  • Chugach National Forest Planning Area and the Three Different Geographic Areas of the National Forest
    Chapter 2 Ecological Conditions and Trends Chapter 2 Ecological Conditions and Trends Introduction Chapter 1 described the Chugach National Forest planning area and the three different geographic areas of the national forest. This chapter describes the overall ecological integrity of the area. Ecological integrity for this assessment is defined as: “The quality or condition of an ecosystem when its dominant ecological characteristics (for example, composition, structure, function, connectivity, and species composition and diversity) occur within the natural range of variation and can withstand and recover from most perturbations imposed by natural environmental dynamics or human influence.” (36 CFR 219.19) The ecosystems described in this chapter include terrestrial (soils, vegetation, and wildlife), aquatic (freshwater and coastal marine ecology) and the interface between the two (riparian areas and wetlands).These ecosystems are evaluated at the forestwide and geographic area scales where appropriate. Key characteristics of each ecosystem are identified, including species composition and diversity, structure, function, and connectivity. Existing conditions and trends of the key characteristics are described for each ecosystem. System drivers are also discussed and include dominant ecological processes, disturbance regimes, and stressors for the different ecosystems. This chapter also includes a discussion of federally recognized threatened, endangered, proposed, and candidate species that occur within the Chugach National Forest and a discussion of potential species of conservation concern. It concludes with a discussion and summary findings of the ability of the aquatic, terrestrial, and riparian ecosystems in the plan area to adapt to a rapidly changing climate. Physical properties of the environment both constrain and enable the development of some ecological systems within the Chugach National Forest.

  • Nymagee Copper: Birth, Death and Resurrection?
    Journal of Australasian Mining History, Vol. 15, 2017 Nymagee copper: Birth, death and resurrection? By KEN MCQUEEN University of Canberra he discovery of rich copper ore at Cobar in September 1870 by three itinerant tank sinkers resulted in a boom in copper prospecting throughout this region of T northwestern New South Wales. Awareness that this was ‘copper country’ meant that the local population, as well as experienced prospectors, were alert for the telltale signs of green and blue copper carbonates. A number of new discoveries were made by pastoral workers, who had the opportunity to traverse and closely examine the landscape. One such discovery was made at Nymagee by two shepherds, partly assisted by a knowledgeable boundary rider. The discovery was inspected and purchased by Russell Barton, one of the major investors in the Cobar copper mines. A private company was quickly formed and mining rapidly developed. The subsequent history of the Nymagee mine followed a pattern similar to that of other copper mines in the Cobar region. Early mining was of rich, near-surface carbonate-oxide ore and secondary supergene sulphides. Reverberatory furnaces were built on site to effectively smelt the ore. As mining progressed, primary sulphide ores were encountered and new metallurgical methods had to be introduced. Key factors affecting the economic viability of the mine were major fluctuations in the copper price, uncertainty of water supply, depletion of local fuel resources and the cost of transport. Unlike the Cobar mines, Nymagee was never connected to the railway network and this disadvantage combined with rising costs, labour shortages and uncertainty over copper prices led to closure of the mine in 1917.
