Elk Winter Food Habits and Forage Quality Along the Eastern Slopes of Alberta (A Review)
Resource
A review of the limited number of studies on elk winter food habits along the Eastern Slopes of Alberta shows that elk prefer grasses and grasslike plants over shrubs. When available, rough fescue (...
Environmenta1 Planning for Rights-of-way
Resource
A recent study (using a 10% stratified random sample) estimated the amount of area physically disturbed by energy related activity, to be 66,576 acres (26,963 ha) for a selective study area...
Environmental Fate and Transport of Organic Contaminants in Soils at Waste Disposal Sites
Resource
Current approaches for describing the environmental dynamics of organic constituents in complex waste mixtures are reviewed. Factors controlling equilibrium and nonequilibrium sorption of organic...
Erosion Monitoring on Mountain Foothills Waste Dumps
