Lakes of Oregon, Volume 4: Clackamas County
M.V. Shulters
1976, Report

Much of the information on lakes and reservoirs previously collected by Federal and State agencies has never...
Coral reef recovery in Florida and the Persian Gulf
Eugene A. Shinn
1976, Environmental Geology (1) 241-254
Long-term observations and study of coral reef destruction by hurricanes in the Florida Keys show, surprisingly, that although corals are devastated on a grand scale during storms, recovery is rapid. Recovery occurs because of the widespread scattering of live fragments, many of which become growth sites...

A reward band study of mallards to estimate band reporting rates
Charles J. Henny, K.P. Burnham
1976, Journal of Wildlife Management (40) 1-14
Reward bands ($10) were placed on 2,122 hatching-year mallards (Anas platyrhynchos), and an additional 11,490 received conventional bands (controls) to estimate band reporting rates. An analysis of band recoveries indicated that the reporting rate was dependent primarily upon three factors: (1) the distance banded birds were recovered from the banding...

Flood frequency of Mississippi streams
B.E. Colson, James W. Hudson
1976, Report
Techniques have been developed for estimating future flood magnitudes having recurrence intervals as great as 100 years. Estimates for gaged sites were obtained by application of the log-Pearson Type III frequency distribution. Estimates for ungaged sites are defined by mathematical relations which may be solved using data from topographic maps....

1976, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the International Symposium on biology and management of mangroves
The structure and function of mangrove communities in the Jewfish Chain, Exumas, Bahamas, were investigated for 3-1/2 years. Mangrove vegetation in the Jewfish Chain is similar to that in all the Caribbean-Florida area; Rhizophora mangle L. dominates and is interspersed with Avicennia germinans (L.) Lamk. and Laguncularia racemosa (L.) Gaertn. There is no apparent zonation of...
