Post-Settlement Land Uses And Their Effects On The Cedarburg Bog, Nevin J. Farley, Peter J. Salamun
Post-Settlement Land Uses And Their Effects On The Cedarburg Bog, Nevin J. Farley, Peter J. Salamun
Field Station Bulletins
During a study of the plant species of a lowland hardwood stand at the western edge of the Cedarburg Bog (Farley, 1973), it was noted that significant environmental changes had occurred here and throughout the bog which resulted in the present-day vegatation patterns. Many of these changes can be attributed to the various post-settlement land-use practices which were employed in the Town of Saukville (TllN, R21E), Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, where this bog is located. To document this information a literature survey was made of the various studies which ha ve been carried out in this area (Cutler, 1936; Grittinger, 1969; …
Breeding Birds Of The Forested Portions Of Cedarburg Bog, Charles M. Weise
Breeding Birds Of The Forested Portions Of Cedarburg Bog, Charles M. Weise
Field Station Bulletins
In 1971 the Wisconsin Scientific Areas Preservation Council inaugurated a program of annual breeding bird surveys in the various state scientific areas, carried out by members of the Wisconsin Society for Ornithology and coordinated by Mrs. Evelyn Warner. The object is to provide documented quantitative data for assessment of bird population trends, specifically as an index to possible environmental deterioration. The upland deciduous (maple-beech) woods at the UWM Field Station and a large part of the adjacent Cedarburg Bog are included in the scientific areas system, destined for preservation with minimal management for scientific research and education. As part of …
Rate Of Growth Of Tamarack (Larix Tarcina) In Cedarburg Bog, Cynthia Meyer
Rate Of Growth Of Tamarack (Larix Tarcina) In Cedarburg Bog, Cynthia Meyer
Field Station Bulletins
This study was undertaken to determine the influence of bog conditions on growth rate of tamarack (Larix larcina). The Cedarburg Bog in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin presents a unique opportunity for such study since it includes the southernmost string bog in the United States (Grittinger, 1970). My results demonstrate very slow growth of tamarack in Cedarburg Bog both in diameter and height. Differences in growth rates depend on the particular area of the bog, aeration, and mineral availability. As indicated by other studies, much more work is needed to determine how various factors affect growth of trees as well as other …
