Vulnerability and adaptation of Pacific Northwest shellfisheries to ocean acidification

Creator:: Katz, Brian G.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of shellfish stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest who are adapting to ocean acidification (OA). This study developed a geovisualization tool of existing environmental data for assessing species-specific risk profiles to OA (based on their exposure and sensitivity),...

Strategic investments in agricultural industries and Oregon's economic development

Creator:: Koong, Dennis T
Abstract:: This research is concerned with the current debate among Oregonians on how to improve the standard of living and accelerate economic development in Oregon. The main question is what economic activities make Oregon, and regions within Oregon grow? To find out where Oregon's economic strength and weaknesses lie, first we...

Introgression and Evaluation of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Conferring Resistance to Quizalofop-p-ethyl Herbicide

Creator:: Richter, Colette M.
Abstract:: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops in the world supplying about 18.8 percent of the world's caloric energy supply and 20 percent of the world's protein. In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), over one million hectares of wheat are grown every year. Wheat production is typically...

Trait-based approaches to linking vegetation and food webs in early-seral forests of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Campbell, John L. and Donato, Daniel C.
Abstract:: Both the structure and composition of naturally generated early-seral forests in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) can be profoundly different than that of more developed forest seres, especially in the period after a major disturbance but before conifers re-develop a closed canopy. While it is reasonable to suggest that the unique...

Climate effects on red alder growth in the Pacific Northwest of North America

Creator:: Cortini, F., Comeau, P. G., Wang, T., Hibbs, D. E., and Bluhm, A.
Abstract:: We investigated the effects of climate on the growth of red alder across a broad latitudinal gradient and over a wide range of growing conditions in the Pacific Northwest of North America (PNW). Data for this study came from a study established in 1988 that includes 31 research installations located...

Nuclear and chloroplast diversity of Pacific Northwest wheat (Triticum aestivum) breeding germplasm

Creator:: Edwards, Melanie Love
Abstract:: Wheat breeders must effectively maintain and manage existing genetic diversity in order to continue the development of superior genotypes. It is therefore fundamental that the genetic relationships and diversity within the germplasm pools be thoroughly characterized and understood. Recently, DNA-based markers have provided powerful tools for genetic diversity analysis. This...

Utilization of the Non-Native Seagrass, Zostera japonica, by Crab and Fish in Pacific Northwest Estuaries

Creator:: Sund, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The introduction of non-native species often results in fundamental changes in the structure and function of disturbed environments. In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), the introduced seagrass Zostera japonica is rapidly expanding in distribution, impacting stakeholders and public use of the intertidal. Z. japonica’s expansion has prompted a number of different...

Identifying Quantitative Trait Loci for Resistance Against Stripe Rust and Septoria tritici blotch in Soft White Winter Wheat

Creator:: Cobertera, David
Abstract:: Stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) and Septoria tritici blotch (Zymoseptoria tritici) are a constant and significant threat to wheat production, significantly reducing wheat quality and yield. Wheat is responsible for 20% of the world’s human calorie intake, and wheat production must increase to supply the demand of the...

Multi-hazard framework and analysis of soil-bridge systems : long duration earthquake and tsunami loading

Creator:: Carey, Trevor J.
Abstract:: During the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, numerous bridge structures were damage or destroyed. The damage to bridge systems was caused by long duration strong ground shaking, tsunami inundation forces, or both. Long duration strong ground shaking from subduction zone earthquakes and the multi-hazard scenario of combined earthquake...

MeintsDevelopingWinterFoodBarley.pdf

Creator:: Meints, Brigid, Cuesta-Marcos, Alfonso, Ross, Andrew S., Fisk, Scott, Kongraksawech, Teepakorn, Marshall, Juliet M., Murphy, Kevin, and Hayes, Patrick M.
Abstract:: Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has been cultivated for human consumption for thousands of years. However, most North Americans do not consume barley on a regular basis. In the last decade, there has been a renewed interest in barley production for human consumption. A number of quality traits estimate nutritional value...
