Newly investigated leafy twigs bearing axillary fruits from the Eocene Parachute Creek Member of the Green River Formation in eastern Utah,USA,have provided more information on the species previously attributed to the...
Funding was received from the Natural Science and Engineering Council of Canada to JK and the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station(Projects 1153,1398 and 1423 to JAL)which has designated this as Journal Paper 9626.
Background: Large-diameter trees have an outsized influence on aboveground forest dynamics, composition, and structure. Although their influence on aboveground processes is well studied, their role in shaping belowgro...
Funding was received from the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station(projects 1153 and 1398 to JAL and 1423 to JAL,LLY,and DJM)and the Smithsonian Institution ForestGEO.Research was performed under the National Park Service research permits CEBR-2014-SCI-0001,CEBR-2015-SCI0001,CEBR-2016-SCI-0001,CEBR-2017-SCI-0001,CEBR-2018-SCI-0001,and CEBR-2019-SCI-0001 for study CEBR-00016.
Background:The epidemic Dendroctonus rufipennis(spruce beetle)outbreak in the subalpine forests of the Colorado Plateau in the 1990s killed most larger Picea engelmannii(Engelmann spruce)trees.One quarter century late...
A number of natural experiments have recently found that COVID-19 restrictions imposed in nations worldwide are correlated with short-term reductions—in some cases dramatic reductions—in mobile-source air pollutants...
Changes of failure mechanism with increasing confinement,from extensional to shear-dominated failure,are widely observed in the rupture of intact specimens at the laboratory scale and in rock masses.In an analysis pub...
Longwall mining has existed in Utah for more than half a century.Much of this mining occurred at depths of cover that significantly exceed those encountered by most other US longwall operations.Deep cover causes high ...
The authors would like to thanks to Steve Berry at Montana Tech for his working on the lab testing.
This paper was developed as part of an effort by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health(NIOSH)to identify risk factors associated with bumps in the prevention of fatalities and accidents in highly s...
A Walnut Gulch rainfall simulator was used to determine runoff water quality and salt balance of a Sandy Loam moderately saline-alkaline site containing 0.27%of gypsum near Moab,Utah.Four rainfall intensities correspo...
This case study addresses the Forest Service reauthorization for grazing of domestic sheep in Utah’s High Uintas Wilderness, USA. It provides an approach using spatial analysis and aerial imagery to evaluate the land...
