  • An Environmental History of the Middle Rio Grande Basin
    United States Department of From the Rio to the Sierra: Agriculture Forest Service An Environmental History of Rocky Mountain Research Station the Middle Rio Grande Basin Fort Collins, Colorado 80526 General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-5 Dan Scurlock i Scurlock, Dan. 1998. From the rio to the sierra: An environmental history of the Middle Rio Grande Basin. General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-5. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 440 p. Abstract Various human groups have greatly affected the processes and evolution of Middle Rio Grande Basin ecosystems, especially riparian zones, from A.D. 1540 to the present. Overgrazing, clear-cutting, irrigation farming, fire suppression, intensive hunting, and introduction of exotic plants have combined with droughts and floods to bring about environmental and associated cultural changes in the Basin. As a result of these changes, public laws were passed and agencies created to rectify or mitigate various environmental problems in the region. Although restoration and remedial programs have improved the overall “health” of Basin ecosystems, most old and new environmental problems persist. Keywords: environmental impact, environmental history, historic climate, historic fauna, historic flora, Rio Grande Publisher’s Note The opinions and recommendations expressed in this report are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the USDA Forest Service.

Bowden: Spanish and Mexican Land Grants in the Southwest University of Wyoming College of Law LAND AND WATER LAW REVIEW VOL Vill 1973 NUMBER 2 As a result of the Mexican War the United States acquired over five hundred thousand square miles of land. Although the United States was obligated by principles of international law and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to recognize all valid land grants made by Spain and Mexico, it was over fifty years before this obligation was completely fulfilled. In this article Mr. Bowden traces the history of the United States' efforts to solve the land grant problem. SPANISH AND MEXICAN LAND GRANTS IN THE SOUTHWEST J. J. Bowden* INTRODUCTION C ONTRARY to the avowed policy' of the United States not to prosecute a war for the purpose of securing additional territory, President James K. Polk, following the outbreak of hostilities with Mexico, formulated a plan for the speedy military conquest and possession of New Mexico and Cali- fornia in order to insure their acquisition by the United States when peace was made.' To implement Polk's plan, Colonel Stephen Watts Kearny, Commander of the Army of the West, was ordered to seize Santa Fe and thereafter proceed to the coast to assist in the conquest of California.

This species richness compares with the more tropical regions of southern Mexico (e.g., Bajío region, Veracruz) and Central America (Costa Rica, Nicaragua). Convolv species occur in a diverse range of plant communities from intertidal zones to mountain conifer forest, with highest diversity in tropical deciduous forest and oak woodlands in ten major vegetation types: tropical deciduous forest (44), oak woodland (34), Sonoran desert (33), foothills thornscrub (31), coastal thornscrub (30), pine-oak forest (27), grassland (13), Chihuahuan desert (11), coastal salt scrub and mangroves (1), and mixed conifer forest (1).
