El Salvador: U.S. Influence on Salvadoran Political Identity
No full textEl Salvador, the smallest country in Central America, endured a brutal civil war that lasted from 1979 until the signing of the Peace Accords in 1992. Defined by some as the last real armed conflict of the Cold War, El Salvador’s struggle attracted an unprecedented amount of U.S. aid, marking the beginning of a long and complex relationship between the two nations. This relationship was further developed by the large-scale immigration of displaced civil war refugees to the U.S., the subsequent dependence of the Salvadoran economy on remittances from these emigrated nationals. This study focuses on U.S. influence on current Salvadoran political identity and the current debate surrounding U.S. policies promoting a neoliberal development model in El Salvador. Ultimately, many factors contribute to a fragmented Salvadoran political identity, including: widespread distrust of a corrupt and ineffective political system, slow economic growth, lack of rule of law, and the continued project of social reconstruction post-civil war. All of these factors add up to an ambivalent attitude towards continued exertion of U.S. influence in the region. Through interviews (formal and informal) with Salvadorans from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds, this study reveals the tenuous nature of political identity and the fragility of social unity

Oak and shortleaf pine regeneration through harvest and fire
No full textForest restoration is practiced with the goal of restoring a given piece of forest to predetermined reference conditions in order to restore the presence of native species and promote forest health. University Domain management has targeted Compartment 20 on the Domain as a site suitable for oak-hickory and shortleaf pine restoration. The objectives of this study are to (1) enhance oak-hickory and shortleaf regeneration and maintain low basal area with fire, (2) use fire to develop a suite of native grass species in the understory, (3) update site inventories, and (4) monitor changes in fuel loading. Prior to treatment in 2011, total basal area was 130 ft2/ac; current aggregate basal area is 104 ft2/ac mostly from oak species. Total fuel loading is up roughly two tons per acre from the 2011 study at 17 tons/ac. American chestnut was also planted at the site, and if they survive, these trees will be part of the site’s restoration.Dr. Ken Smit
