Evaluation of Burned Aspen Communities in Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Aspen has been declining in Jackson Hole for many years, a condition generally attributed to the fact that lightning fires have been aggressively suppressed since the early 1900s. It is also believed that burning will successfully regenerate aspen stands despite high elk numbers. To test this hypothesis, I evaluated 467 burned and 495 adjacent, unburned aspen stands at eight different locations...
متن کاملWildlife Resources: The Elk of Jackson Hole, Wyoming
The Jackson Hole, Wyoming, elk herd lacks an effective “commons institution” for its management. Conflict over management is particularly intense for the segment of the herd that winters in the National Elk Refuge. The fundamental problem is that too many elk are concentrated in too small an area on the refuge in winter, leading to a high incidence of the disease brucellosis, vulnerability to t...
متن کاملRelating transient storage to channel complexity in streams of varying land use in Jackson Hole, Wyoming
[1] Transient storage processes are important to biogeochemical cycling in many streams and depend greatly upon stream fluvial structure. Fluvial geomorphic structure establishes patterns of surface water and subsurface head distributions, often driving hyporheic exchange through steps, riffles, and meanders, and controls the potential for in-channel dead zone storage in side pools, eddies, etc...

متن کاملAnatomically preserved Liquidambar (Altingiaceae) from the middle Miocene of Yakima Canyon, Washington state, USA, and its biogeographic implications.
Liquidambar changii Pigg, Ickert-Bond & Wen sp. nov. (Altingiaceae) is established for anatomically preserved, middle Miocene infructescences from Yakima Canyon, Washington, USA. Specimens are spherical, ∼2.5 cm in diameter, and have ∼25-30 tightly packed, bilocular fruits per head. Fruits are 3.4-4.7 mm wide × 2.6-3.5 mm long and wedge shaped, fused at the base, and free distally. Each locule ...
