Endangered Mountains: Emerging Development Patterns in the Catskill Mountain Region
In the mountains north of New York City a number of cities and towns are being absorbed by the suburbs of one of the largest cities on the planet. The existence of independent communities has created some confusion in terms of classification in the past. Since 1970, Orange County has variously been classified as part of the Newburgh-Middletown Metropolitan Area, the Poughkeepsie-Newburgh Metrop...
متن کاملLee Hood: still climbing mountains
Lee Hood took to mountain climbing naturally, while he was growing up in rural Montana. The technical climbing he still practises consists generally of “going up vertical cliff faces.” His hobby could be an apt metaphor for a career in biology marked by unorthodox approaches to daunting problems. In the 1960s, Hood became the first biologist to seriously bridge the gap between biology and techn...
متن کاملSpatial Distribution of Acid-sensitive and Acid-impacted Streams in Relation to Watershed Features in the Southern Appalachian Mountains
A geologic classification scheme was combined with elevation to test hypotheses regarding watershed sensitivity to acidic deposition using available regional spatial data and to delimit a highinterest area for streamwater acidification sensitivity within the Southern Appalachian Mountains region. It covered only 28% of the region, and yet included almost all known streams that have low acid neu...
متن کاملNitrogen Saturation and Retention in Forested Watersheds of the Catskill Mountains, New York
The Catskill Mountains of southeastern New York receive relatively high rates of atmospheric N deposition, and NO3 concentrations in some streams have increased dramatically since the late 1960s. We measured the chemistry of 39 firstand second-order streams with forested watersheds to determine the variability of nitrogen concentrations within the Catskill Mountain area. We found that some stre...
متن کاملThe distribution and severity of beech bark disease in the Catskill Mountains, N.Y
The distribution and severity of beech bark disease (BBD) in the Catskill Mountains of southeastern New York state, U.S.A., were measured between 1997 and 2000. Forest composition was measured using wedge prism surveys and fixed-area plot counts of canopy species. BBD severity on individual trees was ranked from 1 (no disease) to 5 (dead) based on bark health and canopy loss. These data were an...
