This book was released on 1984 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ecological land classification of the park is an integrated resource inventory of landform, soil, vegetation and wildlife information presented inboth report and 1:50,000 map format. A three-level, hierarchical landclassification system was developed using existing landform and soil classifications plus a classification of 56 vegetation types developed by theauthors. The three levels of generalization are: (1) ecoregions, basedprimarily on vegetation physiognomy and species composition which reflectmacroclimate; (2) Ecosections, based on broad landform, drainage class andsoil differences; (3) Ecosites, based on landform, soil and vegetationaldifferences insufficient to warrant separation at the ecosite level. Ecosites plus the nine miscellaneous landscapes are the map units delineated.
Download or read book Early Vegetal Succession Following Large Northern Rocky Mountain Wildfires written by L. Jack Lyon and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wildfire is a naturally recurring phenomenon in the forests of the Northern Rockies. Historical accounts of earliest explorations contain references to areas denuded by fire, and the massive forest fires of this century have been documented. Written records before 1800 are sketchy, but charcoal in the ground, burned stumps, and fire scars in tree cross sections provide evidence of a forest-fire history predating the oldest living vegetation in the Northern Rockies. Thus, it is generally accepted that these forests have evolved in the presence of repeated fires. --First paragraph.

This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changing global drivers are eroding ecosystem resilience. As change continues, determining the implications of ecosystem transformations must be coupled with "climate change education" and evidence-based undergraduate biology curricula to train the next generation of scientists. My dissertation addresses each need in turn. First, I use remote sensing and field studies to understand the drivers and effects of poor subalpine forest recovery following large, stand-replacing wildfire in the U.S. Northern Rocky Mountains. I ask: (1) how extensive is forest conversion to sparse or non-forest three decades after the 1988 Yellowstone fires, and what drives its distribution? (2) how does forest conversion affect subalpine forest understory plant communities, aboveground carbon stocks, and the potential for forest recovery? and (3) how do anomalously frequent (30-year fire-return interval) stand-replacing wildfires in forests adapted to historically infrequent (125-year fire-return interval) fires alter understory plant communities? I complement these studies with the development and assessment of new undergraduate curricula on systems thinking and biogeochemical cycling, incorporating gameplay and simple simulation modeling to ask: how do student attitudes toward and understanding of the nitrogen cycle change following game- and inquiry-based learning? Subalpine forest conversion 30 years after the 1988 fires was extensive, covering ~41,000 hectares of previously forested area primarily at higher elevations and further from surrounding unburned forest. While much of this area appears "locked in" to sparse or non-forest, other areas may yet recover to forest owing to seed pressure from ex situ and in situ sources. Understory plant communities increasingly resembled meadow communities where tree densities were lowest, and aboveground carbon stock recovery was diminished. Understory communities were also affected by minimal forest recovery following anomalously frequent fire, with shifts toward shade-intolerant species and species from lower elevation zones adapted to drier conditions. Finally, undergraduate students in an intermediate general ecology course self-identified improved attitudes toward and understanding of the nitrogen cycle, largely attributing these changes to gameplay of "The N Game" and active lecture. This research elucidates how changing climate and disturbance will alter forest ecosystems and how evidence-based teaching approaches may help train undergraduate students to address these and other global challenges.

Book excerpt: The first comprehensive treatment of North American rodents of conservation concern. This action plan summarizes the rodent fauna of North America and provides available information on every rodent taxon that has been considered to be of conservation concern by state, provincial and private conservation agencies and regional experts. It is hoped that the survey provided in this action plan will serve as a common ground for all these parties in drawing up conservation strategies for rodents.
