  • Prairie Or Woodland? Reconstructing Past Plant Communities at Good Earth State Park Via Soil Core and Tree Ring Analysis
    Proceedings of the South Dakota Academy of Science, Vol. 94 (2015) 227 PRAIRIE OR WOODLAND? RECONSTRUCTING PAST PLANT COMMUNITIES AT GOOD EARTH STATE PARK VIA SOIL CORE AND TREE RING ANALYSIS Craig N. Spencer1*, Mason D. VanEssen1, Elizabeth A. Renner1, and W. Carter Johnson2 1Biology Department Augustana University Sioux Falls, South Dakota 57197 2Department of Natural Resource Management South Dakota State University Brookings, SD 57007 *Corresponding author email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The hills and ravines of oodG Earth State Park, located in southeastern South Dakota, currently support extensive woodlands interspersed with small upland prairies. Analysis of stable carbon isotopes from soil cores suggests that the prairies were much more extensive in the past and that the woodlands have expanded in recent years. Soil carbon isotope values (δ13C) from forested ravines and upland prairie sites show a strong C4 native grass signature, around -16‰ at the deeper depths, suggesting widespread prairie dominance throughout the park in the past. At the forested sites, δ13C values decreased significantly towards the soil surface reaching average values from -23 to -25‰. Such values are characteristic of C3 woody plants, providing evidence that over time, woodlands have replaced the native prairies. By contrast, soil cores from the few remaining upland prairie sites showed consistent δ13C values from top to bottom, around -16‰, suggesting these sites have remained dominated by prairies for many years. Tree core samples taken from the larger bur oaks (Quercus macrocarpa) at Good Earth yielded maximum ages of approximately 125 years. The apparent absence of older trees in the park is consistent with the stable isotope analysis suggesting that the woodlands at Good Earth have appeared rather recently.

  • Foundation's 2020 Annual Report
    FOUNDATION’S 2020 ANNUAL REPORT The Trail of Governors project survived the year 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic by hitting pause. The Trail of Governors Foundation board members decided to hold off on hosting an unveiling ceremony or installing new statues. The actual trail remains as it appeared at the start of 2020, with 25 bronze statues. While in pause mode, the board was still obligated to make payments to the artists for their work to-date on the year’s commissioned statues. Attempts to seek donors and payments from those that relayed interest in donating pre-Covid-19 were dismal given the economic uncertainty and health concerns brought by the pandemic. Therefore, board members and advisors got busy filling out applications for grants to find financial assistance. The project was awarded two grants, one from the South Dakota Small Business Grant for $80,000 and one from the South Dakota Humanities Council’s CARES Relief Act for $10,000. These grants provided the necessary support to make M.Charles Michael Herreid Rounds – 4th- 31st Governor Governor of Southof South Dakota Dakota payments to the 2020 – now year 2021 – sculptors. 2020 Trail of Governors Annual Report Charles H.

    PFIZER PAC & CORPORATE POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS REPORT 2005 – 2006 CYCLE Learn which candidates we supported in your community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS A Message From Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC Dear Colleagues: One of our five immediate priorities at Pfizer is to engage more actively and meaningfully with patients, doctors, payers, governments and other key stakeholders. We’re reaching out to these important groups and working harder to meet their needs. We're also working harder to engage all stakeholders in the dialogue on health policy and actively participate in the discussion over how to improve the quality of healthcare, access to medicines, and incentives for innovation. Pfizer PAC is one of the key ways in which we engage with candidates for public office. Through Pfizer PAC, we support candidates who understand the importance of innovative life sciences companies like Pfizer in fighting disease, improving health outcomes, and ensuring access to vital medicines. This report includes a list of candidates and political committees that Pfizer PAC supported during the 2005-06 election cycle. I hope you will take some time to review this report and see which candidates Pfizer PAC supported in your region. This was a successful year for Pfizer PAC. In the past election cycle, Pfizer PAC supported more than 2,277 candidates from both political parties, and at all levels of government. You, and Pfizer colleagues across America, definitely made a difference this past year through Pfizer PAC, by supporting candidates for public office who value access and innovation in healthcare.

You will find it to be challenging and sometimes tiring, and I’m certain you will always find it to be enjoyable and educational. If this government “….of the people, by the people, and for the people” is to remain strong, it requires the involvement of its citizens. The onus of preparing for that responsibility now rests squarely upon your shoulders, and those of future generations. For eighty-three plus years, American Legion Boys State has been prominent in producing young men, just like you, ready to accept that responsibility.
