The Southern Pine Beetle, Dendroctonus Frontalis Zimm, 1961-1971, Jack E. Coster

eBooks

In the last decade, since the appearance of the comprehensive reviews of southern pine beetle (SPB), Dendroctonus frontalis Zimm. (Coleoptera :Scolytidae ) *, literature by Thatcher (1960) and Dixon and Osgood (1961), much research progress on the insect has been realized. This review condenses reports of research on the insect published since 1961.

"Upland hardwood types occur throughout the forests of the southern United States. Sometimes deciduous species intermingle with pines to form mixed conifer-broadleaf types; other times hardwood types are interspersed with pine types; depending upon soil, physiography, past land use, and fire."

Forest Fuel Accumulation -- A Growing Problem, Marvin Dodge

The Bark Beetles, Fuels, and Fire Bibliography

Discusses the problem caused by accumulation of forest fuels in the wild-land forests of the western USA under the policy of total fire protection pursued there for many years, and emphasizes the need to find economical and practical ways of reducing fuel hazards in these forests, especially by means of prescribed burning under conditions in which low-intensity fires can be achieved.

A Taxonomic Study Of Two Nominal Subspecies Of Pikas (Ochotona Princeps) In The Cascade Mountains Of Oregon, Richard M. Coots

Dissertations and Theses

Pikas from four colonies in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon were examined. Two colonies were chosen from within the geographical distribution of two nominal subspecies. A discriminate analysis of morphological measurements taken from the specimens showed that each colony could be distinguished from each other. Each colony studied showed more intra-colony similarity than inter-colony similarity regardless of distance separating the colonies or subspecies designations. The results indicate that the validity of subspecies designations for this species can be questioned.

"This short history of the development of forest conservation in Texas is intended primarily for the general reader. The study has concentrated on the early history of the conservation movement, dating from the beginning of commercial lumbering in the state, approximately 1880, to about 1940 and World War II."

Fire Weather : A Guide For Application Of Meteorological Information To Forest Fire Control Operations, Mark J. Schroeder, Charles C. Buck

The Bark Beetles, Fuels, and Fire Bibliography

Weather is never static. It is always dynamic. Its interpretation is an art. The art of applying complex information about weather to the equally complex task of wildland fire control cannot be acquired easily-especially not by the mere reading of a book. The environment is in control in wildland firefighting. Free-burning fires are literally nourished by weather elements, atmospheric components, and atmospheric motion. Outguessing mother nature in order to win control is an extremely difficult task. We need to soothe her with understanding. We have attempted to present information in such a way that your daily and seasonal awareness of …

Behavior Of Pesticides In Plants, Logan A. Norris

United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

A number of chemicals of diverse characteristics have arbitrarily been classed together on the basis of their use and given the descriptive name "pesticides. " An unfortunate aura of mystery has developed about these chemicals. However, there is nothing unique or mysterious about the chemicals we refer to as "pesticides." Like other chemicals, they have properties which can be accurately measured; they obey all the laws of physics, chemistry, and biology.

The Biology Of Choristoneura Houstonana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), A Pest Of Juniperus Species, E. A. Heinrichs, Hugh E. Thompson

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Choristoneura houstonana (Grote) lays eggs singly in July. Egg development ranged from 8 to 11 days, with the majority hatching 10 days after oviposition. Larvae are solitary, and mine during early instars, but later instars feed externally on leaves in shelters made by webbing foliage together. There is one generation each year, and overwintering occurs in a hibernaculum, in mined leaves. Field-collected head-capsule width frequencies indicated nine larval instars. Rearing larvae on seedling junipers indoors indicated a range of 8–11 instars. Pupation occurs during June and July in the shelter where the larva feeds. The pupal stage lasted about 10 …

South Dakota Bird Notes, Keith E. Evans, Roger R. Kerbs

United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Approximately 90,000 small stock ponds are scattered throughout South Dakota. The majority of these ponds are less than 10 acres in size, and depend entirely on surface runoff for their water supply. Although their primary purpose is to provide drinking water for livestock, many species of waterfowl and shorebirds use the pond areas for resting and feeding during spring and fall migrations, and for nesting habitat throughout the summer.

Neither the amount of use nor the potential for use by birds on stock ponds in South Dakota is known. Preliminary data presented here are results of waterfowl observations on 13 …

Control Of Eucalypt Regrowth, J G. Paterson

Ornamental Trees For The Farm Garden, P Luff

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

THE need for trees in the farm garden is being realized by many people.

Trees around the homestead are required to give such features as shade, colour, fragrance and many other advantages to generally make an area more livable.

Besides these advantages, trees appear to help smaller plants flourish by increasing the humidity and providing various degrees of shade and sunlight.

Forestry Bulletin No. 9: Silviculture Of Shortleaf Pine, Laurence C. Walker, Harry V. Wiant Jr

Forestry Bulletins No. 1-25, 1957-1972

"Nowhere is silviculture more intensively practiced than in the southern United States exempt, perhaps, in certain European nations. This is because of the tremendous demands upon the forests for fiber in a region of optimum climatic characteristics for rapid growth of valuable species. In meeting these demands, management instructs its foresters to shift their efforts into high gear."

Trees Of Western Australia, Charles Austin Gardner

It is not desirable to give locality names to plants unless their range is fully underwood.

Such names can be very misleading.

A Study Of The Northern Upland Forest On The Islands Of The Whitefish Lake Chain, Minnesota, Roy K. Blowers

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

During an investigation of the area of the Whitefish Lakes, it was noted that two definite types of forest communities existed, a conifer forest and a hardwood forest. It was also noted that each type appeared on different parent soil materials. The problem was actually divided into four parts as follows: How well did the vegetation and the parent material correlate? What was the plant succession in the area? How was the plant succession affected by the parent material? And, how was the resulting soil affected by the vegetation?

It was decided that a forest study of islands would give …

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

WITH the ever-increasing spread of salt in certain poorly-drained soils in Western Australia, any plant which tends to restrict salt encroachment is of considerable economic importance.

In the genus Eucalyptus there are a few trees which will withstand a certain degree of soil salinity.
