Avian use of forest habitats in the Pembina Hills of northeastern North Dakota
Craig A. Faanes, Jonathan M. Andrew
1983, Resource Publication 151
North Dakota has the least extensive total area of forested habitats of any of the 50 United States. Although occurring in limited area, forest communities add considerably to the total ecological diversity of the State. The forests of the Pembina Hills region in northeastern North Dakota are one of only...

This document is part of the Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) Model Series (FWS/OBS-82/10), which provides habitat information useful for impact assessment and habitat management. Several types of habitat i nformat i on are provided. The Habitat Use Information Section is largely constrained to those data that can be used to...
Aquifer systems in the Great Basin region of Nevada, Utah, and adjacent states: A study plan
James R. Harrill, Alan H. Welch, David E. Prudic, James M. Thomas, Rita L. Carman, Russell W. Plume, Joseph S. Gates, James L. Mason
1983, Open-File Report 82-445
The Great Basin Regional Aquifer Study includes about 140,000 square miles in parts of Nevada, Utah, California, Idaho, Oregon, and Arizona. Within that area, 240 hydrographic areas occupy structural depressions formed primarily by basin-and-range faulting. The principal aquifers are in basin- fill deposits; however, permeable carbonate rocks underlie valleys in...
Daily water and sediment discharges from selected rivers of the eastern United States; a time-series modeling approach
Michael G. Fitzgerald, Michael R. Karlinger
1983, Water Supply Paper 2216
Time-series models were constructed for analysis of daily runoff and sediment discharge data from selected rivers of the Eastern United States. Logarithmic transformation and first-order differencing of the data sets were necessary to produce second-order, stationary time series and remove seasonal trends. Cyclic models accounted for less than 42 percent...

Estimating peak discharges of small, rural streams in Massachusetts
S. William Wandle
1983, Water Supply Paper 2214
Floodflows on natural-flow streams in Massachusetts with drainage areas between 0.25 square miles and 260 square miles may be estimated from drainage area, main-channel slope, mean basin elevation, and the area of swamps, lakes, and ponds. Multiple-regression techniques were used to define the relationship between a suite of basin and...
An evaluation of trends in the acidity of precipitation and the related acidification of surface water in North America
John T. Turk
1983, Water Supply Paper 2249
The acidity of precipitation in the Northeastern United States and Southeastern Canada has increased in the past, probably as a result of anthropogenic emissions. The increase in New England and New York occurred primarily before the mid-1950's. Since the mid1960's, there has been no significant change in the acidity of...
