	Unasylva - Vol. 3, No. 6 - As a memorial to the Third World Forestry Congress - News of the world
		The advantages of establishing forest strips by the nest method, it is claimed, lie in preventing the invasion of aggressive prairie weeds-the foe of both cultivated crops and young forest plantations-and in increasing the chances of survival of the oak seedlings as the principal tree in the forest strip.
		Part 3, entitled "The Fertility of the Forest Soil," discusses the different physical properties of the soil; the effect of its mineral and microbiological content upon the growth and the development of the forest, and the deterioration of the soil as a result of erosion, forest fires, and land clearing.
		Part 4 traces the effect of interaction between forest and soil upon the internal changes that go on within the forest as a result of the struggle between the individual trees for growing space and light, and also the effect of different methods of forest management upon the maintenance of soil fertility.

		A small, inconspicuous bird of the forest floor, the Ovenbird is one of the most characteristic birds of the eastern forests.
		Its loud song, "teacher, teacher, teacher," rings through the summer forest, but the bird itself is hard to see.
		Maturation of forests in Northeast may be causing slight increases in the Ovenbird population.

		Ancient, verdant, filled with bird-song and old forests are the continuum that all of us need to remind us that the ‘technosphere’ we admire so much is truly tawdry, when compared to the biosphere crafted by nature.
		All this has led to the ‘patchworking’ of a forest that was once a secret hideaway for wild animals.
		We intend to approach the Supreme Court to prevent shortsighted politicians from colonising the forest and water resources of generations yet to be born.

	DSCH 13 Shostakovich CD Reviews - Sun Shines Over Our Homeland; Song of the Forests
		The seven-part Song of the Forests sings the praises of Stalin's reforestation program while the text to the single movement Sun Shines… could not be more generic in its patriotic puffery.
		The composer's true attitude is revealed in a private remark he passed about Song of the Forests, as related in Laurel Fay's Shostakovich: A Life: "I sat down at night and, within a few hours dashed off something 'haphazardly'.
		The charms of Song of the Forests have attracted a number of leading Soviet conductors dating back to 1950 when Yevgeny Mravinsky's performance was cast on a series of Melodiya 78s, subsequently reissued in the LP era.

		One of the Song Sparrow's greatest enemies is not a snake or a storm, however, but rather another bird: The Brown-headed Cowbird, a female of which is shown at the right (only the males have brown heads).
		Rarely, Song Sparrows recognize that something is wrong, and build a new nest atop the old one, covering the Brown-headed Cowbird egg so that it never hatches.
		Now that the forests are broken up into many small parcels, few forests are very deep, and the Brown-headed Cowbird has an abundance of forest edges to visit.

	Metroland Online - Classical
		The first panel discussion took on the subject of contested accounts of Shostakovich’s career, and the final orchestral concert, performed last Sunday, illustrated the contrast between Shostakovich the Stalin-pleaser and the personal voice of the composer.
		Song of the Forests is a 1949 work for chorus and orchestra written to celebrate Stalin’s post-war reforestation project, and a more hilariously bombastic work is hard to imagine.
		I only wished for more brass sound to balance it—after Song of the Forests, the section was trimmed of some players and I missed both the volume and texture of the larger configuration.

		The nest is generally concealed in a small forest shrub or tree.
		Its song, while perhaps not as beautiful as that of the Hermit Thrush, is better known to most bird-watchers because the species sings more frequently during migration.
		Because each bird's territory is small and the species is abundant, one may hear a chorus of male Swainson's Thrushes sing briefly every morning and evening.

		It's a song about why we needto do all we can to save the rain forests, rather than what they are and how they work.
		The chorus emphasizes the fact that many of today's medicines come from rain forest sources, that rain forests are an important source of oxygen, and are home to countless species of animals and plants.

	Wolf Song of Alaska:Gray Wolves in British Columbia Rain Forests May Be Unique
		Differences between coastal and inland wolves, although subtle, seem significant enough to indicate the coastal wolves are a "distinct genetic management unit," Darimont and Paquet wrote.
		If that proves to be the case, there will be profound consequences for logging because coastal wolves' main food source, fl-tailed deer, thrives only in old-growth forests, Darimont said.
		Both believe that the Coast Mountains have provided a sufficient barrier so coastal and inland wolves could evolve separately and that the coastal wolves are genetically identical to those which once flourished in California, Oregon and Washington state before being eliminated by habitat loss and hunting.

	Dmitri Shostakovich Chamber Music
		From 1948 to 1952, the year of Stalin’s death, he concentrated on film scores, rather than symphonies and though his public face was contrite, he produced a series of works in which he followed his own muse rather than the dictates of the Party.
		In the years between the denunciation of 1948 and the death of Stalin in 1953, Shostakovich turned increasingly to the composition of film scores.
		The song cycle and violin concerto were not publicly performed until 1955.
