Livestock and rangeland performance to nitrogen fertilization in south-central New Mexico
The International Hill Land Symposium was held at Oregon State University in April 1983.Biennial application of 45 kg per ha N fertilizer resulted in
significantly increased production of upland, hill land, and bottomland pastures. Animal gain of fertilized pastures also was greater when
evaluated on per day or kg per ha basis
iTools: A Framework for Classification, Categorization and Integration of Computational Biology Resources
The advancement of the computational biology field hinges on progress in three fundamental directions – the development of new computational algorithms, the availability of informatics resource management infrastructures and the capability of tools to interoperate and synergize. There is an explosion in algorithms and tools for computational biology, which makes it difficult for biologists to find, compare and integrate such resources. We describe a new infrastructure, iTools, for managing the query, traversal and comparison of diverse computational biology resources. Specifically, iTools stores information about three types of resources–data, software tools and web-services. The iTools design, implementation and resource meta - data content reflect the broad research, computational, applied and scientific expertise available at the seven National Centers for Biomedical Computing. iTools provides a system for classification, categorization and integration of different computational biology resources across space-and-time scales, biomedical problems, computational infrastructures and mathematical foundations. A large number of resources are already iTools-accessible to the community and this infrastructure is rapidly growing. iTools includes human and machine interfaces to its resource meta-data repository. Investigators or computer programs may utilize these interfaces to search, compare, expand, revise and mine meta-data descriptions of existent computational biology resources. We propose two ways to browse and display the iTools dynamic collection of resources. The first one is based on an ontology of computational biology resources, and the second one is derived from hyperbolic projections of manifolds or complex structures onto planar discs. iTools is an open source project both in terms of the source code development as well as its meta-data content. iTools employs a decentralized, portable, scalable and lightweight framework for long-term resource management. We demonstrate several applications of iTools as a framework for integrated bioinformatics. iTools and the complete details about its specifications, usage and interfaces are available at the iTools web page http://iTools.ccb.ucla.edu

Comparison of Vegetation on Grazed and ungrazed Pinyon-Juniper Grassland in New Mexico
A study to compare vegetation on three grazed areas with that on comparable areas, protected for 12 years, on the Fort Stanton Range revealed that both herbage production and height of blue grama plants were significantly higher on protected areas for all three sites. Species composition was not significantly different between grazed and protected areas on the stony hills site, but composition of mat muhly was significantly higher on grazed areas on both loamy bottomland and loamy upland sites. Composition of blue grama and western wheatgrass was significantly lower on the grazed area on the loamy bottomland site.This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
