The Challenge Of Producing Native Plants For The Intermountain Area, U.S. Forest Service Jan 1983

The Challenge Of Producing Native Plants For The Intermountain Area, U.S. Forest Service

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

Germination of wildland seeds is often dependent on proper seed collection and storage. A systematic approach to germination testing will often pinpoint the type of dormancy of seeds in wildland species and lead to germination enhancement.

Internal Filters : Prospects For Uv-Acclimation In Higher Plants, Martyn M. Caldwell, Ronald Robberecht, Stephan D. Flint Jan 1983

Internal Filters : Prospects For Uv-Acclimation In Higher Plants, Martyn M. Caldwell, Ronald Robberecht, Stephan D. Flint

Green Canyon Environmental Research Area, Logan Utah

Wavelength-selective absorption of solar radiation within plant leaves allows penetration of visible radiation to the chloroplats, while removing much of the damaging ultraviolet-B radiation. Flavonoids are important in this wavelength-selective absorption. Induction of flavonoid synthesis by solar radiation, and specifically by UV-B radiation, is discussed as this relates to the potential acclimation of plants to enhanced solar UV-B radiation that would result from stratospheric ozone reduction.

Development Of Microstructure In Set-Style Nonfat Yogurt - A Review, Miloslav Kalab, Paula Allan-Wojtas, Beverley E. Phipps-Todd Jan 1983

Development Of Microstructure In Set-Style Nonfat Yogurt - A Review, Miloslav Kalab, Paula Allan-Wojtas, Beverley E. Phipps-Todd

Food Structure

The development of microstructure in natural set-style nonfat yoghurt was stud i ed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In addition to thin-sectioning and conventional SEM described in the literature, this review illustrates gelation of milk with micrographs obtai ned by rotary shadowing of casein micelles and their clusters. The existence of void spaces occupied by lactic acid bacteria in yoghurt was con finned by cold-stage SEM of uncoa ted specimens. The microstructure of yoghurt is affected by the preheat treatment of milk, bacterial starter cultures, total solids content , and the presence of thickening agents. …

Effects Of Recreation (Trampling) On The Forest Floor And Associated Streams Of Aspen And Conifer Forests, M.C. Molles, J.R. Gosz, R.G. Cates Jan 1983

Effects Of Recreation (Trampling) On The Forest Floor And Associated Streams Of Aspen And Conifer Forests, M.C. Molles, J.R. Gosz, R.G. Cates

Aspen Bibliography

Heavy trampling significantly reduced the biomass of understory vegetation in aspen stands subject to different management procedures (thinning, fertilization). Light trampling also resulted in lower understory biomass except where it was performed in a fertilized aspen stand which had an understory community dominated by grasses. The grass community appears to be more resistant to trampling. Coverage by the understory was also reduced by both heavy and light trampling in aspen stands. The sparse understory of spruce-fir forests was not significantly changed. Trampling fragmented the forest floor in aspen but not in spruce-fir.
