Classification And Protection Status Of Remnant Natural Plant Communities In Arkansas, William F. Pell Jan 1981

Classification And Protection Status Of Remnant Natural Plant Communities In Arkansas, William F. Pell

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A classification and inventory of Arkansas's remaining tracts of relatively undisturbed vegetation was initiated in 1979. Based on extensive literature surveys and field work, the classification includes five physiognomic classes, 17 cover classes, and 46 cover types, arranged hierarchically. High quality examples of ten of the cover types have been located in designated wilderness or state natural areas, where they are protected by law, while an additional three occur in research natural areas or Forest Service special interest areas. The remaining 33 cover types have no known long-term protection. Lands having wilderness, state natural area, research natural area, or special …


Fluorgraphic Technique For Detecting And Recording Chlorophyll And Its Derivatives On Paper And Thin-Layer Chromatograms, James L. Wickliff Jan 1981

Fluorgraphic Technique For Detecting And Recording Chlorophyll And Its Derivatives On Paper And Thin-Layer Chromatograms, James L. Wickliff

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Light from a blacklight lamp (General Electric BLB) is restricted to a waveband range 360 - 470 nm by cut-off filters consisting of 4cm 1 M aqueous CuSO4 and acrylic plastic sheets. This filtered lamp emission is used to excite the characteristic red fluorescence of chlorophyll and its derivatives on paper or thin-layer chromatograms. Fluorescent spots are detected and recorded by exposure of red-sensitive panchromatic photographic printing paper (Kodak Panalure) to the fluorescing chromatogram. A thin yellow filter interposed between the chromatogram and the photo print paper restricts the detected fluorescence to wavelengths greater than about 500 nm. Standard development …
