Response of avian communities to herbicide-induced vegetation changes Response of avian communities to herbicide-induced vegetation changes

The relationships between avian communities and herbicide modification of vegetation were analyzed on early-growth clear-cuts in western Oregon that had received phenoxy herbicide treatment 1 or 4 years previously. For both 1 and 4 years post-spray, vegetation development was greater in the third height interval (> 3.0 m) on untreated sites. All measures of vegetative diversity on...

Contamination of the O2 soil horizon by zinc smelting and its effect on woodlouse survival Contamination of the O2 soil horizon by zinc smelting and its effect on woodlouse survival

Samples of litter from the O2 horizon of Dekalb soil (loamy-skeletal, mixed, mesic Typic Dystrochrept) were collected from 18 ridgetop sites on a transect that ran by two Zn smelters in Palmerton, Pa. Metal concentrations increased by regular gradations from a minimum at a site 105 km west of the smelters (67 mg/kg Zn, 0.85 mg/kg Cd, 150 mg/kg Pb, 11 mg/kg Cu) to a maximum 1.2 km east of...
