Project Report No. 63, Site Index Equations For Loblolly And Slash Pine Plantations In East Texas, Update: Fall 2000, Lanton Chumley, Kenneth Dotson, Brad Horn, Greg Kelley, Greg Mabus, Meredith Middlebrook, Jamie Oliver, Michael Russell, Michelle Stegall

Informal Project Reports

This update utilizes height-age pairs measured from 1982- 1999. As a result, the number.of observations available for analysis is 1,900 loblolly and 852 slash. It is anticipated that the equations in this Fall 2000 update may quantify the productivity of East Texas loblolly and slash pine plantations in a more accurate and reliable manner than the eight previous sets of equations.

Development Of An Interpretive Trail For Ricks College Outdoor Learning Center At Badger Creek, Whitney Carr Ward

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

The Ricks College Outdoor Learning Center at Badger Creek provides outdoor experiences to hundreds of visitors each year. Several of these activities provide extraordinary, experiential learning and interpretational experiences. Though some of the activities are used merely as recreational experiences for participants, they have the potential to be used as powerful, educational tools. These activities include horse riding and cross country skiing. An interpretive trail transforms an ordinary outdoor recreational experience into a great resource with significant interpretive potential. Educational panels along the horse and cross country skiing trails provide visitors an interpretive experience by relating the rich history of …

Air Quality And Shelterbelts: Odor Mitigation And Livestock Production, A Literature Review, John Tyndall, Joe Colletti

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

This literature review is focused on the potential for innovative use of trees and other vegetation to reduce the odor associated with livestock production. The goal is to examine available evidence to assess if trees and shelterbelts may: 1) be able to help control odor through physical and biological means, and 2) be an economically feasible technology for livestock producers as well as surrounding communities.

Wildland Fire In Ecosystems Effects Of Fire On Fauna, L. Jack Lyon, Mark H. Huff, Robert G. Hooper, Edmund S. Telfer, David Scott Schreiner, Jane Kapler Smith

Joint Fire Science Program Synthesis Reports

Fires affect animals mainly through effects on their habitat. Fires often cause short-term increases in wildlife foods that contribute to increases in populations of some animals. These increases are moderated by the animals’ ability to thrive in the altered, often simplified, structure of the postfire environment. The extent of fire effects on animal communities generally depends on the extent of change in habitat structure and species composition caused by fire. Stand-replacement fires usually cause greater changes in the faunal communities of forests than in those of grasslands. Within forests, standreplacement fires usually alter the animal community more dramatically than understory …

Joint Fire Science Program Synthesis Reports

This state-of-knowledge review about the effects of fire on flora and fuels can assist land managers with ecosystem and fire management planning and in their efforts to inform others about the ecological role of fire. Chapter topics include fire regime classification, autecological effects of fire, fire regime characteristics and postfire plant community developments in ecosystems throughout the United States and Canada, global climate change, ecological principles of fire regimes, and practical considerations for managing fire in an ecosytem context.

Agroforestry In The United States: Research And Technology Transfer Needs For The Next Millennium

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

If society's needs and aspirations for forestderived goods, services, and amenities truely are to be met, we must find ways of augmenting traditional forestry by gleaning some portion of these benefits from agricultural lands. For example: windbreaks, riparian forest buffers, hybrid poplar trees, farm woodlots, and grazing/timber systems.
