Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural Vegetation of Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, Arizona The monument was established in 1918. The land was never plowed during historic times, although it is currently surrounded by groundwater and river-irrigated agriculture. The boundary was fenced to protect it from livestock grazing in 1934. Decline of the water table caused the native mesquite trees to die during the 19405 (judd It is conceivable that the effects of grazing, water table decline, and possibly pesticide drift from aerial spraying of nearby cotton fields have reduced or eliminated other floral elements as well.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Petrified Forest, National Monument, Arizona An Appreciation of The Petrified Forest of Arizona By Chas. F.Lummis Author of Some Strange Corners of Our Country, The Land of Poco Tiempo, Pueblo Indian Folk Stories, etc. Written Especially for the United States Railroad Administration Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. The Tempest. Sequoia in California is the oldest creature alive. It had measured a millennium when Christ walked the earth. But thats no time at all. Ten thousand ages before the cedars bloomed on Lebanon, away out here in the Wonderland of our own Southwest, the Wind, that grand old harper, smote His thunder-harp of pines identical pines that are with us to this day. Not, indeed, as they were in that incalculable Past for they have Put on Immortality, and are this side of Resurrection. They lived their green millenniums, and were laid to bed under the coverlet of a continent, to sleep ten times as long as Parasite Man has crawled upon this globe. And since, for as many aeons, the tireless moths of Erosion have been gnawing away their league-thick blankets, till at last they are bared again to the Arizona sun the most imperishable of earthly things, and of fadeless beauty; a Forest in Glorified Stone, its very bark and rings immortalized in agate. Not as that classic Munchausen of the Grand Canyon, Capn John Hance, loved to tell. A forest of petrified trees, with petrified birds flying through petrified air, singing petrified songs but prostrate and unmurmuring trunks upon a stark desert bed. How great was once this grove of giant conifers and willow-kind, no man will ever know nor how much is still buried, where ancient lava flows have pinned its sedimentary blankets down. Some 400,000 acres of it are uncovered in extent and beauty the noblest petrified forest in the world. Only the diamond is harder than its wood; only the opal so rainbowed. Some cosmic cataclysm mowed it down, orderly and at a scythe-swing. Not cyclone nor freshet Noahs flood turned against it could not have felled it so fair. It is no tangle of windfall or flotsam. Swath by swath it fell, its lofty tops generally to the south. Perhaps a far vaster earthquake than later split the Mogollon plateau to the beginnings of the Grand Canyon was the agent.

This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Avian Use of Quitobaquito Springs Oasis, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Arizona As a result of historic disturbances, Quitobaquito Springs passed to National Park Service management in a highly disturbed condition. Photographs of the area from the first half of the twentieth century show a shallow and broad expanse of water surrounded by a largely open area with little woody vegetation. Shortly after National Park Service acquisition, the open water area was drained, bulldozed, and diked into a discrete pond. Human disturbances were prevented after this time, eliminating the shallow, gravelly, open shore zone which was formerly attractive habitat for migrant shorebirds and wading birds (nabhan et al. And allowing a dense thicket of water-loving vegetation to develop around the pond. The development of dense riparian vegetation around the pond may, however, have increased the usefulness of the area to some resident breeding birds. In summary, the vegetation around Quitobaquito Springs has changed greatly within historic times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vegetation and Flora of Fort Bowie National Historic Site, Arizona Fort Bowie National Historic Site (fobo) was authorized as a unit of the National Park Service (nps) on August 30, 1964, and formally established on July 28, 1972, for the protection and interpretation of fort ruins. The historic site was established also to commemorate the Butterfield Overland Trail and Stage Station, the fort's soldiers, and the Chiricahua Apache Indians. The Fort Bowie Master Plan (nps 1975) provides a brief summary of the development policy: Fort Bowie National Historic Site provides a matchless opportunity to interpret the genesis, growth and eventual decline of a southwestern frontier settlement during the last half of the 18005. A classic western military outpost situated in the heartland of the Chiricahua Apaches, Fort Bowie bore witness to the tragic clash of cultures that characterized America's western expansion. Much of the land surrounding the site of this early outpost remains as it appeared during the height of the fort's historic period a century ago. The surviving natural and historic resources lend themselves to preservation in a primitive state - not to modern restoration or reconstruction. The historic site, consisting of 405 ha a), is located in Apache Pass, between the Chiricahua Mountains to the south and the Dos Cabezas Mountains to the north (fig. Apache Pass also separates the San Simon Valley to the northeast from the Sulphur Springs Valley to the southwest. Elevations within the historic site range from m ft) in lower Siphon Canyon to m ft) in upper Apache Pass southwest of the cemetery.
