Progress report [I]: Restoring prairies: A synthesis of studies on vegetation and invasive species in support of effective management (Year two)

Creator:: Wilson, Mark V. and Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-
Abstract:: Willamette Valley wetland and upland prairies are some of the most endangered ecosystems in the United States, and provide habitat for many federally listed species. These are dynamic systems, subject to ecological succession and invasion by aggressive non-native species, and require active management to maintain management goals. This is true...

Progress report II: Restoring prairies: A synthesis of studies on vegetation and invasive species in support of effective management (Year two)

Creator:: Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950- and Wilson, Mark V.
Abstract:: Willamette Valley wetland and upland prairies are some of the most endangered ecosystems in the United States, and provide habitat for many federally listed species. Because these are dynamic systems, subject to ecological succession and invasion by aggressive non-native species, prairies require active management to maintain management goals. This is...

Plant traits – a tool for restoration?

Creator:: Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-, Wilson, Mark V., Roberts, Rachel, Dunwiddie, Peter W., Stanley, Amanda, and Kaye, Thomas N.
Abstract:: Question: Most results of restoration efforts are species-specific and/or site-specific and therefore are not general enough to be easily applied to other species and other sites. Our research addresses the issue of species-specific results by investigating the feasibility of using plant traits instead of taxonomic species to characterize species responses...

Why pest plant control and native plant establishment failed : a restoration autopsy

Creator:: Wilson, Mark V., Ingersoll, Cheryl A., Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-, and Wilson, Mark G.
Abstract:: Explaining restoration failure can be as important as touting success. We used a series of studies to understand the failure of techniques commonly used to restore wetland prairies in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon. Burning, fallowing, and solarization (covering tilled plots with plastic sheeting to heat the soil) had...

Management of Tall Oatgrass Arrhenatherum elatius in Willamette Valley Prairies: Preliminary Report. A component of the project Restoration and Vegetation Management of Fender's Blue Butterfly Habitats

Creator:: Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950- and Wilson, Mark V.
Abstract:: Native prairies, which once dominated the landscape of the Willamette Valley, are considered among the rarest of Oregon's ecosystems. Even though only remnants remain today, they harbor rare and endangered species such as the Fender's blue butterfly (Icaricia icariodes fenderi) and its preferred host plant, Kincaid's lupine (Lupinus sulphureus ssp....

Final report: Predicting field establishment rates from standardized plant traits - Year two of: Restoring prairies: A synthesis of studies on vegetation and invasive species in support of effective management

Creator:: Wilson, Mark V., Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-, and Roberts, Rachel E.
Abstract:: Willamette Valley wetland prairies are some of the most endangered ecosystems in the United States, and provide habitat for many federally listed species (Wilson et al. 1993, Noss et al. 1995, USFWS 2000, Schultz et al. 2003). A rigorous program of ecosystem restoration can protect and enhance wetland plants, animals,...

Final Report: Controlling Tall Oatgrass in Fender’s Blue Butterfly Habitats

Creator:: Wilson, Mark V. and Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-
Abstract:: We report final results from a five-year field experiment evaluating the effects of different mowing regimes on groups of native and non-native grasses and forbs. The study site was a degraded prairie at Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge dominated by the pest plant Arrhenatherum elatius (tall oatgrass). Mowing treatments differed...

Final Report 1994-1997: Effects of Fire, Mowing, and Mowing with Herbicide on Native Prairie of Baskett Butte, Baskett Slough NWR

Creator:: Wilson, Mark V. and Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-
Abstract:: We report results from a field experiment evaluating the effectiveness of mowing, mowing and herbicides, and burning on woody plants, key native and non-native grasses and forbs, and the Fender’s blue butterfly. The goal was to find a technique that controlled woody pest plants without harming native species or promoting...

Danebo Wetland Prairie Project Environmental Education Curriculum

Creator:: Windham, George, Wagner, Jan, Ruzicka, Angela, Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-, Wilson, Mark V., and Lederman, Norman
Abstract:: One goal of this environmental education curriculum is that students will gain an appreciation of Willamette Valley wetland prairies, a threatened ecosystem, and will gain an understanding of the importance of protecting these wetlands. A second goal is that students will see first-hand the processes involved in conducting scientific field...

The Willamette Valley (Oregon) Prairie Plant Trait Dataset

Creator:: Clark, Deborah and Wilson, Mark V.
Abstract:: The Willamette Valley (Oregon) Prairie Plant Trait Dataset is a compilation of plant traits of species important in upland prairies, wetland prairies, vernal pools, and emergent wetlands, and in the restoration of prairies and wetlands of the Willamette Valley of Oregon. These species are also found widely throughout the Pacific...
