Abstract:
Living at Linville Gorge’s cliff are plants revealing ancient ecosystems long unknown and trees a retired Appalachian State professor believes are a millennium old. Support for his perspective of cliffs, which include their ecological as well as geological aspects, is a profile of the Table Mountain Pine, in addition to plants like Rock Tripe Lichen and Mountain Golden Heather.

Abstract:
Researchers at North Carolina State University have recently begun to study vegetation management in forested filter zones to find the combination of cover types best suited to remove or cause the removal of sediments and nutrients. This research extends their work in the Tar-Pamlico Basin, which demonstrated the superiority of dense regrowth following a clear cut over the mature mixed pine-hardwood forest. Detention of sediments was improved while detention of nutrients was dramatically improved.

Abstract:
NC State University wants to sell Hoffman Forest, but students, professors, and workers at the forest oppose the sale. The NC State Natural Resources Foundation has approved the sale and says it makes sense due to its inconvenient location and the money that could be earned. Those who oppose the sale say that a new buyer will be unlikely to stay true to Julius Hoffman’s vision.
