Apparent Fate, 2010: Dismantling the Notion of Photographic TruthMacDonald, Kelsey M. 04 May 2010 (has links)
When creating a current work, artists cannot ignore the images that have preceded theirs. The history of a medium and the related history of subject matter is vital to the meaning of a new art work. Each sign and symbol has a connotation out of the artists’ control. The developed meaning of a symbol is inseparable for the viewer regardless of the acknowledgment of that meaning by the artist. To work with imagery and not address it’s historical context is to perpetuate it’s meaning. The only way to not state what has already been stated is to critically engage with the preexisting meaning of the imagery. An artist can combine symbols to create dual meanings or juxtapositions of meaning, or present the imagery in a way that complicates what it already signifies. “Apparent Fate,”my combined negative, photographic mural, uses imagery from Yosemite National Park to comment on photography’s function or purpose in history and in the current economic, political, environmental, and social conditions in California and society’s current stance on Manifest Destiny. How have the ideas of innate rights over people and places changed over time in American culture?

Subalpine revegetation on backcountry campsites near Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite National Park, California : third year resultsMoritsch, Barbara J. 27 April 1992 (has links)
The National Park Service initiated a backcountry campsite restoration project
in 1987 to restore native vegetation on severely degraded campsites in three subalpine
lake basins in Yosemite National Park. Restoration treatments included soil
scarification, transplanting, manual seeding and site protection. Eight of the treated
campsites were monitored in 1990 to evaluate changes in percent vegetation cover,
species richness and volunteer establishment that had occurred over the three year
period beginning prior to treatment application in the summer of 1987, and ending in
the summer of 1990.
Percent vegetation cover increased slightly across all sampled quadrats ([mean] =
0.71; N = 214) with mean percent cover changes ranging from -0.37 to 4.36 on
individual campsites. Three sites had a loss of cover. Percent cover changes differed
most among campsites within lake basins. Changes in percent cover did not differ
among lake basins or impact strata (barren core, moderately trampled, and
peripheral). Transplanting did not appear to be an important influence on changes in
percent cover, as cover changes did not differ between planted and unplanted areas.
Survival of transplants planted in 1987 was poor (19.2%), but survival of transplants
planted in 1988 was higher (70.5%).
Species richness increased slightly across all sampled quadrats ([mean] = 0.54
species per quadrat), with species richness changes on campsites ranging from -0.13
to 1.75 species per quadrat. One site had a mean decrease in species richness.
Species richness changes differed among campsites, with the largest increases
occurring on those campsites that also had the greatest increases in percent cover.
Changes in species richness also differed among impact strata, with the largest
increases occurring on barren core areas. There were small differences among lake
basins, and species richness changes did not differ between planted and unplanted
areas.
Volunteer establishment occurred on all treated sites. The number of
volunteers per site ranged from one to 45, and 29 species were represented.
Individual quadrats had from one to four volunteers. Approximately 50% of the
volunteers were producing seed, and overall vigor among volunteers was good.
Numbers of volunteers per quadrat differed most strongly among campsites. Slight
differences were detected among lake basins and impact strata, with numbers
decreasing from barren core to peripheral quadrats. Differences in numbers of
volunteers per quadrat between planted and unplanted areas were not detected.
Soil scarification may enhance increases in cover, species richness and
numbers of volunteers. However, the influence of scarification was tested on two
sites only, and further study is recommended.
The recovery process appeared to be strongly affected by factors operating at
the campsite level. For example, sites with the greatest increases in percent cover
also had the greatest increases in species richness and the most volunteers. These
sites had coarse soils, relatively abundant sunlight and moisture, and were effectively
protected from trampling after site treatment. Results indicate revegetation
prescriptions should be made on a site-by-site basis.
The performances of eleven species used in transplanting or occurring as
volunteers were evaluated. Five species, Agrostis humilis, Calamagrostis breweri,
Muhlenbergia filifonnis, Trisetum spicatum, and Calyptridium umbellatum show
potential as colonizers in unassisted revegetation and may be useful in manual seeding
treatments; three species, Calamagrostis breweri, Carex rossii, and Juncus panyi
show potential for transplanting and nursery propagation; and two species, Carex
spectabilis and Carex straminiformis, require further study to determine their
effectiveness in subalpine revegetation treatments. / Graduation date: 1993

Nevada Fall Corridor : a cultural landscape reportGerdes, Marti M. 08 1900 (has links)
xv, 298 p. ; ill. (chiefly col.), maps (chiefly col.) A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries under the call number: AAA F868.Y6 G47 2004 / This study describes existing conditions, evaluates significance and historic
integrity, and recommends treatment strategies to preserve historic elements of the Nevada
Fall Corridor cultural landscape in Yosemite National Park.
It reports findings from field investigation that examined and inventoried landscape
features such as stone retaining walls, treadway material, bridges and causeways, and water
features on both current-use and abandoned trail segments.
The site was examined numerous times over a three-month period, with a followup
visit one year later. Libraries and other archives were consulted for written and
photographic historic documentation, which were analyzed against current conditions.
The process also involved review of comparison documents as well as national
guidelines set forth by the National Park Service. / Adviser: Melnick, Robert Z.
