Abstract:

This paper presents the results of a mammal survey conducted between 1995 and 1997 in the newly established National Park of Upper Niger in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa. Ninety-four species of mammals were recorded in the park area and its environs; 19 of these species were newly recorded or confirmed for Guinea. The fauna of the park includes about 50% of the known mammalian diversity of the country. Among the species found are West African endemics such as the Gambian mongoose Mungos gambianus. The park, although situated in the Guinea savannah belt, includes some remnant forest, which harbours tropical forest mammals such as Thomas's galago Galagoides cf. thomasi, hump-nosed mouse Hybomys planifrons, soft-furred rat Praomys rostratus and flying squirrel Anomalurops sp.. This National Park is a high priority area for the conservation of the vertebrate diversity of West Africa.

Abstract:

During the spring of 2016 and 2017, the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute (MTRI), in collaboration with the Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture, conducted an angler creel survey in the Medway Lakes Wilderness Area that is located within the upper Medway watershed. Since 2012, public access to this region was improved to numerous lakes and streams, increasing the risk of overexploitation and the illegal introduction of invasive fish species. The purpose of this study was to assess the current status of the fishery for Brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis, investigate the possible presence of invasive Smallmouth bass, Micropterus dolomieu, and Chain pickerel, Esox niger, and inform anglers of the effects of invasive species on local biodiversity. Over the course of this two-year study, a total of 264 anglers spent 1017 hours to catch 1279 trout, of which 74% were released. Median length of retained Brook trout was of 25 cm and the maximum length was 43 cm. The majority of the catch was 2+ and 3+ years old. Angler catch rates were similar to nearby Kejimkujik National Park and greater than in the Tangier Grand Lakes Wilderness Area. The study area does not currently appear to be inhabited by invasive fish species. Most of the anglers interviewed lived nearby and had a long history of fishing in the upper Medway watershed. The study provides baseline data from the trout fishery which could be used to evaluate management strategies and future impacts of invasive fish species.

Abstract:

Research on the exploration and identification of phosphate solvent fungi has never been carried out in West Bali National Park (TNBB), therefore researchers aims to explore and identify microscopic fungi to be used as phosphate solvent fungi which later will be taken from each plant soil samples (Lantana camara) that the presence is very common in TNBB. The research was implemented in two stages. The first stage is exploration of soil fungi in the field (TNBB) and identification of fungal species and the second stage is the phosphate solvent fungus test on Pikovskaya media. The results of the identification of the fungi obtained as follow: Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus bertholletius, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus isolate 4, Aspergillus isolate 5, Penicillium citrinum, and Trichoderma amazonicum. From the entire types of fungi obtained, there are onlybfour fungi that have the potential as phosphate solvents, namely Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus bertholletius and Penicillium citrinum with the presence of clear zones on Pikovskaya media. Fungi that has the best potential in the process of phosphate dissolution is Aspergillus niger. Key words: Rhizosfer, Lantana camara, clear zone, phosphate solvent fungus

Abstract:

There have been raised several questions about saving natural, historical and cultural values of the territory of national park “Dnister river canyon” in this article. Also, this work highlights historical and natural conditions of canyon’s formation. Landscape, aesthetic and recreational resources of Dnister river canyon are incomparable among the territory of Ukraine. That is why it is important to save it from massive anthropogenic pressure. On of the stresses is a planned construction of upper Dnister river cascade hydropower station on the protected territory of national park “Dnister river canyon”.

Abstract:

Lower montane rainforest and upper montane forest on the slopes and summit of Gunung Sinombayuga, Dumoga Bone National Park, North Sulawesi, were described by general botanical collection and quantitative sampling. The lower montane forest was dominated by the families Fagaceae, Myrtaceae, Icacinaceae and Escalloniaceae. The upper montane forest, dominated by Fagaceae and Cunoniaceae, represented 75-year-old coppice regeneration. It was less diverse than the lower montane forest and lower in stature, with a smaller basal area per hectare and a higher proportion of multi-stemmed trees. The tree flora of the montane forest is poorly known, and rich in undescribed species.

Abstract:

Abstract A study on the seasonal variation in population structure of seven (7) ungulate species, African buffalo (Syncerus caffer), eland (Tragelaphus oryx), giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis), oryx (Oryx gazella), sable (Hippotragus niger), roan antelope (Hippotragus equinus) and the greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) was carried out using the field census approach during the wet (February– April) and dry (July–September) season, and a water hole census (September) at seven waterholes in the Waterberg National Park, Namibia. Male warthog, oryx and black rhino on average comprised about 40 % of the population, whereas male sable, roan antelope, eland and buffalo comprised 30 % of the population. Male kudu and male white rhino comprised 20 % of the sex structure of the population, whereas male giraffe comprised more than 50 % of population. Age structure was dominated by adults, with 60 % of the total population in warthog, sable, eland and the white rhino, and 70 % in kudu, roan, buffalo, giraffe and black rhino on average. Oryx had the highest number of adults, with only 10 % of the population comprised of juveniles. Larger herds were observed during the wet season and smaller herds during the dry season. Animals were observed more abundantly in three of the vegetation types (Terminalia sericea — Melhania acuminata vegetation, Terminalia sericea — Thesium megalocarpum, Terminalia sericea — Blepharis integrifolia), with lower abundances in the rock-inhabiting Peltophorum africanum during both seasons.

As an architectural preservation intern at the Grand Teton National Park, I worked on a number of projects over the summer of 2012. The primary research project that spanned the two months was an investigation into the history of the Upper Granite Patrol Cabin. Questions had been raised by my supervisors Katherine Longfield and Betsy Engel as to what purpose the original cabin had been built, with reason to believe it may have been built as a poacherâs cabin. Using resources within the GTNP, the Jackson Hole Historical Society, and research on similar building types, I determined that the cabin was not likely to be a poacherâs cabin, but was most likely to be an early rangerâs patrol cabin, built before

Abstract:

During the summer of 2008, this study investigated the patrol cabin located at the lower end of Berry Creek (at the north end of Jackson Lake, in Grand Teton National Park) for possible inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. James Pritchard conducted research at the National Archives near College Park, Maryland (hereafter NARA), and in records at Grand Teton National Park (GTNP), while Katherine Longfield of the Western Center for Historic Preservation, Grand Teton National Park (WCHPÂ GTNP) wrote the resulting proposal for the National Register. Secondly, the study began to look into the rumor that Olaus Murie built two small cabins in remote parts of the North District, at Upper Berry and Moose Basin. Finally, the project sought to set these cabins into the wider context of park history.

Abstract:

A census of ungulates was carried out in May 2002 in the Haut Niger National Park, Republic of Guinea. The study site was subdivided into three census blocks in which a total 111 transects (total length = 838.24 km) were censused once by one observer. Densities were estimated using DISTANCE analysis. We observed a total of 10 species of ungulates (nine Bovidae and one Suidae). Maxwell's duiker Cephalophus maxwelli had the highest density (3.69 individuals km−2) followed by the red-flanked duiker Cephalophus rufilatus (2.61 individuals km−2), whereas the buffalo Syncerus caffer had the lowest density (0.34 individuals km−2). Compared to a census in 1997, the abundance of red-flanked and Maxwell's duikers significantly decreased (by c. 50%) whereas that of other species remained stable or increased. This variation may possibly be explained by a change in the hunting pattern in the area, which shifted from large-scale hunting by large groups of hunters from outside the area before the Park's creation, to small-scale poaching by local hunters. The Park includes a diversity of ungulate species and harbours populations of ungulates that are important at both national and regional levels. We recommend therefore that the Park should be considered a key area for the conservation of ungulates in West Africa.

Abstract:

AbstractThe formation of dominance hierarchies in which the female mates with a large dominant male is common among crocodilians. However, there is the possibility of polyandry, in which females mate with multiple partners during a single breeding season and generate offspring with multiple paternity. In the present study, eight pairs of heterologous primers developed for Alligator mississippiensis and Caiman latirostris were used to determine whether multiple paternity exists in the Black Caiman, Melanosuchus niger. For such, we analyzed 34 Black Caiman offspring from the Anavilhanas Archipelago in the Negro River (state of Amazonas, Brazil). The specimens came from six groups, each containing five or six hatchlings. Paternity exclusion and genetic identity indices were calculated to test the robustness of the microsatellite loci. Simple allele counts and maximum likelihood estimation of family clusters were used to determine the likelihood of occurrence of multiple paternity. Among the eight loci tested, five were effective at determining paternity, with paternity exclusion values close to 1.0 (QC = 0.92) and genetic identity values close to zero (IC < 0.01). Using the simple allele count, six cases of multiple paternity were detected and confirmed in three hatchling groups by four different microsatellite loci. However, maximum likelihood analysis indicated multiple paternity in all the groups analyzed, with five family clusters identified in one hatchling group alone. Considering that this species is listed according to IUCN as Lower Risk/Conservation Dependent, our results have direct conservation implications. Multiple paternity increases effective population size by maintaining genetic variation, and thus could be an important mechanism to maintain genetic diversity in isolated local populations.

Abstract:

This study traces the development and evolution of Snake River use and management through an in-depth exploration of historic commercial scenic river guiding and concessions on the upper Snake River in Grand Teton National Park (GRTE) from 1950 to the present day. The research is based on a combination of methods including archival research, oral history analysis, historical landscape analysis, and fieldwork. I suggest that a distinct cultural community of river runners and outdoor recreationalists developed in Grand Teton National Park after World War II. In GRTE, a combination of physical, cultural, and technical forces shaped this community’s evolution including the specific geomorphology and dynamic channel patterns of the upper Snake River, the individuals and groups that worked on this river, and changes in boat and gear technology over time. The following paper presents the early results from the first year of this project in 2016 including the work of a graduate student and myself. This study offers connections between the upper Snake River and Grand Teton National Park to broader national trends in the evolution of outdoor recreation and concessions in national parks, the impact of World War II on technological developments for boating, and the cultural history of adventure outdoor recreation and tourism in the United States.

Abstract:

Although there is a pressing need for conservation in Africa and a push for such actions to be directed by the community, there is still much conflict both in academia and on the ground regarding the success and methods of community-based conservation. Employing key-informant interviews, focus group discussions and participant observation, we look at how one community has perceived the conservation actions in their village, Boumba, Niger, and the neighbouring national park, Park-W. This study examines local perceptions of the goals, priorities and methods of conservation in Park-W and the Boumba region. We demonstrate that while participants expressed positive alignment with perceived conservation goals, they did not agree with conservation priorities and felt strongly against the methods. Reframing conservation discourse in the terms of sustainable-use or adaptive management may serve to help translate much of the conservation ethic to local realities. We argue that for local conservation to be culturally sustainable, programmers of conservation must engage the community on their own terms, and recognize the value of local perceptions.

Full text

Abstract:

Itatiaia National Park (INP) is an interesting biogeographically location in southeastern Brazil, with a unique bryoflora due to its varied vegetation formations (montane forest, upper montane forest, and campos de altitude) and subtropical climate. The bryoflora of the INP consists of 519 species, 213 genera, and 81 families (289 mosses and 230 liverworts), with 84 taxa considered endemic, representing 34% of the total Brazilian bryoflora and 42% of the Atlantic Rainforest. Mosses and liverworts show very similar geographical distributions, with the most common phytogeographical patterns being Neotropical (219 taxa) and endemic (84 taxa). Endemism is concentrated in the montane forest for liverworts and in the upper montane forest for mosses. Comparative analyses between the bryoflora of INP and five tropical Andean countries (Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela) were used to confirm its affinities with the “páramos” phytophysiognomy. Sørensen similarity tests and cluster analysis were carried out on the similarity matrices for all families, genera, and species. Supporting evidence from published data was used to interpret the results. Comparisons made between the bryoflora of INP with those of five tropical Andean countries mentioned above showed strong familial, generic, and species similarities, which are explained in the literature by climatic similarities, speciation, long-distance dispersal, and migration through favorable habitats. At least 40% of the bryoflora species are shared between INP and the other tropical Andean countries, despite their vast size differences. We emphasize the need for adequate protection for the bryoflora of INP, specially its endemic and disjunct species, due to anthropogenic threats (tourism, incorrect trail maintenance, trampling, fire, litter, and construction) and global warming, which will accelerate the alteration of mountain environments.

Full text

Abstract:

In the Talbot Lake area, the Upper Mississippian carbonate sequence comprises, in ascending order, the Turner Valley and Mount Head formations. The Mount Head Formation is informally divided into lower and upper members. The rocks of the Upper Mississippian originated by sedimentation associated with successive shallowing-upward sequences. On the basis of the fossils, lithologies, textural characters, and sedimentary structures, the Turner Valley Formation apparently resulted from sedimentation on open marine shoals and in a lagoon, the lower member of the Mount Head Formation from sedimentation in shallow subtidal to lower supratidal environments, and the upper member of the Mount Head Formation from deposition in upper intertidal to supratidal environments.The paraconformity between the lower and upper members of the Mount Head Formation records a short erosional break. A disconformity between the Upper Mississippian carbonates and the Upper Permian Ishbel Group displays paleotopographic relief and paleokarstic features developed during exposure in post-Mississippian times. The disconformity is overlain by a condensed sequence of Pennsylvanian to Permian strata.Major diagenetic modifications of the Upper Mississippian strata include dolomitization, silica replacement and cementation, carbonate cementation, and dedolomitization. A diagenetic realm comprising sea water, fresh water, and hypersaline brine was probably responsible for some of the complex diagenesis in these rocks.

Full text

Abstract:

The Malian National Archives are located at Kuluba, an administrative suburb of Bamako. The collection is remarkable because of its vast scope. While for the post-independence period only materials from the Republic of Mali are included, for the colonial period the collection includes documents from what was then called the French Sudan, of which Bamako was the capital. At various times the French Sudan comprised, besides all of modern Mali, portions of Mauritania, all of Burkina Faso, and for brief periods portions of Senegal, Guinea, Ivory Coast, and Benin. In addition, documents from the military department of Niger (now Republic of Niger) also came into Kuluba.Among the documents one might not expect to find at Kuluba is a collection from the southeastern portions of Mauritania, including territory that at one time formed parts of the cercles of Kayes, Nioro, and Timbuktu, as well as the entire cercle of Nema. These districts, comprising the modern Mauritanian centers of Walata, Timbedra, and Aiun el-Arms, an area of nearly 300,000 square kilometers, were removed from the Sudan and appended to Mauritania in 1945. Many documents from what is today the nation of Burkina Faso are also found at Kuluba. All of what was later to be called Upper Volta was part of the Sudan until 1914, when it was made a separate colony. In 1932 the cercles of Wahiguya and Tugan were reattached to the Sudan, and again removed in 1947 when Upper Volta was reconstituted.

Geological mapping of the proposed Baleh National Park, Sarawak was conducted during the Heart of Borneo Expedition in Mid November 2015 with Institute of Biodiversity and Environmental Conservation, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak. A geological map of the study area is compiled together with maps of the previous studies. The proposed Baleh National Park is made up of plateau and mountain chains. The topography of the study area is closely related to the geology. The plateau is underlain by the volcanic rocks which consists predominantly of tuff and dacitic rocks with scattered agglomerate, while the mountain chains are the ridges which striking east-west direction are underlain by slate interbedded with siltstone, sandstone and mud clast conglomerate of the Layar Member. The Layar Member of the Belaga Formation is suit of deep ocean marine deposits during the Late Cretaceous [100.5–66 million years ago (ma)]. The plateau of the Bukit Tiban was formed as a result of the volcanic eruption during the Late Miocene (11.6–5.3 ma). Several interesting geoheritage sites were observed in the study area. Keywords: Bukit Tiban, columnar joints, dacite, geoheritage, Layar Member

Abstract:

Phytosociological Study of Beech and Beech-Mixed Woods in Monti Sibillini National Park (Central Apennines, Italy)The results of a phytosociological survey of the woods mainly growing on limestones in the Southern part of the Marches Region (Central Italy), that is part of the Monti Sibillini National Park, are here presented. This area is characterized by a temperate climate (upper mesotemperate and lower/upper supratemperate bioclimatic belts). In order to study the vegetation, 173 phytosociological relevés were carried out through the Braun-Blanquet methodology. All the data obtained were submitted to multivariate analysis. The phytosociological analysis is characterized in nine associations, whereof three are of new description (Lathyro veneti-Fagetum sylvaticae hieracietosum murorum, Cardamino kitaibelii-Fagetum sylvaticae corallorhizetosum trifidaeandCardamino kitaibelii-Fagetum sylvaticae anemonetosum nemorosae).

Abstract:

During summer 2011, the University of Wyoming American Studies Program offered âField Studies in Historic Preservation: Preparing a Preservation Treatment Guide for the Historic AMK Ranch.â This 3-credit, upper-level undergraduate course introduced students to the process of documenting and assessing the condition of historic buildings and developing treatment protocols. The majority of the course was devoted to inspecting buildings, interviewing property managers, researching solutions to common problems and writing a âPreservation Treatment Guideâ for use by National Park Service and University of Wyoming personnel. Students also studied log building maintenance and repair at other historic sites within Grand Teton National Park and conducted experiments and demonstrations at the AMK Ranch. Through this field course, students were given the opportunity to assist in fulfilling a contract with the National Park Service and to learn about how the park manages its historic and cultural resources. The course was taught by University of Wyoming Research Scientist Mary Humstone, with assistance from building conservation specialist Harrison Goodall of Langley, Washington, and Grand Teton National Park Cultural Resource Specialist Katherine Longfield

Abstract:

In 1875, the desiccated remains of an Early Woodland boy were removed from Mummy Valley in Upper Salts Cave, Kentucky. Recent archaeological surveys in Salts Cave and forensic investigations of the mummy suggest that the boy was mortally wounded while mining cave minerals. Death resulted from an internal hemorrhage and apparently occurred in the cave. After death the boy was placed on the surface of a ledge in an area known as “Mumy” Hall.

With fierce competition for the best consultant posts in surgery, a fellowship is almost becoming an essential requirement. There are numerous fellowships available but finding the right one and organising family life around it is extremely difficult. After a lot of scepticism from some trainees about the post-Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) national surgical fellowships scheme, it was advertised in July 2008 through The Royal College of Surgeons of England in partnership with the surgical specialist associations. I was extremely fortunate to be successful in the interview in November 2008 as the first Fellow in Bariatric and Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Surgery under the scheme and opted for the fellowship at Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton, for one year.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTRare remains of tyrannosauroid dinosaurs from the Aguja Formation in West Texas indicate the presence here of a relatively gracile species, comparable in form and adult size to Appalachiosaurus or subadult albertosaurines, Gorgosaurus and Albertosaurus. Histologic analysis of one of the specimens indicates that the Aguja tyrannosaur attained an adult size substantially smaller than adult albertosaurines (700 kg, 6·5 m body length). The frontal bone is narrow with a wide orbital slot and a bipartite joint for the postorbital, features thought to be diagnostic of Albertosaurinae; but there is a tall sagittal crest and reduced parietal wedge separating the frontals on the midline, features thought to be diagnostic of Tyrannosaurinae. The tall sagittal crest may be a synapomorphy of Tyrannosaurinae, and the Aguja tyrannosaur is herein referred to that clade. However, the unique combination of character states exhibited by the frontal prevents confident attribution to any known species. The Aguja tyrannosaur provides further evidence that North American Campanian tyrannosauroids were remarkably diverse for such large predators, and that each species was apparently endemic to a relatively small geographic province.

Abstract:

The Ilha Grande National Park, Paraná, Brazil, is located in the Upper Paraná River and has characteristics typical of a floodplains. This protected area includes lagoons connected and disconnected to the Paraná River, although the latter also connect during periods of high water level, thus composing a heterogeneous group of lacustrine environments. The enormous potential the flora and fauna diversities are still little known to the region, as can be seen through benthic invertebrates, inclunding bivalves mollusks. The granulometric composition of these floodplain lagoons was formed mainly by mud and very fine sand. Furthermore, organic matter composition was predominantly of fine particulate. The other abiotic factors differed from lagoons located within the island of the park to those located in the left margin of Paraná River. The results demonstrated the importance of abiotic factors such as the physical composition of granulometric texture, organic matter and macrophyte banks, to the establishment of bivalves in these floodplain lagoons. We recorded bivalves of Pisidium (native), Diplodon (native), and Corbicula (invasive). The highest values of Diplodon sp. density were observed at São João/C lake, for Pisidium sterkianum (Pilsbry, 1897) at São João/M lake, and to Jatobá/C lagoon with high density of invasive species Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774). This study to obtain conduct the first records of freshwater bivalves in floodplains lagoon in the Ilha Grande National Park, and provides contributions to better understanding the ecology of these mollusks. The recording of native species in the region of Upper Paraná River floodplain after a lomg period without new records, demonstrated the importance of protecting the lagoons of the Ilha Grande National Park as they can be a possible refuge to some species of native freshwater bivalves.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTAn exciting and successful environmental education program has been implemented at Kosciusko National Park in south-eastern NSW. It is based on programs developed by the Institute of Earth Education, a non-profit volunteer organisation made up of an international network of individuals and member organisations. The major work of the Institute is to design and develop educational programs.The two most popular programs offered at Kosciusko National Park are EarthkeepersTM and Earth CaretakersTM which are focused, sequential and cumulative nature education programs intended for upper primary children, that is, ten to twelve year olds. The aim of these programs is to help students enjoy, understand and live in harmony with the Earth. The activities integrate three components-understanding, feelings and processing—mirroring the interpretation philosophy of understanding, appreciation and protection. Evaluation has shown that the programs successfully enhance school curricula subjects and motivate students to change the way they and their families live.

Abstract:

The highest rate of climate change is occurring in alpine areas above permanent treeline. The Teton Mountains in northwestern Wyoming are one of these ecosystem and little work has been done on alpine streams in the area. We sampled 6 streams in the Teton Mountains in 2015 at both upper and lower sites. We measured environmental variables (e.g., glacierality index, basic water quality, and temperature), aquatic invertebrate assemblages and microbial diversity. The water sources for sampled streams were glacier-fed, snowmelt and icy-seep. Aquatic invertebrate density (116-11,523 ind/m2) and biomass (31-21,704 mg/m2) varied greatly among streams. Snowmelt streams had the highest biomass of invertebrates, but the density and richness did not differ among stream types. Micrbial diversity in groundwater-fed springs harbored higher diversity than glacier-fed streams. The discovery of an icy-seep stream type lead us to sample rock glacier in the Teton Mountains during 2016. We hope to continue to sample alpine streams in the Teton Mountains to understand how climate change will alter streams of different types.

Abstract:

Abstract. Introduction. Under the influence of anthropogenic pressures, as well as natural conditions, tourist facilities are gradually losing valuable recreational properties. To preserve and restore them requires a set of measures, which, in our opinion, is hardly possible without identifying the recreational opportunities of individual resources. The main numerical indicator of such opportunities is considered to be the recreational resource potential (RRP) of a separate territory. The purpose of this work is to determine the degree of anthropogenic impact on the recreational and resource potential of a particular area (upper reaches of the Prut River), taking into account the results of field and laboratory surveys. Methods. The method of RRP detection is based on detailed field studies. Precipitation samples were taken in the form of rain and snow. A set of hydrochemical studies was also conducted to assess the anthropogenic load on the selected area.Research results. For one of the most popular hiking trails (route to Hoverla) in the comfortable period of the year the number of vacationers increases significantly and is, respectively: May - 83.5 people / day, June - 124.4 people / day, July - 206 , 8 people / day, August - 132.4 people / day and September - 40.5 people / day. Although in the park precipitation is formed in conditions relatively clean of anthropogenic pollution, there is a noticeable tendency to their acidification. In 2018, precipitation belonging to acidic and weakly acidic accounted for 30% of the samples taken, and in 2019 - 33.3%. The pH ranged from 3.9 to 5.6 units. Almost all hydrochemical parameters of the Prut River in the study area are within acceptable limits. However, there is a clear increase in the total mineralization in the areas below the wastewater discharges, compared with the background areas. A similar pattern is observed with the nitrogen group.Conclusions. Due to good aeration of water in the Prut River, all biological, physicochemical and biochemical processes are very intensive and, accordingly, the process of self-cleaning of the reservoir is very fast, so the water quality in it remains stable and close to the natural state of the reservoir. As a result, it is shown that it is necessary to effectively implement measures for the protection and restoration of tourist resources, as well as to identify ways to rationally use them.

Abstract:

Abstract A growing interest in the restoration of young second-growth forests by managers of reserves in the redwood region has led to a need to evaluate restoration-based silvicultural strategies. This case study assessed the effectiveness of low thinning as a forest restoration tool via analysis of stand structure at Redwood National Park's Whiskey Forty Forest Restoration Study. The second-growth stand had more than 5,500 trees ha−1 and 57.0 m2 ha−1 basal area and consisted chiefly of three species: Douglas-fir (the dominant species), redwood, and tanoak. Low thinning reduced stand density but also reduced species richness by eliminating scarce species. Seven years after thinning, growth was enhanced (33.6% gain in basal area), and mortality was minor (3% of all stems); however, Douglas-fir remained competitive in the upper canopy. Its average basal area increment was less than redwood's, but its radial growth was equal and its rate of basal area growth was greater in the years following thinning. We conclude that the thinning improved stand conditions but did not fully satisfy restoration goals and that other thinning methods, such as variable-density thinning, are likely to be more effective at promoting redwood dominance.

Abstract:

The Chinle Formation and the lower part of the overlying Wingate Sandstone and Moenave Formation were deposited in fluvial, lacustrine, paludal, and eolian environments during the Norian and Rhaetian stages of the Late Triassic (~230 to 201.3 Ma), during which time the climate shifted from subtropical to increasingly arid. In southern Utah, the Shinarump Member was largely confined to pre-Chinle paleovalleys and usually overprinted by mottled strata. From southeastern to southwestern Utah, the lower members of the Chinle Formation (Cameron Member and correlative Monitor Butte Member) thicken dramatically whereas the upper members of the Chinle Formation (the Moss Back, Petrified Forest, Owl Rock, and Church Rock Members) become erosionally truncated; south of Moab, the Kane Springs beds are laterally correlative with the Owl Rock Member and uppermost Petrified Forest Member. Prior to the erosional truncation of the upper members, the Chinle Formation was probably thickest in a southeast to northwest trend between Petrified Forest National Park and the Zion National Park, and thinned to the northeast due to the lower Chinle Formation lensing out against the flanks of the Ancestral Rocky Mountains, where the thickness of the Chinle is largely controlled by syndepositional salt tectonism. The Gartra and Stanaker Members of the Ankareh Formation are poorly understood Chinle Formation correlatives north of the San Rafael Swell. Osteichthyan fish, metoposaurid temnospondyls, phytosaurids, and crocodylomorphs are known throughout the Chinle Formation, although most remains are fragmentary. In the Cameron and Monitor Butte Members, metoposaurids are abundant and non-pseudopalatine phytosaurs are known, as is excellent material of the paracrocodylomorph Poposaurus; fragmentary specimens of the aetosaurs Calyptosuchus, Desmatosuchus, and indeterminate paratypothoracisins were probably also recovered from these beds. Osteichthyans, pseudopalatine phytosaurs, and the aetosaur Typothorax are especially abundant in the Kane Springs beds and Church Rock Member of Lisbon Valley, and Typothorax is also known from the Petrified Forest Member in Capitol Reef National Park. Procolophonids, doswelliids, and dinosaurs are known but extremely rare in the Chinle Formation of Utah. Body fossils and tracks of osteichthyans, therapsids, crocodylomorphs, and theropods are well known from the lowermost Wingate Sandstone and Moenave Formation, especially from the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm.
