Demand for household furniture is shaped by a multitude of dynamic forces, from the global economic situation to subtle changes in consumer preferences. Correspondingly, the academic disciplines employed to identify, analyze, and predict these forces range from macroeconomics to psychology, and include demography, sociology, geography, and several applied fields. The demographic characteristics of furniture consumers has been a particularly popular area of research, primarily because of the availability of secondary data from various public · agencies. Some of this research is reviewed in a subsequent section of this report.
Hardwoods In North Mississippi: Resource Information From Two Forest Surveys, Steven H. Bullard, Clay Robertson, Joshua Idassi, Joanne L. Faulkner
Hardwoods In North Mississippi: Resource Information From Two Forest Surveys, Steven H. Bullard, Clay Robertson, Joshua Idassi, Joanne L. Faulkner

The USDA Forest Service periodically conducts forest surveys for Mississippi and other states. Survey results for a 26-county area designated as "North Mississippi" were most recently published in late 1993. We compared the hardwood acreages, volume, growth, removals and other values to the survey results published in 1987 for this region, and several significant results are evident:
Root Growth Potential And Field Survival Of Container Loblolly Pine Seedlings Fall Fertilized With Nitrogen, Hans Michael Williams, David B. South
Root Growth Potential And Field Survival Of Container Loblolly Pine Seedlings Fall Fertilized With Nitrogen, Hans Michael Williams, David B. South

Two studies investigated the effects of fall nitrogen fertilizer applications on the root growth potential (RGP) and field performance of container loblolly pine seedlings (Pinus taeda L.). The seedlings were sampled at 4 chilling levels ranging from 100 to 550 hours (0 to 8' C). Seedlings propagated for the first study may have had a hidden nutrient deficiency and therefore the fall diammonium phosphate (DAP) application at rates of 202 kg N/ha and 67 kg N/ha increased RGP 43% and 32%, respectively. The growing season mineral fertilizer application rate was increased in the second study which may explain why nitrogen …
Clearcutting And Shearing On A Saline Soil In East Texas: Impacts On Soil Physical Properties, Chang Mingteh, Alexander K. Sayok, Kenneth G. Watterson
Clearcutting And Shearing On A Saline Soil In East Texas: Impacts On Soil Physical Properties, Chang Mingteh, Alexander K. Sayok, Kenneth G. Watterson

Soil samples, or in-situ measurements, were collected at seven occasions and at six depths to study the Impact of three forest conditions on soil physical properties of a saline soil in E. Texas. Soil bulk density, CW. of silt plus clay at the surface horizons, soil water content, soil water retention, and depth to groundwater Increased following intensive site preparation. Differences in these properties between the commercial clearcuttlng and undisturbed forest were small. The wet soil conditions created in the Intensive preparation site are not likely to be responsible for the failure of artificial pine regeneration. In areas where site …

Evaluation Of Pilot Interpretive Program For National Forest Recreation Areas In East Texas, Michael Legg, Ronda Sutphen
Faculty Publications
Visitor surveys were conducted at Ratcliff and Double lake Recreation Areas to evaluate visitor characteristics and effectiveness of interpretive services as a management tool. Two hundred eighty-two campers completed the survey. Dat8 from both recreation areas were analyzed and compared in order to determine significant differences between visitors in recreation area and also between visitors who attended or did not attend interpretive programs.
Wilderness Planning: A Case Study In Dispute Resolution, Michael Legg, Marlene Rebori Tull
Wilderness Planning: A Case Study In Dispute Resolution, Michael Legg, Marlene Rebori Tull
Faculty Publications
Local landowners and environmental groups have historically disputed with the USDA National Forest Service in Texas over wilderness management issues such as wild and prescribed fire and management of the southern pine beetle (Dendroctonusfrontalis). To help diffuse polarization and open lines of communication between agency personnel and the general public, the theory of transactive planning was applied with the LAC process on two wilderness areas. Data collection consisted of: 1) participant observation; 2) issue-evaluation surveys; 3) process-evaluation surveys; and 4) exit interviews. Results indicate the planning process aids in dispute resolution by reducing antagonistic relationships and fostering public consensus in …
