The document discusses the effect of large wildfires on aspen recruitment. It analyzes two large fires in Utah - the 2000 Oldroyd Fire which burned 1329 acres and the 1996 Pole Creek Fire which burned 7113 acres. For the Pole Creek Fire, the document finds that 71% of potential aspen recruitment areas showed successful aspen recruitment in 2011, indicating a correlation between larger fire size and higher rates of aspen regeneration. The author concludes that large disturbances can overwhelm herbivory and allow aspen stems to successfully recruit when repeated over multiple years.

This document from GNS Science discusses hazards in New Zealand mountains. It notes that mountains in New Zealand are growing approximately 5 mm per year due to ongoing collision with the Pacific plate. Over millions of years this will result in significant displacement. The document outlines many geological hazards in New Zealand mountains, including earthquakes, rock avalanches, landslides, and debris flows. It also discusses meteorological hazards such as snow avalanches. The document emphasizes that hazards should be considered holistically and on appropriate time scales, rather than through knee-jerk reactions, given the active geological environment of New Zealand mountains.

BEHAVIOR OF REACTIVE POWDER CONCRETE SLABS EXPOSED TO FIRE FLAME

IAEME Publication

This work is devoted to study the behavior as well as the mechanical properties of reactive powder concrete (RPC) slabs subjected to fire flame. The experimental program includes investigation the effect of burning temperature and duration on some important mechanical properties of RPC compared with normal strength concrete (NSC) such as compressive strength, modulus of rupture, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. Additional tests are also conducted to study the effect of temperature, duration, existence of steel reinforcement and slab thickness on the flexural or punching shear behavior of simply supported RPC slabs having dimensions of (520×520×50mm) under concentrated load at the center of the slab. The test results showed that the performance of RPC specimens at fire were worse than that of conventional concrete due to increased spalling. All RPC samples were spalled and loss their mechanical properties under burning at (600ºC) for (60 mins.) duration. Slab thickness of (50 mm) was enough to resist fire exposure at high temperature level without spalling of the upper surface of concrete

Pile foundation ppt

Surat Construction PVT LTD

This document provides information about pile foundations. Pile foundations are used when the soil cannot support building loads and piles are driven deep into the ground until they reach a bearing stratum. Piles can be made of timber, concrete, or steel. They transfer loads from the building to the stronger subsurface layer. The document discusses different types of piles including end bearing and friction piles and explains how pile caps are reinforced to resist tensile and shear forces from heavy loads. Diagrams show how pile foundations are arranged and how piles transmit loads into the ground.

1. The study evaluated the effects of tebuthiuron herbicide application on sagebrush seedling recruitment and density across different ecological sites. 2. At one year post-treatment, mature sagebrush density decreased as intended while young sagebrush density increased, likely due to opened niches. 3. Greenhouse trials found fewer sagebrush seedlings emerged from seed rain in treated areas compared to controls, suggesting tebuthiuron reduced seed viability from surviving plants. However, seed bank viability was not affected.

Monroe Mountain Aspen

Utah Section Society for Range Management

The document summarizes work done by the Monroe Mountain Aspen Collaborative Working Group to address aspen decline on Monroe Mountain in Utah. The group, formed in 2010, includes representatives from USU Extension, the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, and the Grand Canyon Trust. Through activities like field trips, photographic monitoring, and grazing studies, the group found that livestock, deer, and elk all actively graze in aspen areas and browse aspen leaders. Livestock AUMs have decreased over time while wildlife AUMs have increased, but total AUMs have remained constant. The group expects a decision soon on a US Forest Service plan to treat 50,000 acres over 10-15 years.

Utah Section Society for Range Management

This document describes the development of a PCR-based method to detect Delphinium species (larkspur) in the rumen contents of cattle poisoned by grazing on these plants. Primers were designed that specifically target larkspur DNA. Testing showed larkspur DNA could be detected by PCR up to 72 hours after ingestion, even when diluted to concentrations lower than what is expected in the rumen during poisoning. This larkspur detection method using PCR shows potential as a diagnostic tool for cattle poisoned by grazing on larkspur plants.

The Effect of Water Development on Bats

Utah Section Society for Range Management

The document discusses the effect of water development on bats. It explores how the installation of livestock water tanks can both help and harm bat populations. While water sources provide drinking water for bats, they can also trap bats if the tanks do not have escape ramps. The document highlights the importance of including escape ramps in tank designs to prevent bat mortality while still providing water for cattle operations.

Effect of Fire and Herbivory on Tree Size Transitions in Acacia Drepanol

Utah Section Society for Range Management

Fire and herbivory can influence tree size transitions in Acacia drepanolobium. Preliminary results show that while mean size of small trees (<1m) was similar between burned and unburned areas, burned trees had higher levels of ant mutualism traits like nectar. Specifically, burned small trees were occupied by ant species that provide better defense and had more nectar rewards. Further analysis will examine how fire temperature and herbivory levels affect tree response, and how the presence of neighboring trees impacts post-fire ant colonization.

Annual Grazing on the Grand Staircase

Utah Section Society for Range Management

This document summarizes information from various sources about livestock grazing on the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) in Utah. It finds that ranching has been a part of the local culture and economy for generations, with many ranchers dependent on GSENM lands to graze their livestock. The document also reports that resource development projects could allow for an 88% increase in grazing. However, replacing grazing with tourism would require major infrastructure investments and may not generate as much economic activity as grazing currently does.

The Effects of the Mountain Pine Beetle on Forest Rangeland Systems

Utah Section Society for Range Management

The mountain pine beetle is damaging forest rangeland systems in the Rocky Mountains. Rising temperatures have caused the beetle population to increase and spread to more tree species. This has led to widespread tree mortality that decreases stocking rates and increases problems like erosion, poor water quality, and wildfire risk. The effects of mountain pine beetle damage on forest ecosystems can be mitigated through pest deterrent techniques and improved forest management practices.

Benefits/Tradeoffs of Fuel Control Treatments

Utah Section Society for Range Management

This document summarizes research from the Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project (SageSTEP) on the effects of different fuel reduction treatments. Key findings include: 1) Prescribed fire and mowing effectively reduced woody fuels in sagebrush steppe, while herbicide decreased cheatgrass initially but it rebounded. 2) Mechanical treatments like shredding maintained shrubs and increased perennial grasses in woodlands, but failed to remove fuels long-term without follow-up burns. 3) Near-complete tree removal supported sagebrush-obligate birds, while treatments had mixed effects on vegetation, hydrology, and cheatgrass depending on site and treatment method. 4

Making Connections: How SageSTEP Connects Scientists and Managers

Utah Section Society for Range Management

The document discusses the SageSTEP program, which connects scientists and land managers through various outreach efforts. It explains that translational ecology aims to ensure scientific research is both useful and usable by connecting stakeholders and researchers. SageSTEP uses multiple outreach approaches, including a website, newsletters, field tours, webinars, and factsheets, to share information with over 400 subscribers according to diffusion of innovation principles. These principles include working in teams, two-way communication, and quick dissemination of research results rather than waiting for publication. The goal is to overcome barriers between scientists and stakeholders and incorporate on-the-ground knowledge to ensure research is applicable to management needs.

Aspen Intake and Preference by Sheep: Implications for Herbivory and Aspen De...

Utah Section Society for Range Management

The study examined the effects of phenolic glycosides on aspen leaf intake by sheep in three trials. In the intake trial, sheep were fed aspen leaves with either low or high levels of phenolic glycosides. Intake varied but was generally lower for leaves with high phenolic glycosides. In the preference trial, sheep preferred smooth bromegrass and Utah pea over aspen in July and August, but preferred aspen in September. There was large variation between individual sheep in their aspen intake. The study suggests browsing herbivores can prevent aspen regeneration through leaf consumption and selectively culling problem animals or providing supplements could help improve aspen regeneration.

Mitigation of Larkspur Poisoning on Rangelands Through the Selection of Cattle

Utah Section Society for Range Management

This document discusses cattle losses due to larkspur poisoning on grazing lands in Utah. Typical cattle losses are around 5% but can reach 15%. Clinical signs of poisoning include staggering, muscle tremors, and collapse. Grazing management strategies recommend grazing early or late to avoid the "toxic window" when larkspur is most dangerous. A study evaluated cattle breeds' susceptibility and identified genetic markers associated with resistance in Angus cattle. Further research aims to validate these markers and identify other genes influencing larkspur resistance.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP

RAHUL

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade. The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization, population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different 'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the land. The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover. Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface, providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and diverse human activities. Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems 9 Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can occur natural.
