by Slims Llttle Jack McCormlck 4ohn W. Andresen U.S.D.A. FOREST SERVICE RESEARCH PAPER NE- 164 1970 NORTHEASTERN FOREST EXPERIMENT STATION. UPPER DARBY. PA. FOREST SERVICE, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE RICHARD D. LANE. DIRECTOR FOREWORD HE AUTHORS have attempted to include in this bibliography all T articles that contain significant original information about pitch pine or that are comprehe~sivereview; Secondary sources, such as text- books that briefly review the literature on specifi; subjects, are omitted. Articles on local floras are included only if they provide new, revised, or more detailed information about the distribution or abundance of pitch pine. The bibliography is undoubtedly incomplete. Significant articles in foreign languages may have escaped our notice-as well as some published in this country. In addition, publications on new research results will soon make this bibliography out of date. The authors will welcome references to articles that should be included in any revision. The table of contents lists the subjects under which the references have been placed. The arrangement is by (1) subject, (2) author in alphabetical order, and (3) date of publication. Papers that include information on more than one of the subject categories are listed only under the subject most strongly emphasized in the paper. Consequently, users of this bibliography should examine references listed under related subjects for papers that might be pertinent to their interests. For example, references to papers dealing with prescribed burning may be found in four places: (1) in the section on Silviculture alzd Muiza~emelztunder Natural Regeneration; in the section on Forest Ecology under both (2) Plant Sociology and (3) Atnzos- pheric a?ld Biotic Relatio~zs;and (4) in the section on Forest Damage and Protection under Fire. To facilitate use of the bibliography, an index of authors is included. This index is arranged alphabetically by authors' surnames and initials, and it lists for each author or co-author the numbers of references included in the bibliography. A few committee reports and government publications are listed under the titles of the organization or committee, but only those in which the principal author is not identified. Though in the annotations the authors attempted to abstract very briefly the information in each paper, the abstracts are necessarily incomplete. THE AUTHORS SILAS LITTLE is a principal silviculturist for the North- eastern Forest Experiment Station, Upper Darby, Pa. He received his B.S. degree from Massachusetts State College and M.F. and Ph.D degrees from Yale University. Since 1936 he has been employed by the USDA Forest Service, mostly on silvicultural and fire research in New Jersey, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Several of his studies in New Jersey have dealt with pitch pine. JACK McCORMICK is chairman of the Department of Ecology and Land Management of The Acadamy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. His degrees include a B.S. from Butler University and a Ph.D from Rutgers University. He was formerly in charge of vegetation studies at The American Museum of Natural History and later was an assistant pro- fessor of botany at Ohio State University. He became inter- ested in pitch pine while studying the vegetation of the New Jersey Pine Barrens for his Ph.D thesis. JOHN W. ANDRESEN is chairman of the Forestry Depart- ment of Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. He re- ceived his B.S. degree from the New York State University College of Forestry at Syracuse University and his Ph.D. degree from Rutgers University. He taught at Rutgers Uni- versity and Michigan State University before going to Southern Illinois University. Like McCormick, he became interested in pitch pine while a graduate student at Rutgers University.

    THE GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE PASSAIC FALLS Paterson New Jersey Bv WILLIAM NELSON PATERSON, N. J. : THE PRESS PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY. 1892. COPYRIGHT x892 Bv WILLIAM NELSON The Passaic Falls are the most remarkable bit of natural scenery in New Jersey. In some respects they are unique. For more than two centuries they have been visited by travelers from all parts of the world. Their peculiar formation, and the strange rocks in the neighborhood, have excited the wonder and curiosity of all beholders, and have of ten suggested the thought, "How was this cataract formed? Why these peculiar 1·ocks and mountains?" In preparing a History of the City of Paterson-a city which was located at the Great Falls to take advantage of the water-power-the writer's attention was naturally di­ rected to the question which has arisen in the minds of all who have stood at the spot where the Passaic river takes its mad plunge over the precipice. In the following pages he has attempted an answer, by giving some account of the Geological History of the Passaic Falls. This paper is the first Chapter of the more extended History of Paterson mentioned. Only one hundred copies have been printed separately in this form. The writer will be pleased to receive suggestions and corrections from any who may receive a copy of this pamphlet. The references and notes have been made full, as a guide to those unfamiliar with the subject, who may wish to pursue it further. PATERSON, N. J., November 24, 1892.

    Section 4.2.2.2

    4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS 4.1 GEOLOGY 4.1.1 Existing Resources 4.1.1.1 Geologic Setting The proposed LX Project is located entirely in the Kanawha Section of the Appalachian Plateaus physiographic province. The Appalachian Plateaus consist primarily of Pennsylvanian and Permian layered deposits, with Quaternary Alluvium overlying most geologic formations (USGS, 2015a). Elevations along the project range from 455 feet to 1,500 feet above mean sea level (USGS, 2015b). Topography in the project area ranges from relatively flat-lying rocks and rolling hills to steep slopes, with a local relief of up to several hundred feet (West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey [WVGES], 2004a; Greene County Government, 2013; ODNR, 2014a). The proposed RXE Project Grayson CS is located in the region known as the Eastern Kentucky Coal Field (Kentucky Geological Survey [KGS], 2012a), in an area of Quaternary alluvium composed of sand, silt, clay, and gravel created by floodplain deposits of present day streams. The thickness of the alluvium ranges from 0 to 60 feet (Whittington and Ferm, 1967). The proposed RXE Project Means CS is located within the Lexington Plains Section of the Interior Low Plateaus physiographic province (USGS, 2015a), in a region known as The Knobs, that consists of hundreds of isolated, steep-sloping, cone-shaped hills (KGS, 2012b). The nearest knob, Kashs Knob, is approximately one-quarter mile north of the proposed compressor station site (USGS, 1975). The USDA Soil Conservation Survey (SCS) County soil survey information indicates there are restrictive layers (potentially shallow bedrock) within the upper five feet of the ground surface at both CS locations (USDA SCS, 1974 and 1983).

    1 Quantifying Avian and Forest Communities to Understand

    Quantifying avian and forest communities to understand interdependencies of ecological systems and inform forest bird conservation Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bryce Timothy Adams Graduate Program in Environment and Natural Resources The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee Stephen N. Matthews, Advisor Robert J. Gates Chris M. Tonra Laura J. Kearns Louis R. Iverson 1 Copyrighted by Bryce Timothy Adams 2018 2 Abstract Forests represent the largest terrestrial biome on Earth, providing a wealth of ecological and social services. Their effective conservation and management under intensifying anthropogenic threats, climate change, and shifting disturbance regimes hinges on an accurate knowledge of ecological process and spatial pattern to address questions related to their dynamics, how they are changing, and what resources they provide to wildlife. Predictive models are currently the main tools used to quantify landscape-level forest parameters and resource use of wildlife communities. Advances in remote sensing technologies and new, innovative ways to characterize these data offer great potential for improved quantification and monitoring of ecological systems. My overall research seeks to integrate new methodologies for landscape-level quantification of avian and forest communities and to investigate interrelationships that inform forest bird conservation in southeastern Ohio. The study area, positioned within the Central Hardwoods Region, displays a pronounced floristic gradient, recognized as one of the most speciose forested regions in the eastern US. I sampled avian and woody plant assemblages across a spectrum of forest stands with different vegetation composition and structure within six study sites during 2015 and 2016.

Each of them has been a constant source of support. Finishing my undergraduate studies and writing this thesis during the COVID-19 pandemic has been difficult, and I am certain I am not alone in this sentiment, but their emotional support has definitely made this process easier. Additionally, thank you to Scott Smith, captain of the “S.S. Airbag,” the boat without which I could not have reached some of my study plots. I would also like to express my thanks to my thesis advisor, Dr. James Dyer. Without his assistance throughout this process, from field work to editing, this thesis would not have been possible.
