<br />Ou1494 <br /> <br />desert areas was being investigated and will be conducted by Plant <br />Material Centers in Arizona and California. Based on State-Federal <br />Comprehensive Framework Studies, a colored vegetation type map of <br />Nevada has been published and delineates the major vegetation types. <br /> <br />Arizona State University at Tempe was awarded a three-year contract <br />to study the impact of vegetation management on wildlife along the <br />Lower Colorado River. The study will be under the direction of <br />Dr. Robert B. Ohmart, Assistant Professor, Department of Zoology, <br />Arizona State University. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Bureau of Reclamation reported a flood plain vegetation study of <br />the South Platte River from Greeley, Colorado, to the Nebraska border, <br />was completed in the fall of 1972. <br /> <br />R. C. Culler, USGS, reviewed an abstract of a paper presented at the <br />ERTS-I Symposium, Goddard Space Flight Center, March 5-9, 1973, on the <br />use of Stanford Research Institute's Electronic Satellite Image Analysis <br />Console for mapping southern Arizona plant communities from ERTS-I <br />imagery. <br /> <br />Mr. Culler also reviewed two professional papers on the Gila River <br />Phreatophyte Project, released during 1972. <br /> <br />In view of the lack of State and Federal interest and a feeling by <br />committee members they were no longer serving the purpose intended, it <br />was recommended that the Vegetation Management Technical Subcommittee <br />be dissolved. <br /> <br />73-2 Meeting - San Francisco, California - June 20, 1973. <br /> <br />In a I ibrary report read to the committee by Floyd Farrell, Mr. J. S. <br />Horton announced that the abstract bibliography "Evapo-Transpiration <br />and Watershed Research as Relates to Riparian and Phreatophyte Manage- <br />ment" is available as USDA Miscellaneous Publication 1234. Copies of <br />the publication can be obtained from the Forest Hydrology Laboratory, <br />Arizona State University Campus, Tempe, Arizona, or Director, Rocky <br />Mountain Forest Range Experiment Station, Fort Collins, Colorado. <br /> <br />Mr. Horton further recommended that the phreatophyte library be moved <br />from Tempe, and permanently located with the Watershed Management Division <br />of the University of Arizona, Tucson. <br /> <br />The request to transfer the phreatophyte library to the Watershed Manage- <br />ment Division of the University of Arizona was discussed by members of <br />the committee. It was recommended that the committee report this request <br />to the Parent Committee and suggest that the library be moved to the <br />University of Arizona as requested by Mr. Horton. <br /> <br />19 <br /> <br />
