The California Valley grassland
Jon E. Keeley
Allan A. Schoenherr, editor(s)
1990, Book chapter, Endangered Plant Communities of Southern California: Proceedings of the 15th Annual Symposium
Grasslands are distributed throughout California from Oregon to Baja California Norte and from the coast to the desert (Brown 1982) (Figure 1). This review will focus on the dominant formation in cismontane California, a community referred to as Valley Grassland (Munz 1959). Today, Valley Grassland is dominated by...
Introduction to stratigraphy and hydrocarbon occurrence in Oligocene and Miocene rocks of the Santa Barbara-Ventura and Santa Maria Basins of California
Margaret A. Keller
Mary K. McGowen, editor(s)
1990, Conference Paper, Miocene and Oligocene petroleum reservoirs of the Santa Maria and Santa Barbara-Ventura Basins, California
The Santa Barbara-Ventura and Santa Maria basins of southern California have been of great interest to the oil industry because oil or gas has been produced from nearly all the sedimentary units ranging in age from the Cretaceous to the Pleistocene. In particular, the Neogene section of these basins is...

Evaluation of wildlife-habitat relationships data base for predicting bird community composition in central California chaparral and blue oak woodlands
M.L. Avery, Charles van Riper III
1990, California Fish and Game (76)
The California Wildlife-Habitat Relationships (WHR) database can be used to assist resource managers to evaluate effects of habitat manipulations on wildlife. The accuracy of predictions from WHR was evaluated using data from bird surveys conducted during winter and spring 1984 and 1985 in chamise (Adenostema fasciculata) chaparral, mixed chaparral and...

Geochemistry of highly fractionated I- and S-type granites from the tin-tungsten province of western Tasmania
Wayne N. Sawka, M.T. Heizler, R. W. Kistler, B. W. Chappell
Holly J. Stein, Judith L. Hannah, editor(s)
1990, Book chapter, Ore-bearing granite systems; petrogenesis and mineralizing processes
The Devonian batholiths of western Tasmania represent a diverse assemblage of highly fractionated intrusions (70 to 77 percent SiO2) that are the products of different source materials. The Housetop batholith exhibits compositional affinities to a fluorine-rich I-type magma. The Meredith batholith also has characteristics indicative of I-type source materials. The...

Paleogeographic setting of upper Paleozoic rocks in the northern Sierra and eastern Klamath terranes, northern California
David S. Harwood, M. Meghan Miller
1990, Book chapter, Paleozoic and early Mesozoic paleogeographic relations; Sierra Nevada, Klamath Mountains, and related terranes
Upper Paleozoic rocks of the northern Sierra and eastern Klamath terranes provide detailed stratigraphic records of ensimatic arc-related sedimentation and magmatism. Comparison of Paleozoic stratigraphic relations between the two terranes, however, suggests certain contrasts in depositional environments and the nature, volume, and timing of volcanism for given time intervals. Some...

Age and depositional setting of siliceous sediments in the upper Paleozoic Havallah sequence near Battle Mountain, Nevada; Implications for the paleogeography and structural evolution of the western margin of North America
Benita L. Murchey
David S. Harwood, M. Meghan Miller, editor(s)
1990, Book chapter, Paleozoic and early Mesozoic paleogeographic relations; Sierra Nevada, Klamath Mountains, and related terranes
The upper Paleozoic Havallah sequence of central Nevada is a folded and thrust-faulted association of greenstone, siliceous marine sedimentary rocks, and deep-water clastic rocks. Microfossil assemblages (radiolarians, sponge spicules, and conodonts) are used as tools to unravel the stratigraphy and to interpret the paleoenvironments of the siliceous sedimentary rocks. Nine...
Synthesis of soil-plant correspondence data from twelve wetland studies throughout the United States
C.A. Segelquist, W.L. Slauson, M. L. Scott, Gregor T. Auble
1990, Report
This report synthesizes the information collected for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in a series of 12 studies designed to describe the relation between soils and vegetation in wetlands located in 11 States throughout the United States. Results of the study demonstrated almost complete agreement between hydric soils and...
Monitoring long-term effects of offshore oil and gas development along the Southern California outer continental shelf and slope: Background environmental conditions in the Santa Maria Basin
Jeffrey Hyland, Dane Hardin, E.A. Crecelius, David Drake, Paul A. Montagna, Margarete Steinhauer
1990, Oil and Chemical Pollution (6) 195-240
Potential environmental impacts of materials discharged from oil and gas development and production platforms off the coast of southern California (Santa Maria Basin) are being monitored during an ongoing, long-term (fiveyear) field program. The study combines hypothesis testing of platform effects...
Biostratigraphic, tectonic, and paleogeographic ties between upper Paleozoic volcanic and basinal rocks in the northern Sierra terrane, California, and the Havallah sequence, Nevada
David S. Harwood, Benita L. Murchey
M. Meghan Miller, editor(s)
1990, Book chapter, Paleozoic and early Mesozoic paleogeographic relations; Sierra Nevada, Klamath Mountains, and related terranes
Biostratigraphic data, based mostly on radiolarian assemblages, establish synchronous deposition in the northern Sierra terrane and the Havallah basin beginning in the Late Devonian and extending into the early Late Permian. Lower Mississippian and mid-Permian arc-derived volcaniclastic debris was deposited in parts of the Havallah basin during episodes of arc...
Fire hazards at the urban-wildland interface: what the public expects
Hanna J. Cortner, Philip D. Gardner, Jonathan G. Taylor
1990, Environmental Management (14) 57-62
Urban-wildland issues have become among the most contentious and problematic issues for forest managers. Using data drawn from surveys conducted by the authors and others, this article discusses how public knowledge and perceptions of fire policies and fire hazards change over time, the kinds of policy responses homeowners prefer as...

Seismic imaging of extended crust with emphasis on the western United States
Jill McCarthy, George A. Thompson
R. D. Hatcher Jr., W.A. Thomas, editor(s)
1990, Book chapter, Centennial articles
Understanding of the crust has improved dramatically following the application of seismic reflection and refraction techniques to studies of the deep crust. This is particularly true in areas where the last tectonic event was extensional, such as the Basin and Range province of the western United States and much of...
Stratigraphy and tectonics of Paleozoic arc-related rocks of the northernmost Sierra Nevada, California; The eastern Klamath and northern Sierra terranes
Angela S. Jayko
David S. Harwood, M. Meghan Miller, editor(s)
1990, Book chapter, Paleozoic and early Mesozoic paleogeographic relations; Sierra Nevada, Klamath Mountains, and related terranes
The Eastern Klamath and Northern Sierra terranes of northern California consist of Devonian to Jurassic arc-related rocks that structurally and/or stratigraphically overlie Devonian(?) or older complexes that consist of quartzite, quartzofeldspathic sandstone, chert, and mafic and ultramafic rocks. These terranes lie within a regional belt of Paleozoic arc-related rocks that...
