Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have been steadily increasing from anthropogenic energy production, development and use. Carbon cycling in the terrestrial biosphere, particularly forest ecosystems, has an important rol ...
Yeast biocontrol agents that were applied to 'Bose' and 'Anjou' pears in the field
up to three weeks prior to harvest were found to survive on the fruit at high population
levels on both pear varieties. Cryptococcus in ...

Nutrient losses of the biologically responsive anions, nitrate and bicarbonate together with the major cations, were monitored on 14 small watersheds in Oregon's Coast Range and evaluated in relation to management-induce ...
The development of personal computer software
coupled to an analytical stereoplotter allows major gains
in efficiency and accuracy in a number of forestry related
subjects. This thesis describes the operation of a sys ...
Improved monitoring of forest biomass is needed to quantify natural and anthropogenic effects on the terrestrial carbon cycle. Landsat's temporal and spatial coverage, fine spatial grain, and long history of earth observ ...
The internal moisture stress of Douglas-fir was determined on foliage collected in the Siskiyou Mountains of southwestern Oregon. Internal moisture stress integrates both climatic and edaphic environmental effects as the ...
Forest spatial pattern is a primary interest of landscape ecology due to the relationships between spatial configuration of biotic components and ecological processes. The spatial pattern must be measured in meaningful w ...
Adequate management and scientific investigation of ecosystems
depends on classification of landscape systems based on all significant
bio-physical and associated cultural properties. The present
classification is a h ...
For nearly two decades, foresters in the Oregon Coast Range have been witnessing a substantial decease in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii [Mirb.] Franco.) vigor and growth, caused by Swiss needle cast ( ...
Since the late 1880's western juniper has expanded in range and
increased in density in sagebrush-bunchgrass, riparian, and forested plant
communities of the Pacific Northwest. Succession to western juniper
woodland h ...
Oregon's forest product industry continues to be the nation's number one
producer of wood products. The forest products industry contributes significantly
to Oregon's economy. Changes in timber supply, land use policy, ...
Chapter 1 Growth and Survival of Root-Wrenched Douglas-fir Seedlings Root wrenching of seedlings (severing the roots 15 cm below the soil surface) was investigated as a nursery practice to improve growth and survival of ...
