Recommended Species For Vegetative Stabilization Of Training Lands In Arid And Semi-Arid Environments, United States Department Of Defense, Army Corps Of Engineers Sep 1985

Recommended Species For Vegetative Stabilization Of Training Lands In Arid And Semi-Arid Environments, United States Department Of Defense, Army Corps Of Engineers

Plants

Maintaining natural resources on western military installations has received increasing attention in recent years. Of special interest are training ranges where the environmental impact of tracked and wheeled vehicles is significant. Revegetation and soil stabilization on the arid and semi-arid regions of these western installations require special techniques. This report identifies key plant species that may be useful to installation land managers seeking to maintain or rehabilitate training land in these areas. The plant species are described in terms of their regional and environmental adaptations, limitations, uses, establishment requirements, and availability. In addition, recommendations for short- and long-term revegetation efforts …

The Role Of Fire In Aspen Ecology, Norbert V. Debyle Jan 1985

The Role Of Fire In Aspen Ecology, Norbert V. Debyle

Aspen Bibliography

The tree with the widest range in North America, quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), occurs on more than 7 million acres (2.86 million ha) in the nine interior Western States (Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, and Nevada). About 65 percent of the land is in public ownership; this includes many acres of wilderness at mid to high elevations.

Vegetation Associations In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, Walter F. Mueggler Jan 1985

Vegetation Associations In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, Walter F. Mueggler

Aspen Bibliography

Aspen trees grow along moist stream bottoms as well as on dry ridges and southerly exposures, on talus slopes, and on shallow to deep soils of varied origins. Quaking aspen is one of the few plant species that can grow in all mountain vegetational zones from the alpine to the basal plain (Daubenmire 1943). As a consequence, aspen dominated communities are found intermixed with such divergent vegetation as semiarid shrublands and wet sprucefir forests

Wood Utilization In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, E.M. Wengert, D.M. Donelly, D.C. Markstrom, H.E. Worth

Aspen Bibliography

In the past, markets for quaking aspen timber from the Rocky Mountains have been insufficient to support significant harvesting. This shortage of markets severely restrained the potential for aspen management. As a result, many stands protected from wildfire gradually reverted to conifers (see the VEGETATIVE REGENERATION and FIRE chapters).

Ruffed Grouse Habitat Relationships In Aspen And Oak Forests Of Central Wisconsin Usa, J.F. Kubisiak Jan 1985

Ruffed Grouse Habitat Relationships In Aspen And Oak Forests Of Central Wisconsin Usa, J.F. Kubisiak

Aspen Bibliography

Ruffed grouse habitat requirements and management opportunities have been defined by Bump et al. (1947), Grange (1948), Dorney (1959), Gullion at al. (1962), Moulton (1968), and Gullion (1972), among others. It is generally agreed that interspersion of cover types and age classes is one of the keys to better grouse populations.

Genetics And Variation In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, J.R. Jones, N.V. Debyle Jan 1985

Genetics And Variation In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, J.R. Jones, N.V. Debyle

Aspen Bibliography

The broad genotypic variability in quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.), that results in equally broad phenotypic variability among clones is important to the ecology and management of this species. This chapter considers principles of aspen genetics and variation. variation in aspen over its range, and local variation among clones. For a more detailed review of the genetics of qualung aspen, especially with wider geographic application and with emphasis on tree breeding, see Einspahr and Winton (1976).

Esthetics And Landscaping In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, Craig W. Johnson, Thomas C. Brown, Michael L. Timmons Jan 1985

Esthetics And Landscaping In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, Craig W. Johnson, Thomas C. Brown, Michael L. Timmons

Aspen Bibliography

Aspen is valued for its scenic beauty. One indication of this is the trips to the "high country" that many forest visitors make to view the autumn color changes (fig. 1). Another is the frequency with which aspen is planted in urban and suburban areas. Subjective generalizations about the esthetic uses of aspen, although reasonable, provide only rough guidance for management of scenic quality. They can not be used to compare the relative beauty of different scenes, or to determine how much scenic beauty changes as the physical characteristics of the scene change, either naturally or as the result of …
