Our objectives included: 1) determine plant community composition and relative use by large herbivores, 2) determine levels of browsing of key woody plants, 3) quantify degree of grazing on herbaceous communities, and 4) determine diets and relative diet quality of elk and cattle.
The number of carbon substrates used by soil microorganisms (S), average well color development (AWCD), Shannon's richness index (H), Simpson's dominance index (D), and relative use efficiency of carbon resources (RUE) were evaluated and used as indicators to assess the soil microbial functional diversity and activity (Chen et al. 2013; Boudiaf et al. 2013).
Age-specific period survival estimates (absolute and relative), using age groups 15-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70 and above, were first obtained from the Philippine resident, the Filipino-American and the Caucasian populations.

About 80% of physicians, patients and relatives used the expression 'tobacco-related disease'.
We documented relative habitat use of these types by elk, mule deer, and cattle and modeled relative use on residual grass biomass of mountain meadows and browse utilization of forested types.
