Crops were planted into tilled strips in an established perennial ryegrass
(Lolium perenne L. 'Manhattan II'), sod covering various portions (55%, 66%,
77%) of the row width. Italian beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L. 'Romano II')
biomass and yields showed a trend among sod strips with lower yields
produced in plots with...

Assessment of the environmental impacts of an agricultural production system
requires information on both soil water quality and solute flux. Passive Capillary Samplers
(PCAPS), which sample water from the vadose zone using fiber glass wicks, have shown
potential to provide both flux and solute concentration in unsaturated zone sampling but...
The omnivorous ground beetle, Pterostichus melanarius Illager (Coleoptera: Carabidae), is a ubiquitous inhabitant of western Oregon crop land. Because it is often the most abundant ground beetle, and attains densities that could lead to serious impacts on its prey sources, I sought to understand the overall diet composition, and specifically...
