Selected water-quality and biological characteristics of streams in some forested basins of North Carolina, 1985-88 Selected water-quality and biological characteristics of streams in some forested basins of North Carolina, 1985-88
Selected physical, chemical and biological components of streams draining undeveloped, forested basins in North Carolina were characterized on the basis of samples collected at nine sites on streams in basins that ranged in size from 0.67 to 11.2 sq mi. Water analysis included specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, water temperature, suspended sediment, pH, major dissolved constituents...

The storm and flood of September 15, 1989, in Fayetteville, North Carolina The storm and flood of September 15, 1989, in Fayetteville, North Carolina
The storm of September 15, 1989, in and around the city of Fayetteville, North Carolina, produced the most extensive flooding of Fayetteville since 1945. The flood inundated 925 acres in the city along Cross Creek and Blounts Creek and their tributaries, flooded 338 buildings, caused damages in excess of $10 million and claimed the lives of 2 small children. Twenty-two roads and five...

USFWS selected geographic analyses USFWS selected geographic analyses
The geographic information system (GIS) used by the National Wetlands Research Center (NWRC) of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been valuable in assisting natural resource managers in planning and managing coastal fish and wildlife resources. In the past 5 years, NWRC has conducted about 60 studies employing this technology. Applications have ranged from simple natural resource...

Estimating wintering Bald Eagle densities in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley Estimating wintering Bald Eagle densities in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley
Surveys on the winter distribution of Bald Eagles have been concentrated in the northern USA (Hastings 1988, Mattson 1988), where Bald Eagles are most common. Few density estimates for wintering Bald Eagles exist. In the past, different survey techniques with little standardization have been used. Statistical analyses and error measurements of existing winter survey data usually are not...

Global climate change: USFWS coastal research Global climate change: USFWS coastal research
Scenarios of global climate change are still ambiguous; however, increasing sea level and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations seem certain, although rates of change are still being debated. Predictions for other aspects of climate change, such as temperature, tropical storm frequency and intensity, and precipitation, are still in debate, and all predictions for local (e.g...

Effects of site, landscape features, and fire regime on vegetation patterns in presettlement southern Wisconsin Effects of site, landscape features, and fire regime on vegetation patterns in presettlement southern Wisconsin
The presettlement tree cover (1831–33) of 3 townships in a southern Wisconsin landscape was analyzed using original survey records. Four forest types were identified: closed forest, open forest, savanna, and prairie. Comparisons of vegetation types and landscape pattern were made between the east and west sides of the Pecatonica River, which bisects the landscape and could have acted as...
