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.

The Influence Of Predator Control On Two Adjacent Wintering Deer Herds, Dennis D. Austin, Philip J. Urness, Michael L. Wolfe

Aspen Bibliography

An unknown number of deer are continually killed on summer and winter ranges by predators, and in at least some locations these losses are significant.

Aspen Bibliography

This is one of the reports developed as part of the Forest-Range Environmental Study (FRES) of the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. This report presents descriptive sketches of 34 soil-vegetation units, called ecosystems. These cover all the land area of the 48 contiguous States.

Characteristics of upland forest floors under mature jack pine and aspen in northeastern Minnesota were investigated.

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.

Forest Insect And Disease Management : Aspen Mortality At The Maroon Lake Campground, David W. Johnson, Thomas E. Hinds

Aspen Bibliography

At the request of the White River National Forest, Dave Johnson, Plant Pathologist, FI&DM and Tom Hinds, Plant Pathologist, RMFRES, made an evaluation of aspen mortality in the Maroon Lake Campground, Aspen Ranger District during June 13 to 15, 1977. Previously, Hinds (1976) reported accelerated aspen loss in 17 campgrounds, including Maroon Lake, located throughout Colorado and New Mexico (Fig. 1).

Aspen Forest After Harvest, Norbert V. Debyle

Aspen Bibliography

Aspen is a unique forest tree with respect to regeneration. It produces abundant root suckers, up to 40,000 per acre are common, after clearcutting or fire removes the parent stand. The rapidly growing sucker stand competes well with other vegetation, but is susceptible to destruction by excessive ungulate browsing. Clearcut areas produce more streamflow and more growth on shrubs and herbaceous vegetation than does the uncut forest. The patchwork of age classes that results from even-age management optimizes wildlife habitat requirements for several desired species.

Effects Of Clear-Cutting On Nutrient Losses In Aspen Forests On Three Soil Types In Michigan, Curtis J. Richardson, Jeffrey A. Lund

Aspen Bibliography

The effects of clear-cutting on NO^-₃, NH⁺₄, PO^3-₄, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Na⁺, Fe²⁺, and Mg²⁺ losses were evaluated in three 60-year-old aspen stands in northern lower Michigan.

Location-Allocation Models For Establishing Facilities, David F. Gibson, John Rodenberg

Aspen Bibliography

Two models and accompanying computer programs are presented which were developed to locate facilities for the timber harvesting industry. Addressed is a case of the facility location-allocation problem. The optimum location and number of landings, facilities to which timber is transshipped, are determined so as to minimize a cost function. This function is composed of the following components: (1) cost of transporting material from its original location to a landing, (2) cost of establishing a landing (facility cost), and (3) cost of transporting material from the landings to some designated point termed the origin. Output of the computer programs is …

The Biology And Ecology Of The Bromegrass Seed Midge In Nebraska, E. L. Nieman, G. R. Manglitz

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

These studies indicate that smooth bromegrass, Bromus inermis Leyss, is the only host of the bromegrass seed midge, Stenodiplosis bromicola Marikovskiy and Agafonova, in Nebraska. The midge did not infest two common annual brome species under field conditions. The midge has been collected from all counties surveyed in Nebraska and seems to be widely distributed throughout the midwestern states. An apparently undescribed species of Tetrastichus (Hymenoptera: Eulophiclae) was observed to parasitize all stages of the bromegrass seed midge. Parasitism rates greater than 90% were observed. The parasite larvae do not kill the midge until damage to the bromegrass floret has …

Yields From 18-Year-Old Aspen Via Total Tree Harvesting, M. K. Benson, D. W. Einspahr

Aspen Bibliography

Described are the results of harvesting the above-ground parts of an 18-year-old aspen stand and the observations made on the initial suckering of the new stand. The yields for the stand of 17.7 cunits per acre were greater than predicted yields of comparable material for the site at age 35. Suckering on the area the first year after cutting averaged 37,000 aspen stands per acre and 2.6 feet in height.

Effect On Bees Of Insecticides Used On Rape, A C. Kessell

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Rapeseed could provide beekeepers in Western Australia with a valuable new honey crop—hut insecticidal spraying of rape at flowering time is a potentially serious threat to most commercial beekeepers.

There are indications that insect pollination may improve rapeseed yields, so both growers and beekeepers could gain from a co-operative approach to the problem. Spraying after sundown and preventing spray drift to nearby apiaries should avoid most losses.
