The soils under four small plant communities were studied to determine the cause of vegetation heterogeneity within a designed Buchloe-Bouteloua community. Sixteen relicate stands, four each of big bluestem (Andropogon gerardi), western wheatgrass...
An ordination of stands of remnant vegetation according to soil similarities shows that water-retaining capacity and organic matter vary directly while available nutrients generally vary inversely with rock content.
The composition of dry stands...
"The phenotype of two Andropogon gerardii subspecies, big bluestem and sand bluestem, varies broadly throughout the Great Plains of North America, giving rise to ecotypes within the species. This study sought to discriminate between genetic and...
The Hillsdale Reservoir in northwest Miami County, Kansas is used as a source of water, for recreation, and for flood control. An intensive study to determine the effects that geology and culture in the watershed have on water quality in the...
The Upper Jurassic Morrison and Lower Cretaceous Cedar Mountain formations are well exposed on the west flank of the San Rafael Swell, a large Laramide anticline located in Emery County, Utah. Both formations consist of siltstone compassed...
Measurements of phytoplanktonic productivity and certain physical and chemical characteristics were made over a one-year period, 25 September 1968 to 27 September 1969. Temperature and dissolved oxygen profiles showed the lake to be in a nearly...
In order to study the quantitative geomorphology of drainage basins, 3 fourth-order basins were delineated within the North Fork Big Creek drainage basin in Ellis County, Kansas. The three basins, labeled A, B, and C, were selected due to the...
Seventeen surveyed wells were monitored over a 14-month period along Vine Street, Hays, Ellis county, Kansas. Water levels were obtained monthly and increased to bimonthly during the warm months, and the results were compared to precipitation...
The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the distribution and vegetative composition of remnant grasslands on shale-limestone parent materials of the Central Kansas Rolling Plains Region in Kansas. The floristic composition of each stand...
The purpose of this study was to delineate communities cartographically within a 176 acre prairie in Trego County, Kansas. The communities were then characterized as to vegetational structure, underlying soils, and topographic position. An attempt...
