In the past many introduction programs were designed to collect, test and select superior woody plants, but did not include a structured system to promote introductions to the wholesale or retail nursery trade. This study examines more recent programs that include a strong promotional component. woody plant introduction programs in the United States and Canada are analyzed in this research paper. These programs contain a combination of components including testing, selection, registration, patenting, trademarking, royalty collection, promotion and marketing. The purpose of the paper is threefold. First, it is to provide an understanding and appreciation for a variety of introduction programs through an examination of their components and organizational models. Second, it is to supply information on designing and implementing a new program or modifying an existing program. And third, it is to direct the reader to sources for more information on this topic. ix Research methods used to collect data on this subject were primarily site visits and telephone interviews with initiators and cooperators of these programs. Information on each program has been standardized to provide the reader with a basis for comparison. Since no two woody plant introduction programs will be exactly alike, each should be tailored to serve the needs of the institution, the geographic region, and the horticulture industry. The design process begins with an examination of the institution's mission statement and available resources. Planning includes the preparation of written goals and objectives, five year budget and program model. A working knowledge of plant registration, patenting and trademarking is essential. The design should include a promotional program which maximizes resources and targets a large audience. Open communication and participation with the horticulture industry should be fostered. And finally a strong leader, with an understanding of the introduction process, contacts in the horticulture industry, and energy and enthusiasm, is critical to the success of a woody plant introduction program. x INTRODUCTION Numerous individuals and institutions in the United states and Canada are actively involved in research to identify and select superior woody plants for the landscape. However, only a few have a bona fide plant introduction program or scheme, which includes a mechanism for the promotion of these introductions. In this research paper plant introduction is defined as the process whereby plants from clonal / I selections or breeding are tested, evaluated, selected, registered, and promoted. Plant introductions may be patented and/or trademarked and royalties collected. For definitions of these terms, as they pertain to this research, see page 6. A more traditional use of the term plant introduction refers to the process of importing plant materials into the United states. Although importation is the source of many plants for testing in plant introduction programs, it is not the author's intention to examine this process. 1 2 In order to evaluate each plant introduction program, a measurement of success must be established. In this paper the word success will be defined as the achievement of specified goals. Each institution's plant introduction program mission or purpose will be used as the basis for determining success. Goals vary considerably. Although plant introduction is the one common objective, the actual quantity of new introductions is often of lesser importance that related benefits, such as;-making a profit, providing improved plants for the consumer in a specific region, gaining recognition for the institution, staff or cooperators, or improving industry relationships. Since relatively little has been published on plant introduction programs, library research yielded minimal information. Data for chapters land 2 was collected primarily through site visits and telephone conversations with initiators and cooperators of these programs. The goal of this research paper is to provide information for not-for-profit institutions that want to design a woody plant introduction program or improve a current program. Through the examination of profit and not-for-profit models, in&titutions ca~ gain an understanding and appreciation for the process involved in implementing an introduction program. 3 This paper is divided into four sections. Chapter 1 examines and analyzes profit woody plant introduction programs using examples from commercial nurseries. Chapter 2 examines and analyzes not-for-profit woody plant introduction programs organized by arboreta, botanical gardens, univetsities and state and federal government. Chapter 3 provides guidelines for developing or modifying a woody plant introduction program and chapter 4 is a directory of selected plant introduction programs in the United states and Canada.

  • Cultural Resources Overview Desert Peaks Complex of the Organ Mountains – Desert Peaks National Monument Doña Ana County, New Mexico
    Cultural Resources Overview Desert Peaks Complex of the Organ Mountains – Desert Peaks National Monument Doña Ana County, New Mexico Myles R. Miller, Lawrence L. Loendorf, Tim Graves, Mark Sechrist, Mark Willis, and Margaret Berrier Report submitted to the Wilderness Society Sacred Sites Research, Inc. July 18, 2017 Public Version This version of the Cultural Resources overview is intended for public distribution. Sensitive information on site locations, including maps and geographic coordinates, has been removed in accordance with State and Federal antiquities regulations. Executive Summary Since the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) in 1966, at least 50 cultural resource surveys or reviews have been conducted within the boundaries of the Desert Peaks Complex. These surveys were conducted under Sections 106 and 110 of the NHPA. More recently, local avocational archaeologists and supporters of the Organ Monument-Desert Peaks National Monument have recorded several significant rock art sites along Broad and Valles canyons. A review of site records on file at the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division and consultations with regional archaeologists compiled information on over 160 prehistoric and historic archaeological sites in the Desert Peaks Complex. Hundreds of additional sites have yet to be discovered and recorded throughout the complex. The known sites represent over 13,000 years of prehistory and history, from the first New World hunters who gazed at the nighttime stars to modern astronomers who studied the same stars while peering through telescopes on Magdalena Peak. Prehistoric sites in the complex include ancient hunting and gathering sites, earth oven pits where agave and yucca were baked for food and fermented mescal, pithouse and pueblo villages occupied by early farmers of the Southwest, quarry sites where materials for stone tools were obtained, and caves and shrines used for rituals and ceremonies.

Current procedures for evaluating wind erosion equation, which estimates average wind erosion control practices utilize the wind erosion Aannual erosion, requires that all vegetative cover be equation (Woodruff and Siddoway, 1965). To use the expressed as dry biomass per unit area of flat small grain equation, one must express all vegetative cover in terms equivalent (SG)e. For a standing vegetative canopy, the of its equivalent to a small grain dry above-ground (SG)e depends on the magnitude of the friction velocity biomass reference standard (SO^.
