Conserving and Creating Vernal Pool Habitat in the Mid-Atlantic

Creator:: Campbell, Michelle
Abstract:: This project is intended to study the effectiveness of manmade vernal pools for creating habitat value, particularly within an urban setting. Natural vernal pool habitats are under threat across the United States as filling and development activities have led to permanent loss of habitat. Mitigation requirements or other restoration/creation activities...

Habitat associations and life histories of odonata in riverine wetlands of the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Beatty, Christopher D.
Abstract:: This thesis explored the distributions and life histories of dragonflies and damselflies (Insecta: Odonata) of the riverine wetlands of the Willamette Valley in western Oregon, USA. Odonate species distributions were characterized over two seasons in the autumn of 2000 and the spring of 2001-at twenty-seven wetlands located throughout the valley....

Food abundance and energetic carrying capacity for wintering waterfowl in the Great Salt Lake wetlands

Creator:: Johnson, Amber Marie
Abstract:: Great Salt Lake (GSL), Utah, is surrounded by 191,884 hectares of wetlands. These wetlands provide critical habitat for hundreds of thousands of breeding, migrating and wintering waterfowl each year. As the human population around GSL increases, government officials have proposed to divert more water from the Jordan, Ogden, and Bear...

Effects of grass seed agriculture on aquatic invertebrate communities in seasonal wetlands of the southern Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Wyss, Lance A.
Abstract:: An estimated 99% of native wet prairie has been lost in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, but a large number of seasonal wetlands remain on private lands dedicated to grass seed production within the historical wet prairie landscape. Because agriculture is known to alter physical and chemical wetland conditions, I investigated...

Conservation and Community Development in Nepal : Case Study of a Non-government Organization

Creator:: Cannon, Joseph R.
Abstract:: The internship I performed was with Rural Community Development Program (RCDP), a domestic non-governmental organization in the country of Nepal. This organization focuses on community development goals in rural communities, utilizing the efforts of volunteers within the context of environmental conservation ideals. I primarily worked with the associated community plant...

Ecophenology and Control of European Frogbit in a Hybrid Cattail Marsh of the St. Marys River, Michigan

Creator:: Wellons, Kathryn C.
Abstract:: Great Lakes coastal wetland communities are threatened by the impacts of invasive plants on ecosystem function and biodiversity. What allows invasive plants to become dominant in invaded communities can be hard to define and context-dependent. Traits associated with invasion success in wetland systems – rapid vegetative growth, competitive superiority in...

The effects of native plants on non-native plant abundance in a restoration setting : differences among native species and the predictive ability of species traits

Creator:: Goodridge, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: Reducing the cover of non-native species is one of the challenges of ecosystem restoration. The goal of this study is to identify native species traits that will increase native species cover and reduce non-native species cover in the first growing season at upland and wetland prairie restoration sites. Native and...

Assessing cumulative influences of watershed-scale landuses on reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) abundance

Creator:: Inahara, Satomi
Abstract:: The West Eugene Wetlands, Eugene, Oregon, which provide habitat for number of endemic and endangered plant species, are currently threatened by a Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) invasion. This study addresses the hypothesis that Phalaris spread can be explained in part by using watershed-scale landuse patterns as surrogates of the...
