Red-Cockaded Woodpeckers And Silvicultural Practice: Is Uneven-Aged? Silviculture Preferable To Even-Aged, D. Craig Rudolph, Richard N. Conner Jan 1996

Red-Cockaded Woodpeckers And Silvicultural Practice: Is Uneven-Aged? Silviculture Preferable To Even-Aged, D. Craig Rudolph, Richard N. Conner

Faculty Publications

The endangered red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) has become a high-profile management issue in the southeastern United States. Suitable habitat consists of mature to old pine, or mixed pine-hardwood forest, with minimal hardwood midstory vegetation. Loss of habitat, detrimental silvicultural practices, and changes in the fire regime have resulted in small fragmented populations, most of which have been declining precipitously in recent decades (Costa and Escano 1989, Conner and Rudolph 1989). The current population of l0-12 thousand birds occurs across much of the original range from Virginia and Florida west to Oklahoma and Texas (James 1995). However, populations are restricted to …

Deer Use Of Riparian Zones And Adjacent Pine Plantations In Texas, Micah L. Poteet, Ronald E. Thill, R. Montague Whiting Jr., R. Lee Rayburn Jan 1996

Deer Use Of Riparian Zones And Adjacent Pine Plantations In Texas, Micah L. Poteet, Ronald E. Thill, R. Montague Whiting Jr., R. Lee Rayburn

Faculty Publications

The authors monitored white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) use of riparian zones (RZ’s) and adjacent pine plantations of 3 age classes (young, 1 to 3 years old; intermediate, 5 to 7 years old; and older, 9 to 13 years old) using radio telemetry for 2 years on a 1,300 ha study area near Alto, TX. Riparian zones comprised 22.0 percent of the area; young, intermediate, and older pine plantations comprised 19.1 percent, 45.7 percent, and 13.2 percent, respectively. Based on data from 4 to 9 deer the first year and 12 to 17 deer the second year, home ranges averaged 103, …

The Land Expectation Value Calculated In Timberland Valuation, T. J. Straka, Steven H. Bullard Jan 1996

The Land Expectation Value Calculated In Timberland Valuation, T. J. Straka, Steven H. Bullard

Faculty Publications

Appraisers often use discounted cash flow (DCF) techniques to value timber and timberland. Land expectation value (LEV) is a standard DCF technique applied to many timberland situations. LEV calculates the value of bare land in perpetual timber production and is often used to value evenaged pine plantations. However, it is also useful in the valuation of immature timber stands and uneven-aged timber stands cut periodically. These models have wide applicability in timberland appraisal situations.

Effects Of Climate Change On Hypoxia In Coastal Waters: A Doubled Co2 Scenario For The Northern Gulf Of Mexico, D Justic, N N. Rabalais, R. Eugene Turner Jan 1996

Effects Of Climate Change On Hypoxia In Coastal Waters: A Doubled Co2 Scenario For The Northern Gulf Of Mexico, D Justic, N N. Rabalais, R. Eugene Turner

Faculty Publications

Projections of general circulation models suggest that freshwater discharge from the Mississippi River to the coastal ocean will increase 20% if atmospheric CO2 concentration doubles. This result is likely to affect water column stability, surface productivity, and global oxygen cycling in the northern Gulf of Mexico, which is the site of the largest (up to 16,500 km(2)) and most severe hypoxic zone (liter(-1)) in the western Atlantic Ocean. We use a coupled physical-biological two-box model to investigate potential effects of climate change on seasonal oxygen cycling and hypoxia in river-dominated coastal waters. The model was developed and calibrated using comprehensive …

Hydrologic Restoration Of Coastal Wetlands, R. Eugene Turner, R. R. Lewiss Iii Jan 1996

Hydrologic Restoration Of Coastal Wetlands, R. Eugene Turner, R. R. Lewiss Iii

Faculty Publications

Hydrologic modification of coastal wetlands is pervasive, continuing and longstanding in the US. Appreciation for the subtleties of the direct and indirect effects of hydrologic changes on emergent vegetation, soils and co-dependent flora and fauna is contributing to restoration efforts. However the results of wetland restoration/rehabilitation are mostly empirical, rather than scientific in understanding. Science is contributing to the management interest by providing documentation of the past and present failures and successes, and, unveiling the fundamental understanding necessary to move from one wetland to another in an informed and adaptable manner. The papers in this volume are introduced within this …

The Crime Of Political Genocide: Repairing The Genocide Convention's Blind Spot, Beth Van Schaack Jan 1996

The Crime Of Political Genocide: Repairing The Genocide Convention's Blind Spot, Beth Van Schaack

Faculty Publications

The Genocide Convention, drafted by the United Nations soon after the Nuremberg trials, represented a significant step toward the establishment of a regime of individual accountability for violations of international law. The Convention compels its signatories to prevent and punish certain enumerated acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, religious, or racial group. Even though the Khmer Rouge era is widely considered a paradigmatic case of genocide, this article takes as its premise that much of the violence in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge era (1975-78), in which almost a fifth of …

Mandatory Arbitration: Alternative Dispute Resolution Or Coercive Dispute Suppression?, Sharona Hoffman Jan 1996

Mandatory Arbitration: Alternative Dispute Resolution Or Coercive Dispute Suppression?, Sharona Hoffman

Faculty Publications

The enforceability of mandatory arbitration policies contained in employment contracts between employees and their direct employers remains an open question, even after the Supreme Court's 1991 decision in Gilmer v. Interstate Johnson Lane Corp. While Gilmer gave effect to a mandatory arbitration clause in a contract between a securities broker and his licensing exchange, the Court noted that the contract at issue was not an ordinary employment contract between employer and employee. The Court declined to decide whether arbitration agreements in ordinary employment contracts are per se enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act or whether these provisions are exempt from …

A New High Pressure Sapphire Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Cell, Shi Bai, Craig M. Taylor, Charles L. Mayne, Ronald J. Pugmire, David M. Grant Jan 1996

A New High Pressure Sapphire Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Cell, Shi Bai, Craig M. Taylor, Charles L. Mayne, Ronald J. Pugmire, David M. Grant

Faculty Publications

A new version of a single-crystal sapphire high pressure nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) cell is described that is capable of controlling the sample pressure independent of the temperature. A movable piston inside the cell adjusts and controls the sample pressure from ambient conditions to 200 atm within plus or minus 0.3 atm. The linewidth at half-height for a 13C spectrum of carbon dioxide at 15degrees C and 57.8 atm is found to be 0.5 Hz. The carbon dioxide gas/liquid phase transition is clearly observed by measuring 13C chemical shifts as the sample pressure approaches equilibrium. The time required for this …

Genetics Of Oviposition Success Of A Thelytokous Fairyfly Parasitoid, Anagrus Delicatus, James T. Cronin, Donald R. Strong Jan 1996

Genetics Of Oviposition Success Of A Thelytokous Fairyfly Parasitoid, Anagrus Delicatus, James T. Cronin, Donald R. Strong

Faculty Publications

The foraging behaviour of the salt-marsh parasitoid, Anagrus delicatus (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae), is distinguished by few eggs laid per patch of hosts and frequent dispersal among patches. We investigated the within-population genetic variability in six quantitative traits associated with this unusual behaviour: fecundity (lifetime number of eggs), time on a patch, number of ovipositions per patch, oviposition rate, ovipositor length and tibia length (a measure of body size). Forty-one wasp isolines were initiated from single parthenogenetic females from three isolated salt marshes, and were maintained for up to eight generations in the greenhouse. We estimated the genetic variance and broad-sense heritability …
