Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Jemez Mountains are a quintessential New Mexico landscape. For centuries, Pueblo, Spanish, and Anglo cultures have mixed and melded here. Many ancient villages are scattered across the mesas and in the canyons below the Valles Calderathe crater of a giant, slumbering volcano. Rocks and trees of this landscape tell stories of past eruptions, lava flows, droughts, floods, forest fires, and hot springs damming a river. People tell stories of conquistadores, pueblos, and priests, of battles for land and water, of farming and sheep herding, and of raiders, rustlers, forest rangers, and hippies.This book recounts some of these fascinating stories in forty brief chapters, with more than a hundred photographs, maps, and drawings. Matched photographs of the same views taken up to 150 years apart attest to striking change and apparent stasis. Major alterations have occurred in some places over the past two centuries due to human activity, and increasing climate change threatens further transformation.For those new to the Jemez Mountains, these stories and images will provide an introduction to the cultural and natural history of the area. Residents and longtime aficionados of the Jemez will find both familiar and surprising stories and will gain a renewed sense of the magnificence of this place.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating investigation into the intricate relationship between indigenous fire regimes and land use in the central Rio Grande Valley. The author delves into tree-ring records and fire history to uncover how human activities have shaped the fire ecology of the region over the past four centuries. The research presented challenges the long-held belief that wildfires were solely influenced by natural forces, revealing the profound impact of human land use practices on fire frequency and intensity. By weaving together archival research and scientific analysis, the author demonstrates the significant role that indigenous communities have played in shaping the landscapes we inherit today. This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of fire ecology, land use history, and the dynamic interplay between humans and their environment.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of western spruce budworm and Douglas-fir tussock moth outbreaks in Oregon's Blue Mountains, tracing their patterns over three centuries through dendrochronological methods. The author compares tree-ring growth with forest insect survey records and climate data to distinguish between the effects of climate and defoliation on tree growth. The book examines the hypothesis that budworm outbreaks have increased in frequency and severity in the 20th century, highlighting the significance of understanding historical patterns of forest disturbances for effective ecosystem management. Its findings contribute to ongoing discussions on forest health, disturbance regimes, fire history, and land-use history.
