Several methods for evaluating the effect of local soil conditions on ground response during earthquakes are presently available. Most of these methods are based on the assumption that the main responses in a soil deposit are caused by the upward propagation of shear waves from the underlying rock formation.

Recent requirements of seismic risk estimation have led to a re-evaluation of historical earthquake records and statistical methods in many countries, with a view to optimizing the use of the available information. Whatever approach is chosen to quantify risk, the basic information is earthquake catalogs from which a recurrence relation is derived. Its most widely used form is still the Gutenberg-Richter loglinear relation, log N = a - bm, perhaps with some modification at larger magnitudes.

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for approximately 956 acres referred to as the Appleton Ranch Property. This property is comprised of a set of three private land tracts consisting of eight county assessor parcels within the larger (8,000 acre) Appleton-Whittell Research Ranch.

Surveys were conducted for special-status plant species associated with water features that occur in the vicinity of the Study Area.

A commonality is that ecological restoration is challenging in deserts, because deserts represent extremes of Earth’s climates and precipitation is unreliable. It is not uncommon for some deserts to receive little or no rainfall for an entire year, or even multiple years.

An audit of the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and aggregate remaining fund information of Graham County as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the County’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

Understanding the impacts of artificial night-time light on wild plants and natural vegetation requires linking the knowledge gained from over a century of experimental research on the impacts of light on plants in the laboratory and glasshouse with knowledge of the intensity, spatial distribution, spectral composition and timing of light in the night-time environment.

The geographic distributions of organisms are not static, but dynamic. Over time the ranges of species shift, expand, and contract. The distributions of higher taxonomic groups such as genera, families, orders, and classes also change because their geographic ranges simply reflect the cumulative distributions of all the included species.

The purpose of this draft Land Health Evaluation (LHE) report is to evaluate whether the Arizona Standards for Rangeland Health (Standards) are being achieved on the Teacup and Whitlow Allotment.
