  • Place Names: an Analysis of Published Materials
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 319 675 SO 020 925 AUTHOR Anderson, Paul S. TITLE Seeking a Core of Wo' -'d Regional Geography Place Names: An Analysis of Published Materials. PUB DATE 14 Oct 89 NOTE 18p.; Paper presentel at the Annual Meeting of the National Council for Geographic Education (Hershey, PA, October 11-14, 1989). Updated April 1990. PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) -- Reference Materials - Geographic Materials (133) -- Information Analyses (070) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Elementary Secondary Education; *Geographic Location; *Geography Instruction; *Minimum Competencies; *Physical Geography IDENTIFIERS Place Names ABSTRACT Knowing place names is not the essence of geography, but some knowledge of names of geographical locations is widely considered to be basic information. Whether used in general cultural literacy, lighthearted Trivial Pursuit, educational sixth grade social studies, or serious debates on world events, place names and their locations are assumed to be known. At the college level of world regional geography courses, five books with lists of place names are in print by geographers: Fuson; MacKinnon; Pontius and Woodward; DiLisio; and Stoltman. Those five sources plus place name lists by P.S. Anderson and from Hirsch reveal similarities and diversities in their content. A core list of place names is presented with several cross-classifications by region, type of geographic feature, and grade level of students. The results reveal a logical progression of complexity that could assist geography educators to increase student learning and avoid duplication of efforts. There will never be complete agreement about any listing of the core geographical place names, but the presented lists are intended to stimulate discussion along constructive avenues.

  • Central Region of the Sierra Madre Oriental Executive Summary
    CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PROGRAMME FOR THE CENTRAL REGION OF THE SIERRA MADRE ORIENTAL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Climate change poses a growing threat to Mexico’s ecosystems and communities. Cou- pled with climate variability and socio-economic factors, such as changes in land use, it has adverse effects on ecosystems and livelihoods in rural communities. Regional and local planning tools are therefore required to implement climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. One example is the Central Region of the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range (RCSMO, for its initials in Spanish), whose biodiversity-rich ecosystems are vulnerable to climate change. This has an impact on local communities, because their livelihoods depend pri- marily on the area’s natural resources. Hence it is vitally important to assess the resilience of the ecosystems and the ability of local communities to cope with the effects of climate change. In 2010, the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONANP) responded by developing the Climate Change Strategy for Protected Areas (ECCAP). The Climate Change Adaptation Programme for the Central Region of the Sierra Madre Oriental (PACC-RCSMO) is an essential part of this project. The area of intervention is ap- proximately 2.15 million hectares, covering parts of the states of Tamaulipas, San Luis Po- tosí, Hidalgo, Puebla and Veracruz and portions of three major river basins� which drain into the Gulf of Mexico (Pánuco, San Fernando-Soto la Marina and northern Veracruz). Four natural protected areas (NPAs) were established in the RCSMO region. Three of them are federal NPAs and the fourth NPA is set to be declared.

  • The Role of Fir Species in the Silviculture of British Forests
    Kastamonu Üni., Orman Fakültesi Dergisi, 2012, Özel Sayı: 15-26 Kastamonu Univ., Journal of Forestry Faculty, 2012, Special Issue The Role of True Fir Species in the Silviculture of British Forests: past, present and future W.L. MASON Forest Research, Northern Research Station, Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland EH25 9SY, U.K. E.mail:[email protected] Abstract There are no true fir species (Abies spp.) native to the British Isles: the first to be introduced was Abies alba in the 1600s which was planted on some scale until the late 1800s when it proved vulnerable to an insect pest. Thereafter interest switched to North American species, particularly grand (Abies grandis) and noble (Abies procera) firs. Provenance tests were established for A. alba, A. amabilis, A. grandis, and A. procera. Other silver fir species were trialled in forest plots with varying success. Although species such as grand fir have proved highly productive on favourable sites, their initial slow growth on new planting sites and limited tolerance of the moist nutrient-poor soils characteristic of upland Britain restricted their use in the afforestation programmes of the last century. As a consequence, in 2010, there were about 8000 ha of Abies species in Britain, comprising less than one per cent of the forest area. Recent species trials have confirmed that best growth is on mineral soils and that, in open ground conditions, establishment takes longer than for other conifers. However, changes in forest policies increasingly favour the use of Continuous Cover Forestry and the shade tolerant nature of many fir species makes them candidates for use with selection or shelterwood silvicultural systems.

Within the great diversity of pines in Mexico, Pinus culminicola Andresen et Beaman, P. jaliscana Perez de la Rosa, P. maximartinenzii Rzed., P. nelsonii Shaw, P. pinceana Gordon, and P. rzedowskii Madrigal et M. Caball. are six catalogued as threatened or endangered due to their restricted distribution and low population density. Therefore, they are of special interest for forest conservation purposes. In this paper, we aim to provide up-to-date information on the spatial distribution of these six pine species according to different historical registers coming from different herbaria distributed around the country by using spatial modeling. Therefore, we recovered historical observations of the natural distribution of each species and modelled suitable areas of distribution according to environmental requirements. Finally, we evaluated the distributions by contrasting changes of vegetation in the period 1991–2016.

  • The Tolerance of Pinus Patula 3 Pinus Tecunumanii, and Other Pine Hybrids, to Fusarium Circinatum in Greenhouse Trials
    New Forests (2013) 44:443–456 DOI 10.1007/s11056-012-9355-3 The tolerance of Pinus patula 3 Pinus tecunumanii, and other pine hybrids, to Fusarium circinatum in greenhouse trials R. G. Mitchell • M. J. Wingfield • G. R. Hodge • E. T. Steenkamp • T. A. Coutinho Received: 7 August 2011 / Accepted: 29 June 2012 / Published online: 10 July 2012 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012 Abstract The field survival of Pinus patula seedlings in South Africa is frequently below acceptable standards. From numerous studies it has been determined that this is largely due to the pitch canker fungus, Fusarium circinatum. Other commercial pines, such as P. elliottii and P. taeda, show good tolerance to this pathogen and better survival, but have inferior wood properties and do not grow as well as P. patula on many sites in the summer rainfall regions of South Africa. There is, thus, an urgent need to improve the tolerance of P. patula to F. circinatum. Operational experience indicates that when P. patula is hybridized with tolerant species, such as P. tecunumanii and P. oocarpa, survival is greatly improved on the warmer sites of South Africa. Field studies on young trees suggest that this is due to the improved tolerance of these hybrids to F. circinatum. In order to test the tolerance of a number of pine hybrids, the pure species representing the hybrid parents, as well as individual families of P. patula 9 P. tecunumanii, a series of greenhouse screening trials were conducted during 2008 and 2009. The results indicated that species range in tolerance and hybrids, between P.
