Pinyon jays (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus) are experiencing range wide population declines primarily in response to habitat degradation. More studies examining pinyon jay nest site selection pinyon-juniper woodlands would be helpful determining potential management prescriptions. Therefore, we conducted a study breeding central New Mexico. We compared size and foliage characteristics of juniper tr...

Translocating plants to natural habitats is a long-standing conservation practice but growing in magnitude deliver international targets mitigate climate change and reverse biodiversity loss. Concurrently, outbreaks of novel plant pests pathogens are multiplying with increased global trade network connectivity larger volumes imported plants, raising concerns that restoration plantings may act a...

Conifer control in sagebrush steppe of the western United States causes various levels of site disturbance influencing vegetation recovery and resource availability. The data set presented in this article include growing season availability of soil micronutrients and levels of total soil carbon, organic matter, and N spanning a six year period following western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis s...

Определены концентрации Ni, Cu, Pb, Cd, Fe, Mn, Zn в лишайниках Hypogymnia physodes (L.) Nyl., Pseudevernia furfuracea Zopf. на ели европейской, сосне обыкновенной и можжевельнике обыкновенном. Лишайники юго-восточном побережье Ладоги характеризуются низкими концентрациями металлов, которые можно использовать как регионально фоновые. We determined the concentrations of in lichens Zopf., collect...

We examine changes in canopy cover for adult western juniper from the 1960s to 1994 in central Oregon using repeat aerial photography. We compare changes at four sites with a land-use history of minimal anthropogenic disturbance to changes on adjacent sites that have a disturbance history more typical of central Oregon rangelands. Canopy cover increased at all sites, but afforestation on sites ...

The biocidal activity of three steam distilled wood essential oils-incense cedar, Calocedrus decurrens (Torr.) Florin; Port-Orford-cedar, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (A. Murr.) Parl.; and western juniper, Juniperus occidentalis (Hook)--were evaluated against adult Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) and Xenopsylla cheopis (Rothchild) (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) and nymphal Ixodes scapularis Say ...

A key aspect of the Interface to the Routing System (I2RS) is what mechanisms it includes to carry policy information and to enable policy control. This applies both in the protocol itself and in the services associated with the different components of the routing system. Similarly, the data-models associated with the services must be capable of expressing the appropriate granularity for access...
