While much of the flora of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park has been extensively studied, the lichens have been somewhat neglected. Degelius' Lichen Flora of the Great Smoky Mountains (1941) is the first, and until now the only extensive study of the lichens of this area. Sharp (1930) mentions Gyrophora dillenii (=Umbilicaria mammulata) from Mt. LeConte. Cain (1935), Mozingo (1954), Sierk (1958), and Hale (1961) mention several species from the Smokies. Mozingo (1961) gives keys to the genus Cladonia both in Eastern Tennessee and in the Great Smoky Mountains.
The descriptions and keys in this study have been compiled …

Concentrations Of Gamma-Emitting Fallout Radionuclides From Picea Rubens And Rhododendron Maximum Of The Great Smoky Mountains, William Kenneth Rudolph
Masters Theses
The testing of nuclear bombs and the subsequent release of radioactive fallout over the past 18 years has brought many problems related to the distribution of radioactive fallout and the affect of fallout on man and on his environment. The detonation of a nuclear devise produces some 170 radioactive isotopes. From these 170 isotopes there are seven gamma-ray-emitting fission products that have a half-life of such significant length that they are important in world-wide radioactive fallout problems (Table I, adapted from Mortensen, 1961).
It was the purpose of this study to measure the amount of fission produced gamma-emitting radionuclides in …
