Mechanism of smoke-induced seed germination in a post-fire chaparral annual Mechanism of smoke-induced seed germination in a post-fire chaparral annual
1 Smoke-stimulated germination in the post-fire flora of California chaparral does not appear to be triggered by nitrate. Application of freshly prepared unbuffered KNO3 solutions (pH c. 6.2) failed to enhance germination of five populations of Emmenanthe penduliflora or one Phacelia grandiflora population, regardless of light or stratification conditions. 2 KNO3 buffered at acidic pH...

Ash and heat contents of woody fuels varied by species and fuel component but not by developmental stage. Bark fuels significantly differed...

Pathology of diseases in wild desert tortoises from California Pathology of diseases in wild desert tortoises from California
Twenty-four ill or dead desert tortoises (Gopherus agassizii) were received between March 1992 and July 1995 for necropsies from the Mojave and Colorado deserts of California (USA). Diseases observed in these animals included cutaneous dyskeratosis (n = 7); shell necrosis (n = 2); respiratory diseases (n = 7); urolithiasis (n = 3); and trauma (n = 5). In tortoises with cutaneous...
