High Latitude Plasma Convection: Predictions For Eiscat And Sondre Stromfjord, Jan Josef Sojka, W. John Raitt, Robert W. Schunk Jan 1979

High Latitude Plasma Convection: Predictions For Eiscat And Sondre Stromfjord, Jan Josef Sojka, W. John Raitt, Robert W. Schunk

All Physics Faculty Publications

We have used a plasma convection model to predict diurnal patterns of horizontal drift velocities in the vicinity of the EISCAT incoherent scatter facility at Tromso, Norway and for Sondre Stromfjord, Greenland, a proposed new incoherent scatter facility site. The convection model includes the offset of 11.4° between the geographic and geomagnetic poles (northern hemisphere), the tendency of plasma to corotate about the geographic pole, and a magnetospheric electric field mapped to a circle about a center offset by 5° in the antisunward direction from the magnetic pole. Four different magnetospheric electric field configurations were considered, including a constant cross‐ …

Coal Resource Occurrence And Coal Development Potential Maps Of The Southeast Quarter Of The Hiawatha 15-Minute Quadrangle Emery County, Utah, United States Geological Survey

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

This report was compiled to support the land planning work of the Bureau of Land Management and to provide a systematic coal resource inventory of Federal coal lands in Known Recoverable Coal Resource Areas (KRCRA's) in the Western United States. It supplements the land planning requirements of the Federal Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-377) sec. (3)(B) which states, in part, that "Each land-use plan prepared by the Secretary [of the Interior] (or in the case of lands within the National Forest System, the Secretary of Agriculture pursuant to sub-paragraph (A)(i)) shall include an assessment of the …

Blm Utah Final Initial Wilderness Inventory, United States Bureau Of Land Management Jan 1979

Blm Utah Final Initial Wilderness Inventory, United States Bureau Of Land Management

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

In the BLM Wilderness Program, only inventory is completed without consideration of other uses of the land. The wilderness inventory is only for the purpose of determining the presence of wilderness characteristics. It is on that basis that wilderness study areas will be identified. The comparison of wilderness values with other resource values is not part of the wilderness inventory process. It is a valid and necessary part of phase two study. When we enter phase two, the latter part of 1980, it will be imperative for us to consider and resolve whether the orderly development or wise preservation within …


A Search For Phytotoxins Influencing Germination And Early Growth Of Ponderosa Pine, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service Jan 1979

A Search For Phytotoxins Influencing Germination And Early Growth Of Ponderosa Pine, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service

Forestry

A series of laboratory and field experiments were conducted to determine if mature ponderosa pines produce a substance (phytotoxin) that inhibits the germination and growth of seedlings directly under the tree crown. Neither live nor dead materials collected from ponderosa pines produced either volatile or water-soluble phytotoxins that drastically inhibited germination of seeds or growth of seedlings. Seed overwintering beneath the canopy of mature pine, or planted in soils collected there, showed reduced germination. Exact cause of the reduction was not determined. If weak phytotoxins were responsible, they did not inhibit growth of seedlings that germinated.


Influence Of Some Environmental Factors On Initial Establishment And Growth Of Ponderosa Pine Seedlings, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service Jan 1979

Influence Of Some Environmental Factors On Initial Establishment And Growth Of Ponderosa Pine Seedlings, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service

Forestry

Study plots were established to determine the effects of various environmental factors on ponderosa pine seed germination and initial seedling establishment and growth. A series of soil surface treatments were performed on plots in two locations: within or under the influence of overstory pine trees and in openings away from the pine influence. Seed germination was significantly greater in the opening plots. The overstory canopy and forest floor restricted the amounts of precipitation, light, and heat reaching the soil and probably decreased germination. Cutworms, birds, and small mammals caused the greatest seedling mortality. The largest seedlings occurred in the fire-treated …


Quaking Aspen - Seed Germination And Early Seedling Growth, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service Jan 1979

Quaking Aspen - Seed Germination And Early Seedling Growth, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service

Forestry

The suckering of aspen (Populus tremuliodes Michx.) as a highly effective means of vegetative propagation is well known and has been widely studied (Baker 1918; Day 1944; Maini 1967; Schier 1974). Less is known about seed propagation, sometimes viewed as having only minor importance because early research (Baker 1918) had indicated that rare seedling establishment was due to low or nonexistent germinability.


Nutrient Losses From Timber Harvesting In A Larch/Douglas-Fir Forest, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service Jan 1979

Nutrient Losses From Timber Harvesting In A Larch/Douglas-Fir Forest, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service

Forestry

Nutrient levels as a result of experimental clearcutting, shelterwood cutting, and group selection cutting--each with three levels of harvesting intensity--were studied in a larch-fir forest in northwest Montana, experimentally logged with a skyline system. None of the treatments altered nutrient levels in an intermittent stream, nor were excessive amounts of nutrients lost in soil below the root zone. Under conditions on this site, skyline logging did not result in surface erosion or nutrient losses that would affect forest management.


Sucker Regeneration In A Utah Aspen Clone After Clearcutting, Partial Cutting, Scarification, And Girdling, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service Jan 1979

Sucker Regeneration In A Utah Aspen Clone After Clearcutting, Partial Cutting, Scarification, And Girdling, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service

Forestry

Clearcutting, partial cutting, scarification, and girdling were used to stimulate root suckering in a Utah aspen clone. Regeneration was inventoried yearly during the first 4 years after treatment and again after 12 years. Clearcutting resulted in the greatest number of suckers. In most years, partial cuts (cuts that removed 67 percent of the basal area) had less than 50 percent as much regeneration as the clearcut plots. Girdling stimulated suckering to a lesser degree than cutting. Mortality was high on girdled plots and by the 12th year after treatment few suckers had survived. Scarification had no apparent effect on sucker …


Heat Content Of Bark, Twigs, And Foliage Of Nine Species Of Western Conifers, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service Jan 1979

Heat Content Of Bark, Twigs, And Foliage Of Nine Species Of Western Conifers, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service

Forestry

Comparative combustion tests showed that bark, twigs, and foliage of nine commercial timber species in the Northern Rocky Mountains generally produce more heat than equal volumes of their ovendry wood and that these parts of harvested trees could be profitably utilized as a source of energy.


Uneven-Aged Forest Management: State Of The Art (Or Science?) Jan 1979

Uneven-Aged Forest Management: State Of The Art (Or Science?)

Forestry

Examines some important historical factors that have caused widespread preference of the even-aged management system over the uneven-aged. Major decisions facing forest managers interested in applying uneven-aged management are defined, and a review is made of techniques traditionally used, or recently proposed, for use in making these decisions. Finally, problem areas needing further research and development are identified.
