Rate Of Deterioration Of Beetle-Killed Engelmann Spruce, James L. Mielke
Rate Of Deterioration Of Beetle-Killed Engelmann Spruce, James L. Mielke
The Bark Beetles, Fuels, and Fire Bibliography
Examination of beetle-killed stands in Utah and Colorado indicate that dead Engelmann Spruce will remain standing and sound for at least 20 years.
Aspen Defiberization And Refining Of Product, Robert Craig Jr.
Aspen Defiberization And Refining Of Product, Robert Craig Jr.
Aspen Bibliography
Because of the great demand for wood fiber and because there is an abundance of aspen available1/ for this purpose, its conversion into a usable fiberized material offers possibilities. It also affords an outlet for low-quality bolts developed in any aspen logging operation or from land of poor quality.
Aspen Properties And Uses, Zigmond A. Zasada
Aspen Properties And Uses, Zigmond A. Zasada
Aspen Bibliography
Because of the large demand for lumber during the last 10 years, and particularly during the war period, aspen has entered many new fields of use. At present there is widespread interest in the possibilities of building new industries and extending the life of old ones by increased use of aspen. Many people are interested in becoming familiar with this wood. This report has been prepared to give general information on the properties and present uses of aspen and also to help in correcting some of the existing erroneous ideas about this wood.
Mirid-Bug Injury As A Factor In Declining Alfalfa-Seed Yields, Charles J. Sorenson
Mirid-Bug Injury As A Factor In Declining Alfalfa-Seed Yields, Charles J. Sorenson
Faculty Honor Lectures
During the forty or more millions of years that insects have inhabited the earth they have developed remarkable adaptations and great powers of reproduction that have enabled them to spread over most of the world and occupy all of its habitable environments. In cultivating the land and in growing crops, man has disturbed the balance in nature which formerly prevailed. By doing this he has unwittingly assisted many insect species to multiply in unprecedented numbers by providing them with more delectable food in abundance and by transporting them from place to place and from continent to continent in his migrations …
Range Land Of America And Some Research On Its Management, Laurence A. Stoddart
Range Land Of America And Some Research On Its Management, Laurence A. Stoddart
Faculty Honor Lectures
Although grazing of livestock has been a practice and a profession of man almost from his beginning only recently has range management reached anything approaching a pre~ cise science. Although ' trials and errors over the years brought to light much practical methodology for assuring high production from grazing land, still it remained for the plant physiologist and ecologist to find the whys and wherefores, and to advance new methods and new thoughts which promise to increase productivity still further and at the same time maintain the great range resource.
The peculiar land situation that marked America in her forma~ …
Seeding Grass On Deteriorated Aspen Range, A. Perry Plummer, George Stewart
Seeding Grass On Deteriorated Aspen Range, A. Perry Plummer, George Stewart
Aspen Bibliography
The herbaceous undercover on much of the aspen range in the Intermountain region is badly deteriorated. These areas, naturally highly productive, when revegetated can contribute greatly towards a much needed supply of range forage. One of the major obstacles to successful seeding has been the difficulty of getting the seeds covered with soil since both standing and fallen trees interfere with the use of drills, harrows, or other machinery. In the search for methods to overcome this difficulty, it was found that for open aspen stands the covering of seeds is unnecessary when the right precautions are taken in other …
How To Reseed Utah Range Lands, A. Perry Plummer, Richard M. Hurd, C. Kenneth Pearse
How To Reseed Utah Range Lands, A. Perry Plummer, Richard M. Hurd, C. Kenneth Pearse
Aspen Bibliography
Additional low cost forage is urgently needed by Utah's range livestock industry. Seeding of depleted tracts in accordance with recently developed methods and principles will help supply this forage and is entirely feasible. Where the value of the increased forage will repay the cost of planting, careful reseeding of selected sites is fully justified.
The important part that reseeding can play in restoring ranges to their former capacity has been demonstrated. Although satisfactory results can be obtained on many sites during average or better years, much more study is needed to insure consistent success in abnormal years and to extend …

Weather And Plant-Development Data As Determinants Of Grazing Periods On Mountain Range, David F. Costello, Raymond Price
Weather And Plant-Development Data As Determinants Of Grazing Periods On Mountain Range, David F. Costello, Raymond Price
Aspen Bibliography
Fundamental in economical range-resource management is the determination of proper grazing periods. It is of prime importance to be able to establish a date in the spring when the range has produced sufficient feed to keep livestock in thrifty condition, when it is reasonably safe from excessive trampling and packing of the soil, and when the more important key forage plants have attained sufficient development to withstand grazing use. Such opening dates, as well as the time to defer and rotate grazing and to remove livestock from the range, are dependent in part on the prevailing weather conditions and on …
Forest Fire Damage Studies In The Northeast--I. Bark-Beetles And Fire Damaged Hardwoods, Paul W. Stickel
Forest Fire Damage Studies In The Northeast--I. Bark-Beetles And Fire Damaged Hardwoods, Paul W. Stickel
The Bark Beetles, Fuels, and Fire Bibliography
In reporting the damage to trees scorched lightly at the base by fire the average fire warden and even the technically trained forester is given to stating that little harm has been done providing the tree crowns remain green. Such a statement is far from being correct, failing as it does to take into account the aftermath of insect and fungus damage which invariably follows even the lightest of surface fires. In the case reported herein, over 50 per cent of the fire-scorched hardwoods showed signs of the presence of ambrosia-beetles, whose work, even if the trees continue to live, …
Grazing Periods And Forage Production On The National Forests, Arthur W. Sampson, Harry E. Malmsten
Grazing Periods And Forage Production On The National Forests, Arthur W. Sampson, Harry E. Malmsten
Aspen Bibliography
Stockmen in the West have always had confidence in the adequacy of the native forage crop to provide pasturage for their livestock. Indeed, under normal climatic conditions this enormous natural resource has not failed the grazier, except where it has been called upon to meet unreasonable demands. The productivity of the range has declined sharply, however, wherever the requirements of plant growth have been disregarded for many years in succession. Where there has been too early or too frequent and to heavy grazing, undue trampling, or some other unsatisfactory feature of range use, the results have been uniformly bad. Many …
Climate And Plant Growth In Certain Vegetative Associations, Arthur W. Sampson
Climate And Plant Growth In Certain Vegetative Associations, Arthur W. Sampson
Aspen Bibliography
The relation of climate to the growth and development of vegetation is of profound importance in both practical and experimental agriculture. It is extremely useful to know the cause of successful growth and establishment, or of partial success or failure, of various species in different plant associations and under widely contrasted climatic conditions. The climatic requirements of various plant types are largely responsible for the results obtained in the case of experimental seedings and plantings of most species. Once the adverse climatic factors are definitely known, failures with plants may be largely avoided by the judicious selection of sites or …

Practical Information On The Scolytid Beetles On North American Forests I. Barkbeetles Of The Genus Dendroctonus, Andrew Delmar Hopkins
The Bark Beetles, Fuels, and Fire Bibliography
During the writer's investigations of extensive insect depredations in the forests of West Virginia, from 1890 to 1902, he was forcibly impressed with the importance of the forest-insect problem in connection with any future efforts toward the successful management of the forests of this country, and was thus led to give special attention to the subject. It was soon realized that among the principal groups of insect enemies of forest trees the scolytid bark and wood boring beetles must occupy first rank, both in economic importance and systematic interest. Subsequent investigations in West Virginia, in connection with the work of …
