Pacific Northwest rangeland carbon sequestration

Creator:: Wiggins, Seth T.
Abstract:: This paper models the supply curve of carbon sequestration on Pacific Northwest rangelands. Rangeland managers have the ability to sequester carbon in agricultural soils by implementing alternative management practices on their farms. Their low adoption rate in practice suggests a high opportunity cost associated with their implementation. To increase their...

Death as Preservation in The Winter’s Tale

Creator:: Olson, Rebecca
Abstract:: Unusual for a comedy, Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale centres early modern preservation: a state that was neither illness nor wellness, but a reprieve from both degeneration and reproduction. Unlike survival or recovery, preservation sits comfortably with death and even borrows some of its features. Moreover, as a liminal state that...

Early Childhood Teachers’ Relationships with Families When Children Experience Adversity

Creator:: Lewis, Hillary R., Lipscomb, Shannon T., Hatfield, Bridget E., Jäderholm, Christina M., and Tominey, Shauna L.
Abstract:: Quality relationships among families and teachers in early care and education (ECE) hold promise to nurture resilience among children impacted by adversity. However, little is known about how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may also affect the interactions between families and teachers. This study uses quantitative survey data from families (N...

Ecohydrologic Connections in Semiarid Rangeland Ecosystems in Oregon

Creator:: Durfee, Nicole M.
Abstract:: An improved understanding of the ecohydrologic relationships in semiarid rangelands is imperative for the development of effective rehabilitation and land management practices. This thesis addresses the ecohydrologic relationships of two significant issues concerning semiarid rangeland ecosystems: western juniper encroachment and increasing stream temperatures. This thesis is divided into two chapters;...

Geographic variation in distribution and cover of principle native and non-native plant species along gradients of topography, climate, and disturbance in protected-area sagebrush steppe communities of the Columbia Plateau

Creator:: Esposito, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The sagebrush steppe ecosystem of the Columbia Plateau has become degraded by a long history of alternative land use and associated perturbations. Protection of remnant stands of intact sagebrush steppe currently relies upon their preservation within the nation's network of parks and protected-areas. The John Day Fossil Beds National Monument,...

Native Bee and Spider Community Responses to Grassland Restoration and Wildfire

Creator:: Smith DiCarlo, Lauren A.
Abstract:: Up to 99.9% of native North American grasslands have been degraded since European settlement, primarily due to agricultural conversion. Today, grasslands are a top priority for restoration as they provide essential habitat for many rare and endangered species; however, the majority of studies in grasslands have focused on vegetation or...

Mycorrhizal Fungi on the Sagebrush Steppe: Benefits for Restoring Keystone Rangeland Plant Species

Creator:: Prado-Tarango, David E.
Abstract:: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are plant symbionts that associate with the vast majority of terrestrial plants species. The AMF colonizes the plant roots by penetrating the root cortical cells, where the fungi exchanges mineral nutrients with the host plant for photosynthates. This association exists as a complex system in which...

Hydrogeology and Hydrologic Connectivity of a Semiarid Central Oregon Rangeland System

Creator:: Caruso, Philip
Abstract:: The hydrologic function of a landscape is an important concept for understanding the presence, movement and availability of water. The Camp Creek Paired Watershed Study (CCPWS) site in Central Oregon has been utilized to investigate the impacts of western juniper on watershed hydrologic function since 1993. The research presented here...

Describing the thermal regimes of two northeastern Oregon streams

Creator:: Raven, Sonja E.
Abstract:: Two tributaries of the south fork of the Burnt River, near Unity Oregon were studied during the summers of 2000 and 2001 to determine water heating and cooling patterns. Hourly temperature data were recorded for air, water, and soil parameters at four elevations 150m apart on Barney and Stevens Creeks....

Seed bank response to juniper expansion in the semi-arid lands of Oregon, USA

Creator:: Duncan, Corinne M.
Abstract:: Expansion of Juniperus occidentalis into the sagebrush steppe has resulted in significant changes in understory composition. A consequence of increased J. occidentalis dominance may be a depletion of the seed bank. The potential for depletion is problematic because a reduction in the amount of species available from the seed bank...
