Aspen Bibliography

We must be resourceful. Our "natural" resources are becoming scarcer every day, while waste products mushroom in dumps, along roadsides, in the water and air.


Some Intermountain Endemics, Arthur H. Holmgren May 1977

Some Intermountain Endemics, Arthur H. Holmgren

Faculty Honor Lectures

A growing concern for the welfare of endangered or threatened plant and animal species has developed during the past few years, coinciding with an awareness of mankind's deleterious influence on the environment. Technological man has altered vast areas of the earth's surface to such an extent that many species have been endangered or made extinct. Transcontinental highways, shopping malls, industrial parks, home sites where they shouldn't be, and huge acreages turned over by the plow for monocultures, have taken a toll on our native vegetation to such an extent that many species have either lost their diversity or have disappeared. …

Manually Calculating Fire-Danger Ratings - 1978 National Fire-Danger Rating System, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service

Forestry

This publication contains instructions for manually calculating the indexes and components of the 1978 National Fire-Danger Rating System (NFDRS). The procedures are explained with worked examples. Working sets of nomograms for the 20 NFDRS fuel models are not included. However, an order form for obtaining the needed nomograms is provided. USDA Forest Service General Technical Report INT-39, The National Fire-Danger Rating System--1978 by John E. Deeming, Robert E. Burgan, and Jack D. Cohen, a companion publication, covers the NFDRS background, applications, and general principles of the system.


Biomass Estimation For Some Shrubs From Northeastern Minnesota, David F. Grigal, Lewis F. Ohmann Jan 1977

Biomass Estimation For Some Shrubs From Northeastern Minnesota, David F. Grigal, Lewis F. Ohmann

Aspen Bibliography

Biomass prediction equations were developed for 23 northeastern Minnesota shrub species. The allometric function was used to predict leaf, current annual woody twig, stem, and total woody biomass (dry grams), using stem diameter class estimated to the nearest 0.25 cm class at 15 cm above ground level as the independent variable.

A Survey Of Soil Invertebrates In Two Aspen Forests In Northern Minnesota, T.L. Wagner, W.J. Mattson, J.A. Witter

Aspen Bibliography

Productivity of ecosystems depends to a large extent on the quantity of available nutrients. In natural ecosystems, much of the nutrient stock is unavailable because it is bound in live and dead organic matter. Additions to the pool of available nutrients come from several sources, but the largest and most important one is dead organic matter. Therefore, the productivity of ecosystems is often said to be related to the rate of nutrient release from, or the mineralization of, organic litter (Ghilarov 1971, Satchell 1974).
