Atlas of United States Trees. Volume 1. Conifers and Important Hardwoods

This is probably the most popular design of experiments (DOE) book. It is unquestionably the leading DOE book in industry. So I am excepting it from the usual disdain I show for the  fth edition (5E) of any book, even though it follows the fourth edition (4E) by only four years. See Grice (2000) for a report on the 4E. Very likely this book bears little resemblance to the  rst edition way back in the 1970s. The author has taken particular care with this latest edition to reorganize the book to be consistent with modern DOE practice rather than classical DOE presentation. The primary change has been to move the chapters on regression modeling and response surface methods forward in the book. In the 4E these were the last two chapters in the book. In the 5E they follow the chapters on factorial and fractional factorial designs. Three chapters on “other designs” now close out the book. This certainly gives the book a better  ow for industry short courses. Perhaps these will simply be referenced as arcane methods in the sixth edition! Other production values in the book also continue to improve. There are many high-quality graphical displays. There is much use of printouts from Minitab and Design-Expert. A student version of Design-Export comes with the book. There is also an instructor’s CD-ROM with supplemental material to make the book suitable for more advanced courses. There is the now-essential Web site that has more information to help students and instructors. Perhaps if I were teaching DOE for master’s-level statisticians, the recent book by Dean and Voss (1999), reviewed by Amidan (2000), would be my choice. However, for most other audiences this is the complete DOE book. Industrial statisticians should get a copy of the new version and ensure its exposure to the relevant people in their organization.

Flora of Alaska and Neighboring Territories. A Manual of the Vascular Plants

: Over the past few years, a series of Regional Supplements to the 1987 U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual have been published, and currently the National Wetland Plant List is being updated. To support these efforts, we generated a list of floras and field guides for each USACE region Alaska, Arid West, Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain, Caribbean, Eastern Mountains and Piedmont, Great Plains, Midwest, Northcentral and Northeast, Pacific Islands, and Western Mountains, Valleys and Coast. Each list includes regional floras, state floras, local floras, regional field guides, state field guides, and local field guides. We also prepared a list of floras and field guides that cover the entire U.S. This list is divided into the following categories: forbs, shrubs, trees, grasses and sedges, ferns, orchids, cacti and agave, and references and help guides. The flora and field guide lists can serve as tools for wetland delineation and restoration, assigning of wetland indicator statuses to vegetation species, and other vegetation activities.

: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) delineates the jurisdictional extent of wetlands and other "Waters of the United States" (WoUS) under Corps and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations implementing Section 404 of the Clean Water Act(33 U.S.C. 1344). As part of this responsibility Corps districts in the southwestern United States and elsewhere must delineate the extent of WoUS in arid areas, including arid-land stream channels. In non-tidal waters lacking adjacent wetlands, Corps jurisdiction extends to the ordinary high water mark(OHWM). Unlike wetlands, for which there are criteria for hydrology, soils, and vegetation specified in a national wetland delineation manual, there is no hydrologic definition of ordinary high water (OHW), and the identification of WoUS relies entirely on physical features of stream channels. This literature review investigates the climatic and regional conditions controlling hydrologic discharges in arid-land streams and the resulting physical features that develop within channels and floodplains. The review covers three main features associated with arid stream systems that might be useful for delineation purposes: hydrology, fluvial geomorphology, and vegetation. Based on the reviews, certain physical features were selected as potential OHWM indicators and were categorized by location above, at, or below the OHW line. To support the identification of OHW, these potential indicators are intended to be tested in selected locations across the Southwest to identify consistent and reliable indicators of the OHWM.

Review of Ordinary High Water Mark Indicators for Delineating Arid Streams in the Southwestern United States

: The Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) is an approach for identifying the lateral limits of non-wetland waters However, determining whether any non-wetland water is a jurisdictional "Water of the United States" (WoUS) involves further assessment in accordance with the regulations, ease law, and clarifying guidance. In the Arid West region of the U.S., the most problematic Ordinary High Water (OHW) delineations are associated with the ephemeral/ intermittent channel forms that dominate the Arid West landscape. This report presents a method for delineating the lateral extent of the non-wetland waters in the Arid West using stream geomorphology and vegetation response to the dominant stream discharge.

A Field Guide to the Identification of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) in the Arid West Region of the Western United States: A Delineation Manual

Desert playas can be unambiguously identified in a geological context. However, identifying those portions of desert playas that are defined as either three-parameter wetlands or Waters of the United States (WoUS) in the Clean Water Act (CWA), and thus under the jurisdiction of Federal agencies charged with enforcing the CWA, is sometimes problematic. Although the WoUS definition specifically includes playas, the guidance for playa delineation is not as highly developed as that for wetlands. Delineating WoUS on desert playas involves determining the Ordinary High Water Mark. Field experience has demonstrated that the indicators for Ordinary High Water on desert playas have not been fully identified nor have they been associated with ponding that represents the limits of Ordinary High Water. This report discusses the distribution of indicators above, below, and at the Ordinary High Water Mark. Fifteen playa features are identified for possible delineation use and are rated for reliability and their relationship to the Ordinary High Water position.

Surficial features associated with ponded water on playas of the arid southwestern united states: indicators for delineating regulated areas under the clean water act

For more than 100 years, the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) has been used to define water boundaries in a number of contexts in the United States. This Special Report summarizes the scientific literature pertaining to the indicators used to identify the OHWM in fluvial systems, building on more than a decade of research and publications related to the OHWM in the ongoing process to implement the Clean Water Act and the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. This report does not change or redefine the indicators used to identify the OHWM, nor is it a manual for how to delineate the OHWM. This report first reviews established concepts in river science that relate to the OHWM then reviews various sources of information that can be used to delineate the OHWM, discusses geographic variations in OHWM indicators among river segments, reviews human activities that can affect the OHWM, and finally presents examples of the OHWM in diverse channel types and regions.
