Presettlement Vegetation And Vegetational Change In Three Valleys In Central Utah, Earl M. Christensen, Hyrum B. Johnson Aug 1964

Presettlement Vegetation And Vegetational Change In Three Valleys In Central Utah, Earl M. Christensen, Hyrum B. Johnson

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

Historical information, survey records, and relict vegetation were used as sources of data for determining the nature of the presettlement vegetation of Pavant, Round, and Juab Valleys in central Utah. The foothills were covered with bunch grasses (principally Agropyron spicatum and Poa secunda), scattered junipers (Juniperus utahensis), and sagebrush (Artemisia tridentate). Western wheatgrass (Agropyron smithii) was common on level areas within the foothills. Below the foothill region on the more gentle slopes and benchlands there was a broad belt dominated by bunch grasses. The grassy area intergraded into a zone dominated by northern …

Ecology Of Summer Aquatic Invertebrate Populations In A Marsh Area Of Utah Lake, David A. White Aug 1963

Ecology Of Summer Aquatic Invertebrate Populations In A Marsh Area Of Utah Lake, David A. White

Theses and Dissertations

Mud Lake marsh lies east of Utah Lake between the cities of Provo and Springville in Utah County. Since 1936 it has become a polluted, odiferous, silted area. A study was conducted on the aquatic invertebrates during the summer of 1962 (June 19 to September 20). An .01 meter2 bottom sampler was used at 30 random stations. Each station was sampled once a week. Water depth, mud, water and air temperatures were taken at each station. Dissolved oxygen (Winkler method) and ion resistance (Wheatstone bridge) were taken each day. The aquatic invertebrate community consisted of benthic (Diptera, Oligochaeta, Nematoda), interphashic …


The Darkling Beetles Of The Nevada Test Site (Coleoptera - Tenebrionidae), Willis A. Packham Jul 1963

The Darkling Beetles Of The Nevada Test Site (Coleoptera - Tenebrionidae), Willis A. Packham

Theses and Dissertations

In the desert areas of southwestern United States the Coleoptera, family Tenebrionidae, constitute a conspicuous part of the ground-dwelling insects. Most species are black or dull chestnut-brown. They are primarily nocturnal and during the day can be found under rocks, debris, loose bark, or in rodent burrows. On cloudy days they may be seen lumbering along the desert floor. Most tenebrionids feed on plant materials of various sorts. In August, 1959, Brigham Young University initiated an ecological study at the Nevada Test Site near Mercury in Nye County, Nevada. As part of that study, emphasis was given to the ground-dwelling …

Biotic Communities Of The Nevada Test Site, Dorald M. Allred, D Elden Beck, Clive D. Jorgensen Feb 1963

Biotic Communities Of The Nevada Test Site, Dorald M. Allred, D Elden Beck, Clive D. Jorgensen

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

This paper consitutes a terminal report to the United States Atomic Energy Commission for Contract AT(11-1)786.

An Ecological Study Of An Exclosure In The Mountain Brush Vegetation Of The Wasatch Mountains, Utah, Elray S. Nixon Aug 1961

An Ecological Study Of An Exclosure In The Mountain Brush Vegetation Of The Wasatch Mountains, Utah, Elray S. Nixon

Theses and Dissertations

This is a comparative study of the vegetation and soils of an exclosure in the mountain brush vegetation of the Wasatch Mountains, Utah. The exclosure was fenced and initially analyzed during the summers of 1949-1950. The study area is located in Pole Canyon in the Uinta National Forest, a few miles northeast of Provo, Utah. The dominant woody species of the vegetation in the exclosure are big toothed maple (Acer grandidentatum) and Gambel oak (Quercus gambelii). After settlement of the area in and around Provo, Pole Canyon became overgrazed by livestock. Since 1949 the area has been protected from grazing. …

The Aquatic Plants Of Central Utah And Their Distribution, Gerald E. Bessey May 1960

The Aquatic Plants Of Central Utah And Their Distribution, Gerald E. Bessey

Theses and Dissertations

It was the purpose of this study to determine what aquatic plants were common to central Utah and to outline the ecological factors that control their distribution. The main emphasis throughout has been upon the more macroscopic aquatic plants. Such algae were included as was warranted by their size,, abundance and importance in the various habitats in which they grew. As this study progressed it became evident that there was a need for a broad survey-type study of the aquatic plants that would include essentially all of the wet lands of the central Utah region. The area of study closely …


A Study Of Selected Factors Which Influence Latter-Day Saint And Non-Latter-Day Saint Students To Attend The Church College Of Hawaii, Daniel G. Witt Jan 1960

A Study Of Selected Factors Which Influence Latter-Day Saint And Non-Latter-Day Saint Students To Attend The Church College Of Hawaii, Daniel G. Witt

Theses and Dissertations

The object of this study is to examine some of the influences associated with the decisions of Latter-day Saint and non-Latter-day Saint students to attend The Church College of Hawaii. Social scientists have found that an important aspect of any decision situation is a person's orientation to that situation. Such orientations may often have their basis in the child's early relationships with his parents.

Mammals Of The Lynndyl, Utah, Sand Dune Area : A Population Problem, Hugh J. Phillips Aug 1955

Mammals Of The Lynndyl, Utah, Sand Dune Area : A Population Problem, Hugh J. Phillips

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the kinds, population, distribution, and general habits of the mammals of the Lynndyl sand dune area. Only one article concerning the dunes was found, but several have been written on other dunes; however, none was found concerning mammals. Two quantitative studies, plot and transect trappings, were made and general observations were taken within the study area. Three types of plots; Russian thistle, juniper, and baren moving dunes; were trapped and revealed the following species: Dipodomys ordii, Peromyscus maniculatus, Reithrodontomys megalotis, Onychomys leucogaster, and Neotoma lepida. The most numerous animal in all plots …

Ecology Of Passerine Birds Wintering At Utah Lake, Joseph R. Murphy Jun 1951

Ecology Of Passerine Birds Wintering At Utah Lake, Joseph R. Murphy

Theses and Dissertations

During the period of October to April of the winter of 1950-51, an ecological study was undertaken of a population or passerine birds wintering in a segment of the Utah Lake Shore. Available winter weather data indicated that although such factors as precipitation, temperature, and wind may often be severe, they are not critical enough to prevent a fairly large population of passerine birds from spending the winter months in the study locale. Five fairly distinct plant communities can be recognized in the area. There is evidence which indicates that certain passerine bird species are especially dependent on a particular …

An Ecological Study Of A Sphagnum Lake In The Subalpine Forest Of The Uinta Mountains Of Utah, Howard C. Stutz

Theses and Dissertations

A study was made of the ecology and floristics of a small bog lake referred to as Moss Lake, in the Grandaddy lakes region of the Uinta Mountains , Utah . Three consecutive summers, 1948, 1949, and 1950, were spent in collecting the data presented in this study. Throughout the study the following ecological measurements were made: 1. Water 2. Soil 3. Macroscopic vegetation 4. Plankton 5. Macroscopic animal forms.


A Preliminary Study Of The Distribution Of Fleas In Utah Known To Be Capable And Potential Vectors Of Plague, Dorald M. Allred Jun 1951

A Preliminary Study Of The Distribution Of Fleas In Utah Known To Be Capable And Potential Vectors Of Plague, Dorald M. Allred

Theses and Dissertations

Plague outbreaks in the past have been disastrous where domestic rats and their fleas of certain species were common. Plague has been known to occur in most parts of the world (Robertson 1923), and has occurred as human epidemics for many centuries (Dubos 1948).


Alpine Plant Succession Near Mount Emmons, Uinta Mountains, Utah, Joseph R. Murdock May 1951

Alpine Plant Succession Near Mount Emmons, Uinta Mountains, Utah, Joseph R. Murdock

Theses and Dissertations

It was to provide some detailed information about the alpine flora , particularly as it relates to successional aspects , that the present study was undertaken . The environmental conditions of weather and soil , as they effect floral composition , are important factors in the plant succession or alpine communities . The investigation was designed to uncover such information about the alpine flora and environment necessary to establish the pattern of succession .
