(American Institute of Biological Sciences, 2005-07)Aldo Leopold, perhaps best known for his revolutionary and poignant essays about nature, was also an eloquent advocate during the 1930s and 1940s of the need to maintain wolves and other large carnivores in forest and r ...
-
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2012-06-19)In 2002, the Biscuit Wildfire burned a portion of the previously established, replicated conifer unthinned and thinned experimental units of the Siskiyou Long-Term Ecosystem Productivity (LTEP) experiment, southwest Or ...
-
(2008-06-13)Protracted drought in the southwest U.S. has had significant impacts on the region’s keystone ecosystem, the pinyon-juniper (PJ) woodlands. Drought conditions in 9 of the last 10 years, exacerbated by extreme drought i ...

Mesoscale Variation in Snag and Hardwood Densities and Sizes in Old-Growth Forests in Western Oregon (Society of American Foresters, 2012-01)Snags and hardwoods contribute to biological, structural, and functional diversity in old-growth forests. In the US Pacific Northwest, only general knowledge about regional patterns is available to determine target densi ...
-
(2009-04-06)Soils are the largest terrestrial pool of carbon, therefore it is critical to understand what controls soil carbon efflux to the atmosphere in light of current climate uncertainty. The primary efflux of carbon from soi ...
-
(2012-12-14)The structure and composition of mixed-conifer forest (MCF) in central Oregon has been altered by fire exclusion and logging. The resulting increased density, spatial contagion, and loss of fire resistant trees decrease ...
-
(The Mycological Society of America, 2013-01)Recent surveys of belowground fungal biodiversity in Mexico and USA have revealed many undescribed truffle species, including many in the genus Tuber. Here we describe seven new species: Tuber beyerlei, T. castilloi, T. ...
-
(2009-04-13)Litter nutrient dynamics contribute significantly to biogeochemical cycling in forest ecosystems. These dynamics may be influenced by site attributes, litter nutrient concentrations, and soil nutrient availability eithe ...
-
(2008-04-23)Silvicultural canopy gaps are emerging as an alternative management tool to accelerate development of complex forest structure in young, even-aged forests of the Pacific Northwest. I investigated patterns of nitrogen (N) ...
-
(Springer, 2012-09-22)Annual grass invasion into shrub-dominated ecosystems is associated with changes in nutrient cycling that may alter nitrogen (N) limitation and retention. Carbon (C) applications that reduce plant-available N have bee ...
-
Non-linear nitrogen dynamics and calcium depletion along a temperate forest soil nitrogen gradient (2007-10-01)Understanding how N availability influences base cation stores is critical for long-term ecosystem sustainability. Indices of nitrogen (N) availability and the distribution of nutrients in plant biomass, soil, and soil w ...
-
(2009-09-02)This collection of three manuscripts serves to improve methods for collecting, interpreting, and utilizing autocorrelated data from headwater stream networks. Each stream network is comprised of linear segments. These ...
-
(Elsevier, 2012-01-15)The regular monitoring of evapotranspiration from satellites has been limited because of discontinuous temporal coverage, resulting in snapshots at a particular point in space and time. We developed a temporal upscaling ...
-
Overstory density and disturbance impacts on the resilience of coniferous forests of western Oregon (2012-03-09)A trait based approach was used to assess impacts of overstory density and thinning on understory vegetation components related to wildlife habitat. The relationship between overstory basal area and understory vegetation ...
-
(2008-07-21)The 2002 Biscuit Fire burned through more than 200,000 ha of mixed conifer/ evergreen hardwood forests in southwestern Oregon and northwestern California. The remarkable size of the fire and the diversity of conditions ...
-
(2008-07-11)Salal is plant species that is native to forestland throughout the PNW and northern California that has been identified as a competitor to early crop tree development. This study consisted of a field and a radioisotope l ...

Plant community recovery after high severity wildfire and post-fire management in the Klamath Region (2007-11-19)Disturbance and microclimate interact to play a central role influencing the composition and structure of plant communities. In this thesis, I examined plant community composition and structure twenty years after high se ...
-
(2012-11-05)The link between aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) and resource gradients generated by complex terrain (solar radiation, nutrients, and moisture) has been established in the literature. Belowground ecosystem st ...
