Placing the River in Context
We characterize the fluvial geomorphology research of James C. Knox by considering five of his scholarly papers, selected to illustrate not only some of Knox's methods and results but also his conviction that stream-sediment interactions are intricately connected to a range of environmental variables reflecting the scope of physical geography. Those variables, as we discuss, included hydrology, climate, vegetation, position in the drainage networ…

Vertebrate Feeding Guilds in California’s Sierra Nevada
In biogeography, as in other parts of physical geography, it has become conventional wisdom to assert that a change in the scale of analysis necessitates a change in explanatory factors. In this article, we present an empirical study at a regional scale and compare the results to earlier data analyzed at a subcontinental scale. We describe the spatial patterns of vertebrates, characterized by taxonomic Classes and feeding guilds, on the west slop…
Wisconsin Land and Life
Rolling green hills dotted with Holstein cows, red barns, and blue silos. The Great Lakes ports at Superior, Ashland, and Kenosha. A Polish wedding dance or a German biergarten in Milwaukee. The dappled quiet of the Chequamagon forest. A weatherbeaten but tidy town hall at the intersection of two county trunk highways. Ojibwa families gathering wild rice into canoes. The boat ride through the Dells. The upland ridges of the Driftless Area, fallin…

Yosemite
Clearcut Logging, Vegetation Dynamics, and Human Wisdom
Popular interpretations of clearcut forests have analogues in scientific models of vegetation dynamics. These models are not mutually exclusive, and the validity of each depends on degrees of generality, time frame, and spatial scale. Preference for an interpretation of clearcut logging may reflect the purposes that a viewer considers appropriate for commercial forestland. Increased prominence of indeterminism in both scientific study and the nat…
Vegetation Change and Park Purposes in the High Elevations of Yosemite National Park, California
Vegetation changes over the past 80 years in the high elevations of Yosemite National Park were identified with 59 scenes originally photographed at the turn of the century and rephotographed in 1984 and 1985. The resulting photo pairs suggest that (1) krummholz has increased in height and density (2) forests at the upper forest line have increased in density (3) meadows have been invaded by trees (4) local patches of thin forest have increased i…

Historical Plant Geography
Bird Communities and Vegetation Structure in the United States
The composition of breeding-bird communities, as represented by the relative importance of foraging guilds, is different for vegetation of differing structures. We identified seven vegetation types and the character of the bird community associated with each. Desert shrub has birds with generalist feeding habits, grasslands have species that are primarily seed-eaters, and nondesert brush vegetation supports generalists and seed-eaters that feed o…
Forest Changes in the Warner Mountains, California∗
In the Warner Mountains of California, land use policies of the U. S. Forest Service have resulted in alterations of the vegetation over the last century even within the landscape reserve of the South Warner Wilderness. Fire suppression has led to increasing reproduction of white fir and decreasing establishment of yellow pines. Grazing by domestic livestock has caused an invasion of brush and grass by trees. The acceptance of such alterations wi…
