Benthic Biomonitoring of Suspended Sediment Input Into Strawberry Creek

Leonard Y. Liu
1999

Urbanization and development have historically gone hand-in-hand with environmental defradation. Strawberry Creek, running from the East Bay hills through the University of California, Berkeley campus and the City of Berkeley was representative of the fate of many urban streams. Most of the creek was funneled through concrete channels for flood and erosion prevention or underground culverts to functionas a storm sewer system. Fish had long since disappeared and most pollution-intolerant flora and fauna had retreated into the underdeveloped Berkeley Hills. High concentrations of biological...

Campus Life: A Survey of Bird Populations in Three Tree Habitats of the UC Berkeley Campus

Melissa Powers
2005

Campus planners at the University of California at Berkeley are presently designing development strategies through the year 2005. These plans identify many habitats to be altered, including several tree stands. Although the planners intend to preserve the campus environment, development and habitat changes have undoubtedly already led to a vast reduction in campus wildlife species. However, since no study has ever been done to assess wildlife populations on campus it is difficult to predict precisely how further development will affect Campus wildlife. Consequently, a study to determine...

Report of the Task Force on the Management of Nature Areas on the Central Berkeley Campus (1982)

Committee on Conservation and Environmental Quality
1982

The purpose of this report is to establish guidelines for managing the three nature areas -- Goodspeed, Grinnell and Wickson -- on the central Berkeley Campus, and also to propose designation of a fourth -- Observatory Hill -- as a nature area. These guidelines are consistent with those objectives proposed in 1970 by the Landscape Architecture Advisory Subcommittee, which has since been replaced by this Committee.
