The purpose of this study was to: (1) evaluate land
use and vegetation history of the Willamette Floodplain
Research Natural Area; (2) characterize present day
vegetation; (3) evaluate the relation of vegetation to
environment, and (4) establish a baseline dataset for future
trend analysis in order that response of different...
The present day vegetation pattern of the Willamette Valley is a result of a long past of human alteration of the landscape. Beginning with aboriginal burning of the grasslands to present day land uses, the vegetation of the valley has been affected by anthropogenic activity. Wet prairie is a vanishing...
Fires set by Native Americans were important in shaping and maintaining Willamette Valley prairie plant communities. With fire exclusion after Euro-American settlement in the 1840's, composition of the remaining prairies shifted toward shrub and tree dominance with a concomitant decline in endemic prairie plant populations. I hypothesize that by restoring...
Consumer demand for improved-quality and fresh-like food products have led to the development of new non-thermal preservation methods. High pressure processing (HPP) is currently the novel non-thermal technology best established in the food processing industry. However, many potential HPP applications would require long treatment times to ensure an adequate inactivation...
I. Performance and Carcass Quality of Broilers Raised on
Wire Flooring With and Without Padded Roosts
Two experiments were performed with broilers raised on
wire flooring with and without padded roosts to study the
effects of bird performance and carcass quality. Each
experiment had 480 straight-run commercial broilers
divided equally...
This index provides access to infonnation about women in 102 books and journals. The information contained in each entry is only as good as the original and the quality varies considerably. Much of this infonnation has not before been easily accesible in this form. My hope is that this index...
