Effects Of Large Wood Additions On Basal Resources, Macroinvertebrates, And Ecosystem Processes In The Narraguagus River, Maine, Val Watson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Ecological restoration is an increasingly common practice across ecosystems, and current practices aim to restore the biological and physical processes underlying ecosystem function, often for the sake of endangered higher-level consumers. Studies of restoration outcomes often report few or inconsistent ecological changes, and monitoring of restoration projects rarely measures ecological processes. Monitoring also usually measures outcomes at a single scale, despite the prevalence of scale- dependent phenomena across ecosystems. My thesis uses measurements of ecological processes to assess restoration response and evaluates responses across multiple scales. I focus here on a long-term large wood addition project on the Narraguagus River …
Mammals Of Maine, Ralph S. Palmer
Mammals Of Maine, Ralph S. Palmer
Honors College
The present paper was undertaken in order that the compiler might gain a slight knowledge of Maine mammals and the literature pertaining to this branch of zoology. It was undertaken as a "major honors" course at the University of Maine for the school year of 1936-1937. It is possible that a perusal of this paper will reveal to others the striking scarcity of information on many of our mammalian forms. All the endemic forms known to have occurred in Maine within historic times are listed. Some of these forms are extirpated at the present time. Introduced species are not treated.
