Utilization of Skylab (EREP) system for appraising changes in continental migratory bird habitat Utilization of Skylab (EREP) system for appraising changes in continental migratory bird habitat
The author has identified the following significant results. Surface water statistics using data obtained by supporting aircraft were generated. Signature extraction and refinement preliminary to wetland and associated upland vegetation recognition were accomplished, using a selected portion of the aircraft data. Final classification mapping and analysis of surface water trends will be

Longevity of nonsprouting Ceanothus Longevity of nonsprouting Ceanothus
Evidence is presented indicating species of Ceanothus in the subgenus Cerastes are generally longer-lived than species in the subgenus Euceanothus. It is proposed that this is due, at least in part, to the unique stem morphology of the former. The stems of these plants have a ribbed appearance which arises when branches die. This longitudinal channeling results in less nonphotosynthetic...

Productivity and flowering of winter ephemerals in relation to Sonoran Desert shrubs Productivity and flowering of winter ephemerals in relation to Sonoran Desert shrubs
Ephemeral plant biomass and density on a Sonoran Desert hill near Cave Creek, Arizona, vary relative to shrub canopy type and shrub density. Higher shrub density associated with increased elevation appears to decrease both ephemeral biomass productivity and density, while ephemeral growth is enhanced under a shrub canopy if it is not too dense or low-hanging. Phenology of ephemerals on...
