Keeping these forests intact and healthy is crucial to Connecticut’s environment and culture. Forests and trees provide many public benefits, such as clean water, energy savings, carbon sequestration, wildlife habitat and recreation. A full 73% of the forest is owned by private landowners. This means private landowner management and ownership decisions have enormous influence over the quality and extent of our forests - now and into the future. Private landowners include land trusts, corporations, churches, schools, utilities, water companies, clubs, foundations, and families. Families are the largest group, owning about half of Connecticut’s forests. Decisions made by the 140,000 family forest owners collectively enhance or degrade the Connecticut landscape. How they manage their forests and whether or not they convert them to other uses is of significant public interest. It is well known that two of the greatest threats to Connecticut’s forest ecosystem health are increased forest fragmentation and lack of informed forest stewardship and wildlife habitat management on private lands. There were 169,000 fewer acres of core forest1 in Connecticut in 2006 than there were in 1985, a 3.6% decrease (CLEAR 2006). That means that the forest is more fragmented, with fewer large blocks, and more small blocks. More fragmented forests can significantly change wildlife habitat, create pathways for invasive species, and increase edge effects such as increased wind and light. Edges are more susceptible to storm damage and invasive plants. In a forest health study in northwestern Connecticut, presence of invasive plant species was found to be significantly correlated with forest fragmentation (Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies et al. 2012). Private forestland is the forest most at risk of being fragmented and converted for development. Reasonable estimates are that only a very small number of forest landowners are being served by current programs aimed at conservation and sustainable forest management. The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s Division of Forestry is charged with providing assistance to forest landowners throughout Connecticut. However, the resources of the Division are small, with only two service foresters assigned to work with private landowners. Partner conservation organizations such as Audubon Connecticut, Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, University of Connecticut Extension, Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies Quiet Corner Initiative, and others provide a wide variety of landowner assistance. Nevertheless, the capacity to provide adequate support and advice to the 140,000 family forest owners is limited. 1Coreforestisdefinedasanareaofforestthatisatleast300feetfromanedge(e.g.road,field,developedland).

This is the first study of its kind in Connecticut, providing viable state-level data about landowner attitudes and behaviors. The result is a much better understanding of the stewardship objectives and attitudes of the families who own Connecticut’s forests. This allows conservation and forestry professionals to be more strategic in reaching landowners with effective stewardship messages and more successful in developing programs that serve the needs and values of the landowners.

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

May not be copied or reused without express written permission of the publisher. click here to BUY THIS BOOK INTRODUCTION HOW THE BOOK IS ORGANIZED Conifers and broadleaved trees and shrubs are treated separately in this book. Each group has its own set of keys to genera and species, as well as plant descriptions. Plant descriptions are or- ganized alphabetically by genus and then by species. In a few cases, we have included separate subspecies or varieties. Gen- era in which we include more than one species have short generic descriptions and species keys. Detailed species descrip- tions follow the generic descriptions. A species description in- cludes growth habit, distinctive characteristics, habitat, range (including a map), and remarks. Most species descriptions have an illustration showing leaves and either cones, flowers, or fruits. Illustrations were drawn from fresh specimens with the intent of showing diagnostic characteristics. Plant rarity is based on rankings derived from the California Native Plant Society and federal and state lists (Skinner and Pavlik 1994). Two lists are presented in the appendixes. The first is a list of species grouped by distinctive morphological features. The second is a checklist of trees and shrubs indexed alphabetically by family, genus, species, and common name.
