Statistical Considerations in Rangeland Monitoring
This Technical Reference deals with the statistical aspects of rangeland monitoring and is intended to help the BLM range conservationist in planning, analyzing, interpreting, and evaluating monitoring studies. It is not a statistics cookbook and assumes a level of knowledge of statistical analysis comparable to what most college graduates are exposed to during their undergraduate training. The material covered in this Technical Reference is divided into five sections. Chapter 1 highlights the statistical topics required to analyze monitoring data and gives appropriate references. Chapter 2 addresses the underlying statistical issues of rangeland monitoring. Chapters 3 and 4 deal with the specific methods used for trend and utilization studies. Chapter 5 shows examples of data analysis

Coal Hydrology Bibliography
In compiling this bibliography, Geological Survey publication lists, existing Geological Survey bibliographies, and the Water Resources Scientific Information Center (WRSIC) data base were searched for pertinent Geological Survey publications that contained information relevant to the hydrology of a coal area. The WRSIC abstracts were used unedited as received from the WRSIC data base. Also included are reports of the Energy Mineral Rehabilitation Inventory and Analysis (EMRIA) program, coal leasing environmental impact statements and environmental analysis reports, and Bureau of Land Management land-use planning documents containing information about coal hydrology. Only those documents authored by either the Geological Survey or the Bureau of Land Management are included in this bibliography
Wild Ungulate Forage Requirements -- A Review
This report discusses the nutritional and intake requirements of the major big game ungulates of North America. Forage intake rates for the various species are detailed, and major factors governing intake rates are discussed. The importance of forage nutritional value as much as quantity is emphasized, and both biotic and abiotic factors influencing forage quality are presented. Methods of forage protection and improvement are briefly defined
