A Comparison Of The Forest Floras Along The Des Moines And Missouri Rivers, John M. Aikman, Charles L. Gilly

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A cursory examination of the deciduous forest of eastern North America, at intervals from its center (14) in the Ohio River basin westward, discloses changes in the structure of the forest characterized chiefly by a reduction in number of species and in the abundance and size of the component trees. Beyond the Mississippi river in Iowa and eastern Nebraska the forest flora is concentrated chiefly along streams flowing diagonally southeastward. Bordering these streams the deciduous forest extends into the prairie.

The Family Boraginaceae In Iowa - A Preliminary Report, Charles L. Gilly, Evelyn K. O'Brian

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Except for the annotated list published by Cratty in "The Iowa Flora" (1933), there has been no publication dealing with the entire family Boraginaceae in Iowa. · On the basis of only the Iowa State College herbarium, Cratty listed thirteen species of the family known to occur in the state; three of these were indicated as introductions from Europe or Asia. Prior to the appearance of Cratty's list, certain species of the family had been included in local and county lists,¹ and in Cratty's paper on the immigrant flora of Iowa ( 1929), while Conard and Clarke ( 1929) …

The Iowa Lakeside Laboratory - A Prairieless Field Laboratory, Ada Hayden

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Iowa is a prairie state and thus her institutions and students must wrestle with problems growing out of prairie environment. Slightly more than a hundred years ago, about five-sixths of the state consisted of virgin grassland. For thousands of years the prairie vegetation together with air, weather, and water in the course of time, has been making soil; as season after season, organic matter has been deposited among the particles of pulverized rock. Most of the prairie which lived in centuries past, now lies below the surface of the soil; and with the removal of the sod by cultivation, the …

The Flora Of Iowa - A Progress Report Based On Past Contributions, Charles L. Gilly

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

All one of the basic preliminaries in a plan for the ultimate preparation of a flora of Iowa, a survey of Iowa botanical literature has been undertaken in an attempt to assay the status of our knowledge of the state flora. Three aspects of this knowledge were kept in mind during the literature search: (a) general, regional and county floras, (b) the comparison of areas, and (c) taxonomic treatments of specific families and genera of plants. Only the ferns and the flowering plants were included in this literature survey, the mosses and liverworts having been recently summarized by Conard (1945a, …

An Annotated Checklist Of The Homobasidiomycetes Of Iowa, Phyllis D. Gardner

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The Homobasidiomycetes comprises those Basidiomycetes characterized by simple basidia and basidiospores which do not, as a rule, germinate by repetition but produce a mycelium directly. According to the current treatment followed in this laboratory, there are seven recognized orders, all of which occur in Iowa. One order, the Exobasidiales, is characterized by the absence of a fruiting body, the place of that structure being taken by the parasitized tissues of the host. Of those orders in which a basidiocarp is present, the Agaricales possesses a hymenium or fruiting layer often exposed from the beginning and always before the spores are …

A Progress Report On The Preservation Of The Prairie, Ada Hayden

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In accord with the specifications of the Prairie Project sponsored by the Iowa Academy of Science, the following recommendations for preservation of prairie have been co-operatively formulated; a number of the most desirable remaining tracts of prairie representative of virgin soils, flora, and fauna have been described and photographed. Not all of the tracts reported in the survey of the state by counties have been yet inspected.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PRESERVATION OF PRAIRIE: The preceding brief report on Prairie Areas in Iowa, (Hayden, 1941) which should be preserved has shown: 1. That preservation of representative, selected prairie areas is a practical …

An Ice-Push Ridge, W. A. Anderson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The phenomenon of ice-push ridges on lake shores is a fairly common one, and the enormous pressures developed by ice need no comment. All of the lakes in the Okoboji region show ice-push ridges along their shores, with effects that persist for several years. Shimek (1915, Pl. VI, Fig. 3) included an excellent picture of such a ridge in his Plant Geography of the Lake Okoboji Region.

Iowa's Contribution To American Men Of Science, Seventh Edition, H. E. Zabel

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The latest directory has appeared during the war when many fields of science are marking time and when we have adopted a policy of interrupting the production of scientists. It thus becomes a landmark and an analysis of the data it presents has special significance. In this directory Iowa has not only maintained her position among the leading states in production of scientists but has slightly improved this relative standing.

Vegetation And Agriculture Of Liberia And Adjacent West Africa, Robert M. Warner

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This paper treats agriculture in its broadest sense, including the useful plant products of the native vegetation as well as those which are actually cultivated by the native peoples. The vegetation, climate, and geography, as well as the agriculture of Liberia, are intimately related to that of the whole West Africa. For this reason the discussion, although chiefly concerned with Liberia, is not confined to its narrow boundaries. As the native vegetation is considered, the natural products from it are discussed.

Teaching The Earth Sciences, Neil A. Miner

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The "earth sciences", geology and geography, represent the "patriarch" and the "youth" in their life span as fields of knowledge. Geography is an old science while geology is a relatively new arrival on the scene of learning. Geography dates back to the ancients while modern geology appeared only a little over a century ago, yet they are destined to walk one with the other. The geographer is interested primarily in the surface of the earth and its inhabitants while the geologist is concerned mainly with the earth as a whole. Still the one is dependent upon the other and man …
