Rebori Tull
Wilderness Planning: A Case Study In Dispute Resolution, Michael Legg, Marlene Rebori Tull
Faculty Publications
Local landowners and environmental groups have historically disputed with the USDA National Forest Service in Texas over wilderness management issues such as wild and prescribed fire and management of the southern pine beetle (Dendroctonusfrontalis). To help diffuse polarization and open lines of communication between agency personnel and the general public, the theory of transactive planning was applied with the LAC process on two wilderness areas. Data collection consisted of: 1) participant observation; 2) issue-evaluation surveys; 3) process-evaluation surveys; and 4) exit interviews. Results indicate the planning process aids in dispute resolution by reducing antagonistic relationships and fostering public consensus in …

Research Report No. 33, Climate And Growth, Christopher C. Brown, Hershel C. Reeves, J. David Lenhart
Informal Project Reports
Growth of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations in East Texas is influenced by many factors - soil, genetics , insects, diseases, associated vegetation and climate - to list a few items. Insights into the role that these factors contribute to the production of wood might assist East Texas plantation managers in establishing, growing and harvesting planted trees.

Project Report No. 39, Observed Average Characteristics Of Unthinned Loblolly And Slash Pine Plantations In East Texas, Kelly B. Scott, J. David Lenhart
Informal Project Reports
In September, 1994, the ETPP'RP1 published Report 31 (Observed growth rates of loblolly and slash pine plantations in East Texas). The purpose of that report was to tabulate four observed average annual growth rates: • Quadratic mean diameter, • Stand height, • Basal area per acre and • Cubic feet per acre of unthinned East Texas loblolly and slash pine plantations.
