Primary succession on a receding glacier forefront : with special emphasis on root-colonizing fungi

Creator:

Jumpponen, Ari

Abstract:

Plant succession is among the fundamental concepts in ecology. Studies addressing plant recruitment, successional mechanisms, and the role of root-colonizing fungi with focus on dark-septate endophytes (DSE) were conducted in the laboratory and on the forefront of receding Lyman Glacier (North Cascade Range, Washington, U.S.A.). Primary successional studies primarily focus...

Soil carbon and nitrogen in old-growth forests in western Oregon and Washington

Creator:

Remillard, Suzanne Marie

Abstract:

Soil organic carbon (SOC, kg C m-2) is an important component in evaluating global C stores. The nitrogen (TN, kg N m"2) cycle is closely linked to C and understanding its role is also important. Contents and distributions of SOC and TN in soil profiles, to 1-meter depth, were estimated...

Aboveground vegetation and viable seed bank of a dry mixed-conifer forest at a wildland-urban interface in Washington state

Creator:

Snider, Gabrielle

Abstract:

Dry coniferous forests in the western United States are experiencing severe wildfires, insect outbreaks, forest disease epidemics and a growing presence of invasive species. Policies strongly emphasize reducing hazardous fuels at the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) where communities and forests intersect. However, these areas present restoration challenges as they tend...
