Effects of chaparral-to-grass conversion on wildfire suppression costs
USDA Forest Service, Research Paper RM-119
Properly planned, carried out, and maintained chaparral-to-grass conversion should reduce the occurrence of large, expensive wildfires. Dollar values of 'fire benefits' were calculated for 141 convertible areas in Arizona's Salt-Verde Basin. The fire benefit, though not as high as water and forage benefits resulting from conversion, is an important addition to a benefit-cost analysis. While transference of dollar values to other areas is tenuous, the methodology is transferable and can be very useful planning tool.

On the economics of timber damage appraisal for public forests
Journal of Forestry 76:777-780
Damage appraisal is the basis for fire-suppression decisions. Where timber is managed for production of maximum site rent, appraisal is a matter of applying standard financial criteria in a 'with and without' procedure. Where the aim is maximum mean annual increment, as it often is on public forests, this procedure may yield seemingly incongruous results. Ignoring 'with and without' in public decisionmaking may result in overexpenditure for fire suppression.

Multicriterion decision-making for sustainable watershed resources management
Pure Mathematics and Applications 5:379-390
Two watersheds in the pinyon-juniper woodlands of north-central Arizona that had been subjected to conversion treatments to affect multiple use values are compared to a third watershed that remained as a control. Multicriterion decision-making techniques were useful in evaluating the two treatments in a multiple use context. The problem confronted is discrete with quantitative and qualitative criteria. The normalized weighting method was used and a sensitivity analysis performed in fnding the most apprpriate treatment.

Uncertainty in multicriterion watershed management problems
Technology: Journal of the Franklin Institute 332A:199-307
A Multiple Criterion Decision Making (MCDM) problem, where the payoff values were considered uncertain, is examined. This uncertainty was treated by a special simulation methods, where 100,000 random payoff matrices were genrated, and the best decision alternative selected for each case by the nromalized weighting method. This combination of MCDM methodology and stochastic simulation is the basis for a special expert system which was used in this study and can be applied in similar cases of watershed management. This study shows that simulation provides more realistic decisions and, therefore, is recommended to practitioners when the required data inputs are available.

Little or no management was historically required for non-market products from our forested lands because of the limited demand and plentiful supply. Now, there are more people with more sophisticated wants, more education, more political awareness, more leisure time, and more money to spend. As a result, there are tremendous pressure being applied to manage natural resources not only for market products but also for non-market products as well.

Overland flow and sediment delivery were insignificant on 14 small subdrainages in the pine type. Sediment sources were roads and erosion pavements but sediment from undisturbed forest floor areas was practically nil. Most erosion pavements were believed to be the result of selected timber harvest 42 years ago and hypotheses on their development are proposed.

The influence of vegetation and its spatial distribution on sediment delivery from selected Arizona forests and woodlands
In: Erosion control: stay in tune, proceedings of the 19th International Erosion Control Association conference, New Orleans, Louisiana, February 25-26, 1988, p. 383-392
Overland flow and sediment delivery processes in ponderosa pine, mixed conifer, pinyon-juniper, and chaparral watersheds show that spatial distribution of vegetation is more important than vegetation type for erosion control. Sediment delivery was practically nonexistent where buffer strips grew below nonwooded areas.

Applicability of selected sediment transport equations to pinyon-juniper woodlands
MS Thesis, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona
None of 8 sediment transport formulas tested accurately predicted the sediment discharges measured on three pinyon-juniper watersheds in north-central Arizona. However, a logarithmic correction factor was developed to adjust the predictions obtained from the formulas to represent the actual measurements.

Comparison of sediment discharge predictions for small watersheds in the southwestern United States
International Journal of Sediment Research 11:22-33
Streamflow-sediment discharges from three pinyon-juniper watersheds were used to test the applicability of two total-load formulas, those developed by Yang and Engelund-Hansen. The comparison shows that the formulas over-predicted sediment discharges in ephemeral streams under the sediment supply-limited conditions studied. A logarithmic relationship adjusted the sediment discharges computed by the formulas to provide satisfactory predictions of sediment-transport rates.

Producer-consumer biomass in Arizona ponderosa pine
USDA Forest Service, General Technical Report RM-56.
Managed ponderosa pine forests in central Arizona support above-ground biomass of approximately 60,000 to 80,000 kg/ha. Consumer biomass is only about 8 to 12 kg/ha. Livestock dominate, followed by elk, deer, insects, and small mammals. Forest openings have much less green foliage than the forest, but support three to five times the herbivore biomass per hectare because of the predominance of herbaceous plants.

In: Everett, R.L., compiler, Proceedings of the Pinyon-juniper Conference, January 13-16, 1986, Reno, Nevada. USDA Forest Service General Technical Report INT-215. pp. 440-447.
Broad comparisons of published data suggest that grazed plant communities may have substantially less herbage production than ungrazed plant communities. Continuous season-long grazing at proper stocking rates appears to produce the heaviest calf weights in summer rainfall areas, but no information is available from other parts of the woodlands.

In: Ffolliott, P.F., and G. Halffter, technical coordinators. Social and environmental consequences of natural resources policies, with special emphasis on biosphere reserves. USDA Forest Service, General Technical Report RM-88, pp. 21-23.
The concept of biosphere reserves involves a broader philosophy of conservation than contained in earlier policies for livestock grazing in the western United States. Biosphere reserves provide those who set natural resource policy or use the land with a better understanding of the long-term dangers of improper grazing management.

Variation in leaf anatomy and CO2 assimilation in Sitanion hystrix ecotypes
Great Basin Naturalist 39:427-432.
Collections of Sitanion hystrix known to differ in phenological development, height, dry matter production, and total water use were examined for possible differences in leaf anatomy and in CO2 assimilation rates. Collections originating in warm, dry habitats produced the narrowest leaves with the lfewest veins. CO2 assimilation rates were similar on per-unit weight basic, therefore, total assimilation varied as a function of plant size.

Relationship of different forest floor layers to herbage production
USDA Forest Service, Research Note RM-123.
Herbage production decreases as individual layers and total depth of the forest floor increases. The H layer or total depth of the forest floor accounts for more variation in herbage production than the L or F layers. Management practices which remove only the L and F layers cannot be expected to increase herbage production appreciably.

In: Hyder, D.N., editor. Proceedings of the first international rangeland congress, Denver, Colorado, August 14-18, Society of Range Management. p. 600-602.
Despite the climatic and ecological differences between cool semiarid and subtropical pine forested ranges, available data suggest that their potentials for beef production are similar. Better forage quality in the semiarid region tends to compensate for more forage in the subtropical region. Longleaf-slash pine forest ranges have greater potential for the production of beef in combination with timber than ponderosa pine ranges.

Influence of Gambel oak on radial growth of southwestern ponderosa pine: A dendrochronological study
Master's Thesis, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona.
Radial growth of sampled trees fluctuated around a relatively constant level during the prior 50 years (1936-1985). Differences in this level were related to differences in competition, presence of oak, age of ponderosa pine trees, and site index. Pine growth increased with increasing oak presence and decreasing intraspecific competition.

Evaluation of ponderosa pine reforestation techniques in central Arizona
USDA Forest Service, Research Paper RM-190.
Regeneration studies--seeding, planting, and natural--over the past 15 years on several areas indicate that direct seeding offers little hope of success. Failure is attributed to seasonal drought intensified by clay soils and competing vegetation. Tree planting has been consistently more successful.

Effects of ponderosa pine treatments on water yield in Arizona

Annual water yields are determined for a combination of three levels of overstory removal and thinning applied on pine watersheds. Water yield increases from a completely cleared watershed are significant for 7 years, only losing significance after recovery and growth of Gambel oak and herbaceous vegetation. Longest response in water yield (10 years) is from a heavily thinned watershed and is attributed to the inherent runoff efficiency of the basin.

In: Troendle, C.A., Merrill R. Kaufmann, R.H. Hamre, and R.P. Winokur, Technical Coordinators. Management of subalpine forests: building on 50 years of research. USDA Forest Service, General Technical Report RM-149, pp. 211-215.
Although water yield from a basin is a function of a number of factors, soil depth is foremost in explaining hydrograph differences from the study area. The most attenuated hydrograph is in the chaparral vegetation type, which has the greatest soil depth, while the most responsive or peaked hydrographs are in the pinyon-juniper and ponderosa pine types, which have soil depths of 3 feet or less.

Selection of silvicultural systems for water
In: Baumgartner, D.M., and J.E. Lotan, editors. Ponderosa pine: The species and its management. Symposium proceedings, Spokane, Washington, September 29-October 1, pp. 201-211.
Water yields from the ponderosa pine type in the United States averages from 3 to 5 inches per year. Opportunities to increase yields exist, but because of its situation in lower elevations and precipitation zones, the potential is not as great as it is in the higher subalpine zone.

Community development in two adjacent pinyon-juniper eradication areas twenty-five years after treatment
Journal of Environmental Management 8:237-247.
As a range improvement project, 26-year-old pinyon-juniper trees in north-central Arizona were bulldozed to release forage and grasses. Most tests showed that a transmission line corridor in the same habitat was generally different from the native woodland, while the range improvement area was not significantly different from either the corridor or the native condition, suggesting that it was in an intermediate stage of development. Bird and mammal populations appeared to develop and change with the vegetation changes, leading to a climax pinyon-juniper woodland.

Characteristics of ponderosa pine stands selected by the Abert's squirrel for cover
PhD Dissertation, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona.
A small watershed in north-central Arizona was stratified into three crown density (CD) classes to compare nest tree density with CD of pine. Stands with less than 35 percent CD has 1 nest per 9 acres; those with 36 to 70 percent CD contained 1 nest for each 4.5 acres. Highest density (1 per 2.1 acres) was in stands with over 70 percent CD.
