Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Vegetation Response to Helicopter Logging and Broadcast Burning in Douglas-Fir Habitat Types at Silver Creek, Central Idaho
The study is in west-central Idaho 50 miles north of Boise, ID, in the Silver Creek Study Area on Control Creek, a tributary of Silver Creek (fig. Control Creek drains 404 acres of Idaho batholith, an area of steep slopes overlain with highly erodible granitic rock (clayton and Kennedy The soils are coarse textured, lack cohesion, and are very erodible following disturbance. Slope angles within the study area range from 18 to 55 percent. Elevation ranges from to ft. The mean annual maximum temperature from 1976 to 1985 was 52 f while the mean annual low temperature was 30 f. The average annual precipitation over the 10 years was 36 inches, most of which fell from October to March. Only a small amount (average inches) fell during June, July and August. Two abnormally dry periods occurred during this 10 years. The first was from September 1976 through April 1977 when precipitation levels were only 33 percent of normal (unpublished data on file at the Forestry Sciences Laboratory, Boise, ID). The second dry period occurred from December 1985 through August 1986 when precipitation levels were only 56 percent of normal.
