IDSTORICAL RESOURCE INVENTORY FOR ACADIA NATIONAL PARK PART 2 - BmLIOGRAPIDES January 1992 Bibliographies for the Natural Resources Inventorying and Monitoring Initiative for Acadia National Park under Amendment #1 of Cooperative Agreement CA-1600-9-8010 between the National Park Service and College of the Atlantic, Bar Harbor, Maine 04609 Glen H. Mittelhauser Jamien Jacobs Linda L. Gregory Craig W. Greene (project Director) INTRODUCTION This 2-year project began in September 1989; its priorities were to: 1) evaluate historical resource inventory efforts in Acadia National Park since the 1880's and to assess the feasibility and appropriateness of including those data in a resource inventory program; 2) identify data appropriate for addition to the Park's Geographical Information System; and 3) identify gaps in resource base information and suggest priorities and procedures for future inventorying and monitoring. This report contains 2 bibliographies; ACADBIB -- containing references to reports conducted within the boundaries of Acadia National Park or on Park easement lands, and METHODS -- containing references to literature regarding methods of inventorying or monitoring resources found in the Park. Accompanying this bibliography (part 2) is the final report (part 1) and a computer disk containing PROCITETm bibliographic database fIles. In addition, originals of all references have been provided to Acadia National Park's resource management staff. 1 ACADBIB BIBLIOGRAPHY Aber, 1.0., P. Steudler, I.M. Melillo, R. Lathrop and D.

    Tamarack (Larix Laricina) by Joyce Tuharsky

    Natives to Know: Tamarack (Larix Laricina) By Joyce Tuharsky One of our northernmost trees, the hardy Tamarack is a slender-trunked, conical tree that grows 50-75 feet tall. The needles are a bright blue-green and surprisingly soft. They grow in tight spirals around short knobby spurs along the twigs. Tamaracks are among the few conifers that lose their needles in autumn. Just before the needles drop, the needles turn a beautiful golden-yellow. Tamarack cones are egg-shaped and among the smallest: less than an inch long. The bark is tight and flaky. Under this flaking bark, the wood appears reddish, giving the tree an interesting appearance even without needles. Very cold tolerant, Tamaracks are able to survive temperatures down to −85 °F. They are commonly found at the arctic tree line where it grows as a shrub. In more southerly locations, Tamaracks are normally found in wet soils in swamps, bogs and along lake edges. They are among the first trees to invade filled-lake bogs and are fairly well adapted to reproduce after a fire. However, because of its thin bark and shallow root system, the tree itself does not stand up well to fire. Also, the seedlings do not establish well in shade. Consequently, other more shade tolerant species eventually succeed Tamaracks. Tamaracks are native to much of Canada and south into the northeastern US from Minnesota to West Virginia. Because obits extensive range, the tree is known by many names: American Larch, Eastern Larch, Red Larch, and Hackmatack. The name “Tamarack” is Algonquian and means "wood used for snowshoes."Indeed, because Tamarack wood is very sturdy, yet flexible in thin strips, Native Americans used the wood and roots for many things: snowshoes, toboggans, sewing edges of canoes, and weaving twined bags.

    Species Almanac • Nature Activities At

    The deeriNature Almanac What is the i in deeriNature? Is it information, internet? How about identification. When you go out on the Deer Isle preserves, what species are you almost certain to encounter? Which ones might you wish to identify? Then how do you organize your experience so that learning about the nearly overwhelming richness of nature becomes wonderfully satisfying? A century ago every farmer, medicine woman, and indeed any educated man or woman felt that they should have a solid knowledge of the plants around them. The Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury, Vermont has maintained a Flower Table with labeled specimens since 1905. The Deer Isle-Stonington Historical Society has an antique herbarium collection made by Ada Southworth, a Dunham’s point rusticator. Today there are lovely field guides galore but the equivalent of a local list can come to you now by digital download. Here is an almanac, a list of likely plant and animal species (and something about rocks too) for our Deer Isle preserves, arranged according to season and habitat. Enjoy this free e-Book on your desktop, tablet or smartphone. Take this e-book with you on the trails and consult the Point of Interest signs. If you have a smartphone and adequate coverage, at some preserves a QR code will tell you more at the Points of Interest. After each category on the lists you will find suggestions for books to consult or acquire. You will have to read the on line reviews for apps as that field is developing too rapidly for any other approach.

    The Great Spill in the Gulf . and a Sea of Pure Economic Loss: Reflections on the Boundaries of Civil Liability Vernon Valentine Palmer1 I. INTRODUCTION A. Event and Aftermath What has been called the greatest oil spill in history, and certainly the largest in United States history, began with an explosion on April 20, 2010, some 41 miles off the Louisiana coast. The accident occurred during the drilling of an exploratory well by the Deepwater Horizon, a mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) under lease to BP (formerly British Petroleum) and owned by Transocean.2 The well-head blowout resulted in 11 dead, 17 injured, and oil spewing from the seabed 5,000 ft. below at an estimated rate of 25,000-30,000 barrels per day.3 The Deepwater Horizon is technically described as “a massive floating, dynamically positioned drilling rig” capable of operating in waters 8,000 ft. deep.4 In maritime law, such a rig qualifies as a vessel; yet, as a MODU, the rig also qualifies as an offshore facility that may attract higher liability limits under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA).5 Under these provisions the double designation as vessel and/or MODU 1.

    Natural Resource Inventory Conservation Lands, Sears Island Searsport, Maine For: Friends of Sears Island c/o Marietta Ramsdell PO Box 222, Searsport 04974 Ph. 207 548-0142 [email protected] By: Alison C. Dibble, Ph.D. Jake Maier Stewards LLC JM Forestry P.O. Box 321 6 Lower Falls Road Brooklin, ME 04616 Orland, ME 04472 Ph. 207 359-4659 [email protected] Ph. 207 469-0231 [email protected] http://jmforestry.com 18 January 2011 SUMMARY During the growing season in 2010, Stewards LLC and JM Forestry conducted at Sears Island a natural resource inventory of the new 601-ac conservation easement, held by Maine Coast Heritage Trust. This is located in the lower Penobscot River in Searsport, Waldo County, Maine. As of the 1970s, several large industrial development schemes were proposed for Sears Island. Since the 1990s the island has belonged to the state of Maine. A paved causeway constructed in the 1980s provides year-round access to a gate at the north end of the island. In January 2009 the Friends of Sears Island (FOSI), a nonprofit organization, assumed responsibility for stewardship of the conservation area and this inventory is part of the management planning process. A 70- acre portion of the conservation area includes a vernal pool and a potential building site intended for a future education/ visitor center. The remaining acreage is former farm fields, mature and successional forest, wet forest, streams, and tidal shore. An archaeological site at the north end of the island was documented with an extensive report in 1983. Historic land uses included agriculture and seasonal residences, but no structures remain.
