Surface CO and ozone data were obtained in 1998 at Happo (36.7°N, 137.8°E, altitude 1840 m) in Japan. Backward trajectory analysis was applied to get the origin of the air mass to the measuring site. The air mass is basically coming from the west over the Asian continent except…

Other than land clearing for urban development (Wear and others 1998) no disturbance is more common in southern forests than fire. The pervasive role of fire predates human activity in the South (Komarek 1964, 1974)), and humans magnified that role. Repeating patterns of fire…

From the Introduction ... "A 1985 survey by the Soil Conservation Service indicated that eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana) and ashe juniper (I. ashei) had invaded almost 1.5 million acres in Oklahoma by 1950 and 3.5 million acres by 1985 (Snook 1985). The invasion of…
