Vascular Plants Near The Margins Of Their Range In Cedarburg Bog. Part 1. Gymnosperms And Monocots, James A. Reinartz, Gay E. Reinartz

Field Station Bulletins

Marginal populations are those located at the extreme or periphery of a species' range. In the context of this paper, marginal populations refer to a geographical periphery rather than to possible ecological margins. A wide ranging species may be composed of several different varieties or ecotypes. Marginal populations of plants are of special interest to plant taxonomists, ecologists, ecological geneticists and biogeographers because they may exhibit different characteristics than more centrally located populations. This is likely because plants at the boundaries of their species' range may experience extreme ecological conditions beyond which they cannot survive.

Aquatic Oligochaeta Of Mud Lake, And Its Inlet And Outlet Stream, Michael E. Smith, Jerry L. Kaster

Field Station Bulletins

Aquatic invertebrates of Wisconsin have been studied extensively, but until recently, little work has been done with aquatic oligochaetes (segmented worms). Much of the previous work was primarily concerned with the tubificid fauna of the Great Lakes (Hiltunen 1961; Howmiller 1972; Howmiller and Beeton 1910; Spencer 1980). Also, Howmiller (1914) described the aquatic Oligochaeta found in the inland waters of Wisconsin, and Howmiller and Loden (1916) provided additional information which contains the most current list of species found in Wisconsin. A study was carried out during May and June 1980 at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Field Station to …

Patterns Of Seedling Establishment In An Old Field, Patrick O'Donnell, Forest Stearns

Field Station Bulletins

Within 100 years after settlement began (ca. 1830), most forest land in the Milwaukee area had been influenced by agriculture. When the land was cleared for cultivation, trees were occasionally left along property boundaries, on steep slopes or in depressions. These trees served to shade the farmer and his livestock and break the wind. Beginning in the 1930's, urbanization and other changes in land use have resulted in abandonment of cultivated fields and pastures and their regrowth to forest or conversion to other uses. The isolated trees provided a continuing source of tree seed. The presence of an isolated tree …

Microorganisms In Milwaukee Rivers, Joseph Gergerich, Forest Stearns

Field Station Bulletins

Fecal coliform bacteria have long been used as indicators of water pollution (Standard Methods, 1976). However, factors that influence the coliform population in natural water bodies may alter the relationships between the coliform bacteria and fecal pollution and hence the usefulness of the organisims as indicators. This study examined the volunteer, non-native vegetation of urban Racine. Various sites were examined, some stable, others subject to continuous disturbance; plant communities were characterized and compared.

Microclimate Weather Data For 1978 And 1979 At The University Of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Field Station, Larry Smith, Steven Kroeger, Jim Reinartz

Field Station Bulletins

The UWM Field Station has measured precipitation, temperature, relative humidity, wind direction and speed, and barometric pressure continuously since December 29, 1969. These data were recorded at three weather stations each located within a different vegetation type all within 0.8 km of each other. The main station is located near the Field Station laboratory building in an open field. This station measures all of the above parameters. The two satellite stations, one in a beech-maple forest and the other in a tamarack-white cedar bog, measure precipitation, temperature, and relative humidity only. This paper summarizes and compares the data collected at …

Volunteer Urban Vegetation Of Racine, Wisconsin, Cecile Boehmer, Forest Stearns

Field Station Bulletins

We have only meagre knowledge of the composition and the functions performed by vegetation in Wisconsin cities. The records of the U.S. Government Land Survey conducted in the 1830s provide information on the presettlement vegetation. Likewise, the notes and letters of settlers and early residents speak of the plants they found here, or brought with them. We know less about the vegetation now growing in our cities.

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project Environmental Impact Statement: Appendix F: Terrestrial Ecosystem Analysis (Supplement 2), University Of Maine At Orono, Maine, Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit, United States Army Engineer Division, New England Division

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project

The overall study area encompassed the St. John River and its major tributaries; including the Little and Big Black Rivers (and their tributaries); and all lands extending 3.2 km (2 mi) beyond the maximum elevation of thv predicted impoundment of the Dickey Dam (1,560 km ). Research was concentra-ted in a portion of this area roughly bounded on the north by Chimenticook Stream, on the east by the St. John River, on the west by the United States-Canadian border, and on the south by a line drawn east-west through Seven Islands (Figure 1.0-1). Intensive marten studies were restricted to townships …

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project At Dickey, Maine : Final Environmental Statement, Volume 1-4, U. S. Army Engineer Division, New England

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project

The proposed Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project in northern Maine is a multipurpose installation on the St.John River. The combination hydroelectric power and flood control project is located in Aroostook County, Maine, near the Canadian border. The two proposed earth fill dams located at Dickey are 10,200 feet in length with a maximum height of 335 feet. They would impound 7.7 million acre feet of water at a maximum pool elevation 910 feet mean sea level. A second earth filled dam located 11 miles downstream at Lincoln School would serve as a regulatory dam. It would be 2100 feet in lenqth, …

Forestry For Wildlife Habitat Improvement. Nebraska Cooperative Extension Service Ec 81-1747, Ec 80-1747, Frank A. Hershey, Howard L. Wiegers

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

Wildlife cannot exist without food and protective cover. Natural and planted woodlands contribute significantly to these essentials. This circular describes habitat needs of wildlife, recommends forestry practices for habitat improvement, and gives examples of practices to improve habitat for pheasant, quail, and deer.

Variety, rather than uniformity of vegetation, benefits most wildlife species. Management which results in a diverse plant community with many stages of growth can increase the numbers and species of wildlife. Techniques which create improved conditions for woodland wildlife are fundamentally the same as those designed to grow good timber.

Stand Age Analysis Of Timber On Mississippi’S Private Nonindustrial Forests, Steven H. Bullard, G. H. Weaver, Willem W. S. Van Hees

Faculty Publications

Most of the current pine timber acreage in Mississippi developed through the reversion of large acreages of agricultural cropland to forestry. Now that cropland retirement has ceased, management practices must provide· for pine regeneration on existing forest lands. Harvesting practices that remove higher-valued pine timber from private, nonindustrial pine lands have created large acreages of poorly stocked, low quality hardwood stands.

Timber Severance Taxes In Mississippi, Steven H. Bullard, G. H. Weaver

Faculty Publications

Timber severance tax collections exceeded 2 million dollars in 1978 and 1979. Severance tax revenues are divided 25% to the state's general fund, 25% to the county where the tax was collected, and 50% to support the forest resource development program.. AU severance tax rates are fixed on a per unit volume basis except on poles, piling, and post: which are taxed on a percentage of value basis.

Clone Expansion And Competition Between Quaking And Bigtooth Aspen Suckers After Clearcutting, Donald A. Perala

Aspen Bibliography

The ability of quaking and bigtooth aspens (Populus tremuloids Michx., P. grandidentata Michx.) to vegetatively regenerate dense stands of root sprouts (suckers) is well documented (Brinkman and Roe 1975). Tens of thousands of suckers per hectare are commonly produced when stands are killed by fire or removed by clearcutting.

An Examination Of The Leaf Quaking Adaptation And Stomatal Distribution In Populus-Tremuloides, J.W. Rushin, J.E. Anderson

Aspen Bibliography

The leaves of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) have a flattened petiole that allows them to quake (oscillate and roll) under low wind velocities. It was hypothesized that this adaptation might enable the plant to respond to windy conditions that would increase transpirational losses. No effects of wind with or without leaf quaking on stomatal resistance were observed under controlled conditions in the field. If wind and leaf quaking affect stomatal resistance, such effects must be small in comparison to those caused by other factors such as leaf water potential and ambient humidity.

Aspen leaves are hypostomatal with stomata …
