Roster REMARKS:"As part of Douglas County's comprehensive planning process, a program to identify, classify and conserve historic resources was developed....The [Historic Resource Review] Committee...developed and adopted criteria for rating the historic resources then being researched....These criteria were based on those considered for nomination of resources to the _National Register of Historic Places_." [from Introduction and Evaluation Process, pp. 4-5].; This is a roster of properties on the Douglas County historic register as of 15 November 1980. Listing on the County register is not equivalent to listing on the National Register of Historic Places.; The main part of this publication is a listing of properties by Township, Range, and Section. The name of the structure or site is given, as well as the tax identification number. - report

chronology; glossary REMARKS:"This paper tracks the recent history of planning, management, and litigation regarding northern spotted owls and their habitat on Federal public lands since the 1989 Interagency Scientific Committee to address the Conservation of the Northern Spotted Owl (ISC). The ISC report and subsequent plans sparked many economic analyses, appeals, lawsuits, forest management plans, and counterplans. Federal assessments and planning efforts eventually led to the current Northwest Forest Plan which considers owls in the context of ecological and human communities under the rubric of ecosystem management."

bibliography; maps AUTHOR:R. Lee Lyman REMARKS:Reprinted from Journal of Anthropological Archaeology 8: 68-99 (1989).; ABSTRACT: Aooarchaeological analyses of late Holocene faunas from theree southern Northwest Coast sites in Oregon, in conjunction with a reanalysis of seven late Holocene faunas from the northern California coast, indicate mainland coastal rookeries and hauling areas were the foci of pinniped hunthing there. Migrational patterns indicated by zooarchaeological and historical data, prehistoric demographic data for pinniped remains, and pinniped behavior on rookeries reported in the biological literature suggest hunging from oceangoing canoes is unnecessary to successfully and efficiently expoint pinnipeds. - reprint

bibliography; illustrations AUTHOR:Edith B. Allen REMARKS:[from ABSTRACT:] The diversity of mycorrhizal fungi does not follow patterns of plant diversity, and the type of mycorrhiza may regulate plant species diversity. For instance, coniferous forests of northern lattitudes may have more than 1000 species of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi where only a few ectomycorrhizal plant species dominate, but there are fewer than 25 species of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in tropical deciduous forests in Mexico with 1000 species.....The environmental adaptations of mycorrhizal fungi are often thought to be determined by their host plant, but we suggest that the physiology and genetics of the fungi themselves, along with their esponses to the plant and the environment, regulates their diversity....If one species of mycorrhizal fungus becomes extinct in a habitat, field experimental data on AM fungi suggest there may be significant shifts in how plants acquire resources and grow in that habitat."; This item is a reprint of a chapter in a book on soil biodiversity. - reprint

bibliography AUTHOR:C.Y. LiüR.H. Crawford REMARKS:"Clearcut harvesting, with residual removal and prescribed burnings, is one of the major causes of ecosystem disturbances in the Pacific Northwest forests, and exerts a significant impact on forest ecosystem structure and function that can affect the long-term productivity....Clearcut harvesting reduces nitrogen input from nitrogen fixation....Clear-cutting decreases soil organic matter content, especially where logs and tops are removed from the cotting area...."
