Drew and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principal objective of the study was to find out whether bamboos had replaced broad-leaved trees in the forests of South Vietnam (SVN) as a result of military defoliation, and, if so, on how large a scale. The work was primarily concerned with the Closed forest (Foret dense) because of the much greater amount of commercially valuable timber it contains compared to forests of other types. Secondary objectives were to investigate: The soil; the effect of herbicides on the spread of bamboo; and the economic value of bamboo.

This book was released on 1974 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mangrove forests occur in the tidal zone of most low alluvial coasts and along the saltwater estuaries of streams and rivers in the tropics. In South Vietnam (SVN) they form an extensive vegetative cover on sediments in salt and brackish water. They hold a place of some importance in the country's economy because of the number of products obtained from them. They also provide a breeding place for birds, wild animals, and fish, and produce organic materials that are utilized as food by offshore marine life. The fact that many of these mangrove stands have been managed is important in understanding the effects of defoliation. Such stands tend to be dominated by plants of one species and of a similar age, and consequently a herbicide application tends to affect the individual trees in a uniform manner.

This book was released on 1974 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principal objective of the investigation was to ascertain some of the effects that the widespread spraying of herbicides in South Vietnam (SVN) had upon altering population distributions, patterns of settlement (isolated farmsteads, hamlets, villages), and agricultural and other economic activities surrounding the settlements, thus giving some idea of man's ability to continue to use the environment. Using the records of remote-sensing, 25 study areas representing six different socioeconomic types of settlements were studied.

This book was released on 1974 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A very obvious and legitimate question poses itself when an extraneous material has been introduced into the environment: How long will this material persist, or how fast will it disappear. For the military herbicide operations in South Vietnam this question is particularly obvious and urgent. Herbicides have been used in those operations at levels roughly five to ten times higher than in normal agricultural practices. The report includes herbicide determinations in soils and water supplies at different locations.

Desowitz and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the study was to determine whether the ecological effects of herbicides have resulted in altered epidemiological patterns, particularly with respect to vector-borne infectious diseases. The premise that such epidemiological alterations may occur is based on the hypothesis that the changed ecological settings could provide suitable new breeding habitats for arthropod vectors and rodent reservoirs of these infections.

Book excerpt: The specific objectives of the study were twofold: To estimate within mangrove forests the area which has been taken over by this fern following the spraying of herbicides; and to study the biological and ecological factors affecting the rate of spread of the fern.

This book was released on 1974 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of the research were threefold. First, an effort was made to determine whether highland villagers in affected areas had actually observed aircraft spraying herbicide. Second, an effort was made to probe into the Highlanders' perception of what happened following the spraying. Third, the inquiry was directed at the villagers' evaluation of the effect of the spraying--whether they saw any relationship between the herbicide and some or all of the perceived changes.

This book was released on 1974 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the report is to document the possible changes that may occur to soil through defoliation of the vegetation growing on the soil, and to evaluate the relative seriousness of these changes. The data presented are the results of three field visits made to various areas in South Vietnam by soil investigators for the purpose of observing firsthand the effects of defoliation on soils.
