Tree To Chips To Red Meat To Steaks, It Serves As Emergency Livestock Feed, Les Kamstra Jul 1977

Tree To Chips To Red Meat To Steaks, It Serves As Emergency Livestock Feed, Les Kamstra

Aspen Bibliography

We must be resourceful. Our "natural" resources are becoming scarcer every day, while waste products mushroom in dumps, along roadsides, in the water and air.


The Influence Of Predator Control On Two Adjacent Wintering Deer Herds, Dennis D. Austin, Philip J. Urness, Michael L. Wolfe Mar 1977

The Influence Of Predator Control On Two Adjacent Wintering Deer Herds, Dennis D. Austin, Philip J. Urness, Michael L. Wolfe

Aspen Bibliography

An unknown number of deer are continually killed on summer and winter ranges by predators, and in at least some locations these losses are significant.


Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project Environmental Impact Statement : Appendix G: Recreation Resources, Northern Maine Regional Planning Commission, Land Use Consultants, Inc., New England Division, U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers Jan 1977

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project Environmental Impact Statement : Appendix G: Recreation Resources, Northern Maine Regional Planning Commission, Land Use Consultants, Inc., New England Division, U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project

This report is to evaluate and describe the existing recreational use and resources of the project area and the encompassing study area and to project the future use of those resources both with and without the Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project. The primary impact area of the proposed project (project area) includes the St. John River watershed upstream of the proposed damsites to the confluence of Nine-mile Brook. The area is bounded by the watershed divide with the Allagash River on the east and the Canadian Border on the west.


Visual Detection Of Cryptic Prey By Blue Jays (Cyanocitta Cristata), Alexandra T. Pietrewicz, Alan Kamil Jan 1977

Visual Detection Of Cryptic Prey By Blue Jays (Cyanocitta Cristata), Alexandra T. Pietrewicz, Alan Kamil

Avian Cognition Papers

Blue jays learned to respond differentially to the presence or absence of Catocala moths in slides. This detection of the moths by the jays was affected by the background upon which the moth was placed and its body orientation, thus providing an objective measure of crypticity. These procedures are useful for the study of visual detection of prey.


Biomass Estimation For Some Shrubs From Northeastern Minnesota, David F. Grigal, Lewis F. Ohmann Jan 1977

Biomass Estimation For Some Shrubs From Northeastern Minnesota, David F. Grigal, Lewis F. Ohmann

Aspen Bibliography

Biomass prediction equations were developed for 23 northeastern Minnesota shrub species. The allometric function was used to predict leaf, current annual woody twig, stem, and total woody biomass (dry grams), using stem diameter class estimated to the nearest 0.25 cm class at 15 cm above ground level as the independent variable.


Biomasse D'Un Peuplement De Peuplier Faux-Tremble Age Six Ans, René Doucet Jan 1977

Biomasse D'Un Peuplement De Peuplier Faux-Tremble Age Six Ans, René Doucet

Aspen Bibliography

The establishment of an experiment designed to study the effect of thinning and fertilization in a 6 year-old trembling aspen stand, provided the opportunity to determine the mass of the standing crop present at the age.

Forest Insect And Disease Management : Aspen Mortality At The Maroon Lake Campground, David W. Johnson, Thomas E. Hinds Jan 1977

Forest Insect And Disease Management : Aspen Mortality At The Maroon Lake Campground, David W. Johnson, Thomas E. Hinds

Aspen Bibliography

At the request of the White River National Forest, Dave Johnson, Plant Pathologist, FI&DM and Tom Hinds, Plant Pathologist, RMFRES, made an evaluation of aspen mortality in the Maroon Lake Campground, Aspen Ranger District during June 13 to 15, 1977. Previously, Hinds (1976) reported accelerated aspen loss in 17 campgrounds, including Maroon Lake, located throughout Colorado and New Mexico (Fig. 1).

Vegetation And Environmental Features Of Forest And Range Ecosystems, George A. Garrison, Ardell J. Bjugstad, Don A. Duncan, Mont E. Lewis, Dixie R. Smith

Aspen Bibliography

This is one of the reports developed as part of the Forest-Range Environmental Study (FRES) of the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. This report presents descriptive sketches of 34 soil-vegetation units, called ecosystems. These cover all the land area of the 48 contiguous States.


Jack Pine And Aspen Forest Floors In Northeastern Minnesota, Robert M. Loomis Jan 1977

Jack Pine And Aspen Forest Floors In Northeastern Minnesota, Robert M. Loomis

Aspen Bibliography

Characteristics of upland forest floors under mature jack pine and aspen in northeastern Minnesota were investigated.
