It seems more and more there are fewer conservation organizations who speak for the forest, and more that speak for the timber industry. Witness several recent commentaries in Oregon papers that are by no means unique. I’ve seen similar themes from other conservation groups across the West in recent years.
Many conservation groups have uncritically adopted views that support more logging of our public lands based upon increasingly disputed ideas about forest health and fire ecology, as well as the age-old bias against natural processes like wildfire and beetles.
For instance, an article in the Portland Oregonian quotes Oregon Wild’s executive director Sean Stevens bemoaning the closure of a timber mill in John Day Oregon. Stevens said: “Loss of the 29-year-old Malheur Lumber Co. mill would be ‘a sad turn of events’” Surprisingly, Oregon Wild is readily supporting federal subsidies to promote more logging on the Malheur National Forest to sustain the mill.
All of these EXCEPT helium in a balloon
Answer: B). little wind
Explanation: Deserts have few large animals, fertile soil, and little rainfall but they have lots of wind
For this problem, we use the Beer Lambert's Law. Its usual equation is:
A = ∈LC
where
A is the absorbance
∈ is the molar absorptivity
L is the path length
C is the concentration of the sample solution
As you notice, we only have to find the absorbance. But since we are not given with the molar absorptivity, we will have to use the modified equation that relates % transmittance to absorbance:
A = 2 - log(%T)
A = 2 - log(27.3)
A = 0.5638
