Northern hemisphere ungulates occupy a variety of habitats of varying degrees of permanency. Populations that occupy drier areas must contend with different moisture patterns between years, but vegetation is relatively permanent, pending large-scale

Nutrient content and weight of current year's growth of Cercocarpus ledifolius Nuttall and Physocarpus malvaceus (Greene) Kuntze in central Idaho were obtained during early July in the years 1987–2007. The purpose of this work was to determine whet

Current year's growth (biomass) and nutrient levels of bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata), a highly palatable bunchgrass in western North America, were evaluated over 20-year and 10-year periods, respectively. Three study sites representi

Bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoregneria spicata [Pursh] A. Love) is a major forage species for mountain sheep (Ovis canadensis) in central Idaho. Observed condition of this forage species is high, prompting an investigation of herbivory levels and subse

Approximate wave functions are used to evaluate the excitation energy moments of dipole oscillator strength sums for molecules containing hydrogen. For moments that have sum-rule expressions requiring only the initial-state wave function, these expec

We used habitat-selection data from a reintroduced population of elk (Cervus elaphus) in northeastern Nevada, USA, to develop a resource-selection function to adjust nutritional carrying capacity estimates. Constrained estimates provide population le

We evaluated elk (Cervus elaphus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), cattle (Bos taurus), and domestic sheep (Ovis aries) diet composition, diet overlap, and forage selection on aspen (Populus tremuloides Michaux)–sagebrush (Artemisia spp. L.) summe

The effects of grazing by cattle (Bos taurus) and recently reestablished elk (Cervus elaphus) on mountain meadows in northeastern Nevada are poorly understood. We evaluated production, use, and species richness of herbage standing crop in and outside

Understory community structure of conifer plantations and naturally regenerated stands on north and south aspects is assessed in stands up to 100 years following initial overstory removal on an industrial forest of northern Idaho. Industrial forests

Forest canopy development is known to influence understory biomass relationships. An 85,268 ha area in southcentral Oregon was examined for changes in overstory canopy closure using 1953 and 1988 aerial and satellite imagery and a geographic informat
