Growth and carcass merit of purebred Jersey steer calves finished on grain-based diets at two different energy levels

Creator:

Tschida, Garrett L.

Abstract:

Purebred Jersey steers are often overlooked for beef production due to the perceived poor growth and production. Currently dairy persons marketing their steer offspring are receiving minimal compensation due to lack of demand by beef feeders and a saturated veal market. Twenty purebred Jersey steers were used to evaluate lifetime...

Non-native and native plant species distributions and variability along an elevation gradient in the Wallowa Mountains, Oregon

Creator:

Averett, Joshua P.

Abstract:

Invasion by non-native plants into natural areas is an important component of global change that threatens biodiversity and ecosystem structure and function. Mountains are currently among the least invaded ecosystems, however, these biodiversity hotspots are increasingly under threat of exotic plant invasion. Evaluation of plant species distribution patterns in mountain...

Non-Native Plant Invasion along Elevation and Canopy Closure Gradients in a Middle Rocky Mountain Ecosystem

Creator:

Averett, Joshua P., McCune, Bruce, Parks, Catherine G., Naylor, Bridgett J., DelCurto, Tim, and Mata-González, Ricardo

Abstract:

Mountain environments are currently among the ecosystems least invaded by non-native species; however, mountains are increasingly under threat of non-native plant invasion. The slow pace of exotic plant invasions in mountain ecosystems is likely due to a combination of low anthropogenic disturbances, low propagule supply, and extreme/steep environmental gradients. The...
