Interactions between fire and dwarf mistletoe in ponderosa pine

Creator:: Koonce, Andrea Lavender
Abstract:: The effects of dwarf mistletoe on fuel in precommercial ponderosa pine stands: Dwarf mistletoe and healthy stands were sampled by vertical planar intercept and whole tree biomass sampling techniques to measure fuel loading in ground and crown fuels. Differences in size, distribution, and vitality of fuel were shown to depend...

Classification strategies for unbalanced binary maps : finding Ponderosa pine in the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Riddell, Audrey P.
Abstract:: Forest species classifications are becoming increasingly automated as advances are made in machine learning. The algorithms used to identify tree species range from simple decision trees to intricate neural networks, and often excel in accurately delineating tree species. However, complex algorithms can have high input costs, including the cost of...

The expression of functional traits during seedling establishment in two populations of Pinus ponderosa from contrasting climates

Creator:: Kerr, Kelly L.
Abstract:: Vegetation patterns and species distributions are strongly linked to soil moisture regimes, and populations within a species from contrasting climatic regimes could exhibit differences in the degree to which certain functional traits related to establishment are expressed. Tree seedling survival is crucial for forest regeneration, and thus may be a...

The Past, Present, and Future of Fire and Ponderosa Pine Stand Dynamics in the Metolius Research Natural Area, Central Oregon

Creator:: Johnston, Kayla M.
Abstract:: The Metolius Research Natural Area (RNA), located 29 km northwest of Sisters, Oregon, was originally established in 1931 to maintain a ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. Ex Laws) and dry, mixed-conifer forest with the aim to meet objectives of preserving natural conditions, providing for research opportunities, and preserving gene pools...

Structure and hydraulic function of xylem in two tree species with contrasting amounts of sapwood, Pseudotsuga menziesii and Pinus ponderosa

Creator:: Domec, Jean-Christophe
Abstract:: Every wood anatomist knows that the wood near the center of a tree (juvenile wood) differs from the wood laid down at some distance from the pith (mature wood), and that the wood produced during the spring (earlywood) differs from the wood produced during the summer (latewood). There is a...

The influence of antidesiccants on field performance and physiology of 2+0 ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl.) seedlings

Creator:: Vera-Castillo, J. A. Gil
Abstract:: This thesis research examines the effects of film-forming antidesiccants applied to dormant pondexosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl.) seedlings after being lifted and to actively growing seedlings. The basic proposition was that antidesiccants would have a positive effect on reducing water loss in ponderosa pine seedlings. In order to evaluate the...

Inner Bark Utilization : A Nez Perce Example

Creator:: Churchill, Thomas E.
Abstract:: Ponderosa pine trees exhibiting large oval scars on their trunks are found in northeastern Oregon. Patterns in the occurrence and morphology of the scarred trunks raise questions of archeological interest. Examination of ethnographic sources from the Pacific Northwest indicate that the bark of ponderosa pine was peeled to obtain the...

Age structure and spatial pattern of old-growth ponderosa pine in Pringle Falls Experimental Forest, central Oregon

Creator:: Morrow, Robert J.
Abstract:: The dynamics of stands In old-growth ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests on the eastern flank of the central Oregon Cascades are Investigated. Age structure and spatial pattern of ponderosa pine within the Pringle Falls Experimental Forest Research Natural Area coupled with the fire history of the area aid In Interpreting...

Recruitment of ponderosa pine seedlings beneath partial overstories

Creator:: Keyes, Christopher R.
Abstract:: The objective of this project was to investigate the fate of ponderosa pine regeneration from seed to established seedling, and to determine the relative influences of several important stand elements on those fates. The project was carried out in a series of observational and experimental recruitment studies in central Oregon....

Soil-site productivity relationships of central Oregon ponderosa pine

Creator:: Wilson, Duncan Steil, 1969-
Abstract:: The relationship between annual foliage production and nitrogen and water stress was examined in 14 naturally regenerated, mid-rotation ponderosa pine stands in central Oregon. Current-year and older foliage masses, and foliage nitrogen contents and concentration were estimated from 132 destructively sampled trees. Litterfall mass and nitrogen retranslocation rates from senescing...
