The North American Species Of Smilacina, Desma H. Galway
The North American Species Of Smilacina, Desma H. Galway
Theses and Dissertations
This paper is the result of a taxonomic study of the species of the genus Smilacina occurring naturally in North America north of Mexico. In the past it has been difficult to make satisfactory determinations of members of this genus from existing manuals, especially among western forms. West of the great plains the great diversity in environmental conditions has given rise to a diversity in form of the species that are widely distributed. Many of these forms have been given specific or varietal names recently, and as no comprehensive work on the genus has been done since most of these …
The Influence Of Some Alkali Salts In The Presence Of Various Concentrations Of Calcium On The Growth Of Sporobolus Cryptandrus, Vaughn A. Clayton
The Influence Of Some Alkali Salts In The Presence Of Various Concentrations Of Calcium On The Growth Of Sporobolus Cryptandrus, Vaughn A. Clayton
Theses and Dissertations
This study deals with the reactions of Sporobolus cryptandrus to various concentrations of Utah's most common alkali salts. Its purpose is to determine the effects of various concentrations of sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, and sodium sulphate on the growth and fruiting of Sporobolus cryptandrus, and to determine to what extent, if any, various levels of calcium exert a protective influence against the toxicity of these three salts. In addition to the experimental work a field of study was conducted for the purpose of determining the concentrations of total salts found in soils supporting a good growth of Sporobolus cryptandrus.
Study Of The Aquatic And Semiaquatic Coleoptera In The State Of Utah, Harry P. Chandler
Study Of The Aquatic And Semiaquatic Coleoptera In The State Of Utah, Harry P. Chandler
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this paper is to discover and make known the species of aquatic and semiaquatic Coleopters of the sub-order ADEPHAGA which occur in Utah and to give something of their distribution, environment and habits whenever possible. When ever possible the original description or a description from a recent revision has been included for each species. Descriptions given in recent revisions have been regarded as more desirable because they describe the species in comparison with its nearest relatives, while many fo the original descriptions were very incomplete and could not be used to separate many of our present species …
The Distribution Of Plant Types In The Escalante Desert Of Utah With Relation To Soil Conditions, Carlyle B. Lambert
The Distribution Of Plant Types In The Escalante Desert Of Utah With Relation To Soil Conditions, Carlyle B. Lambert
Theses and Dissertations
This problem was a study of plant species in the Escalante Desert, Utah, in relation to soil conditions. The plants were surveyed by the transect-plot method. The plants and soils were analyzed by percentage-frequency techniques. There is no measurable correlation between soil series and the dominant plants which occur on the soils. There is no correlation between soil types and the plants that are dominant on the soil types. There is a definite correlation between textural classes of the soil and the plants that are dominant on these classes.
The Rise And Development Of The Megagametophyte In Yucca Angustissima Engelmann, Antone W. Nisson
The Rise And Development Of The Megagametophyte In Yucca Angustissima Engelmann, Antone W. Nisson
Theses and Dissertations
The studies involved in this investigation are based upon data and materials secured in the sandy areas of Washington and Iron Counties in southern Utah. The regions in which Yucca angustissima is found have a scant vegetation, are dry, sandy to sandy loam, well-drained, and with an elevation of from 2500 to 5000 feet. Watkins (1937) worked out a very extensive report of the megagametophyte development of Yucca rupicola. He begins with the four megaspore stage, and shows next the disintegration of the three micropylar megaspores. He reported that the chalazal megaspore forms eight free nuclei, by three successive divisions, …
A Preliminary Study Of The Vegetative Cover In Spanish Fork Canyon, Utah, Ben S. Markham
A Preliminary Study Of The Vegetative Cover In Spanish Fork Canyon, Utah, Ben S. Markham
Theses and Dissertations
Spanish Fork Canyon is located in central Utah and is part of the Wasatch Mountain range. Since the coming of the white man to this section of country it has been used as a trail. The canyon provides summer range for stock as well as a watershed. Plant densities were determined by the point observation method using series of one-hundred square foot plots. Three areas which have been subject to different grazing uses were studied. The association changes in the canyon are the replacement of sage by slender wheatgrass on the shallow soils and the disclimax condition resulting from over-grazing …
The Influence Of Overgrazing On The Density And Number Of Palatable And Unpalatable Desert Forage Plants, John H. Mcguire
The Influence Of Overgrazing On The Density And Number Of Palatable And Unpalatable Desert Forage Plants, John H. Mcguire
Theses and Dissertations
The data for this problem were collected at the Desert Range Experiment Station and on adjoining public domain lands during the summer of 1934, for the purpose of studying the influence of overgrazing on the increase of palatable and unpalatable desert forage plants. A vegetative description of the two areas studied has been prepared and presented.
A Further Study Of Utah Asilidae, D. Elmer Johnson
A Further Study Of Utah Asilidae, D. Elmer Johnson
Theses and Dissertations
This study is based on a similar study made by Claudeous J. D. Brown in 1928, and published in 1929. The species he used have been rechecked, and additional ones have been studied. The species considered in this study represent three of the four subfamilies of North American Asilidae. These three subfamilies are Dasypogoninae, Laphriinae, and Asilinae. This study is limited to those species in the Brigham Young University Collections, and to species recorded in print. No claim is here made that all the forms inhabiting the state have been discovered, in fact the writer is well aware of the …
The Development Of The Embryo Of Iris Missouriensis Nutt, C. Eugene Larsen
The Development Of The Embryo Of Iris Missouriensis Nutt, C. Eugene Larsen
Theses and Dissertations
There is but a single species of Iris native to Utah. This is Iris missouriensis Nutt. This plant was chosen for investigation because of its possible significance and because material of this species was readily available. The embryo of Iris missouriensis Nutt. shows some resemblance to the Lily type in its development of an irregular dividing suspensor. It also resembles the Orchid type in the usual development of sixteen cells before the dermatogen is cut off. In general development, however, the writer believes it to have an embryo sequence more similar to the Alisma type than to the dexcriptions given …
A Taxonomical, Morphological And Distributional Study Of The Utah Cyprinidae /|Cby Sheldon Phipps Hayes, Sheldon Phipps Hayes
A Taxonomical, Morphological And Distributional Study Of The Utah Cyprinidae /|Cby Sheldon Phipps Hayes, Sheldon Phipps Hayes
Theses and Dissertations
The hydrography of Utah may be thought of as being roughly divided into two large general drainage areas--, the Colorado River draining the eastern halt and southern portion ot the state and the Bonneville Drainage encompassing the remaining part of it. Earlier workers have listed eight genera and fourteen species of minnows occuring in Utah. Of these this report includes seven genera and ten species found within the borders of our state.
Effects Of Overgrazing On The Mortality Of Desert Browse Of The Utah West Desert, Charles W. Menzies
Effects Of Overgrazing On The Mortality Of Desert Browse Of The Utah West Desert, Charles W. Menzies
Theses and Dissertations
During the summer of 1934 this investigation was conducted to determine the effect of overgrazing on the mortality of desert browse in the vicinity of the Desert Range Branch experiment station. Range lands of western United States have, as a whole been subjected to overgrazing. Utah has about 24 million acres of public acres of public domain that can only be utilized from grazing. An effort has been made to put this area under control. The "Taylor Grazing Act" passed by Congress June 28, 1934 is a big step in the direction of the control of this vast area of …

A Preliminary Study Of The Flora Of The Henry Mountains Of Utah, W. D. Stanton
A Preliminary Study Of The Flora Of The Henry Mountains Of Utah, W. D. Stanton
Theses and Dissertations
The Henry Mountains from the standpoint of plant geography are among the most interesting in the Rocky Mountain Region for they are entirely surrounded by desert and their unique location results in an intermingling of southern , eastern , and northern forms in the flora of this vicinity . In spite of these facts very little collecting or floral study has been done here and the Henry Mountains are still almost unknown floristically . This is unfortunate for much of the original vegetation has changed due to overgrazing by sheep . This preliminary study was undertaken with the view of …
The Distribution, Taxonomy And Ecology Of The Genus Salix Of Utah County, Utah, Kenneth Edward Weight
The Distribution, Taxonomy And Ecology Of The Genus Salix Of Utah County, Utah, Kenneth Edward Weight
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose or this paper is to make the willows of Utah end especially Utah County familiar to persons of moderate taxonomic skill. The Willow Family has become somewhat neglected by classes in taxonomy and the botanist in general because of not having a key -- except in one or two cases, that takes into consideration characters other than the fruits or capsules. To identify a willow in late summer is almost impossible by the beginning botanist, because few, if any, flowers, fruits and capsules can be found. In this paper external cheracters will be considered in descriptions. It must …
Distributional List Of The Birds In Utah, Clarence Cottam
Distributional List Of The Birds In Utah, Clarence Cottam
Theses and Dissertations
Systematic ornithology has been woefully neglected in Utah. While this state has a number of men who know her birds and who have aroused interest in them, they have produced no published record of what we have. So far as the writer knows there is no adequate, representative, or systematic collection of Utah species within the state. Utah has, however, been fortunate in having a nuraber of expert ornithologists collect and study the bird life of different sections of bar territory.

An Ecological Study Of Timpanogos Creek From Aspen Grove To Wildwood, Marion L. Harris
An Ecological Study Of Timpanogos Creek From Aspen Grove To Wildwood, Marion L. Harris
Theses and Dissertations
Ecology may be oonsidered as one of the vital parts of botany, since there are two ultimate facts in this science; namely, the plant and its habitat . The habitat is made up of the physical factors that control function. At Timpanogos there are so many different habitats, that the chief problem is not that of finding a problem to study, but rather that of selecting one from the many. The purpose of this paper is to point out some of the interesting features that are found in a study of Timpanogos Creek from Aspen Grove to Wildwood.
