Trichoderma spp. : distribution in stumps infested with Phellinus weirii and growth and antagonism in vitro

Creator:: Goldfarb, Barry
Abstract:: To determine which isolates will most rapidly replace Phellinus weirii in stumps and roots, Trichoderma spp. were isolated from P. weirii-infested stumps and roots, identified, and examined for growth rates and lethal effects on P. weirii in vitro. Phellinus weirii-infested Douglas-fir stumps and stump roots were sampled for microorganisms by...

Comparison of the water relations characteristics of woody plants in western Oregon

Creator:: Davis, Kent J.
Abstract:: I studied the water relations traits, twig conductivity, C'3 isotopic composition, and wood density of three conifer and five angiosperm species in western Oregon. This study took place from spring 2002 to fall 2003 on four sites. Species were selected to represent the diversity of drought tolerance of woody plants...

Growth and reproductive ecology of Larix laricina in interior Alaska

Creator:: Brown, Kevin R.
Abstract:: Larix laricina in Alaska occurs on sites ranging from productive slopes and riverbottoms to wet bogs underlain by permafrost. It is largest on sites without permafrost, where it is associated with Picea glauca, but is much more common in bogs, where it occurs with Picea mariana. In this study, I...

The ecology and reproduction of Sophora leachiana Peck (Fabaceae)

Creator:: Crowder, Cheryl Alison
Abstract:: The goal of the study was to collect data on the ecology and reproduction of Sophora leachiana in order to help explain the rarity and restricted range of this species. There are 13 known populations of S. leachiana, occurring in a 29 by 6.4 km area in the Siskiyou Mountains...

Development of Quantitative PCR Assays to Aid in Root-knot Nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) Diagnostics and Resistance Breeding Efforts in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Soule, Michelle L.
Abstract:: In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), the two most common root-knot nematodes are Meloidogyne hapla and Meloidogyne chitwoodi. These nematodes can infect a wide variety of crops and can cause significant losses. Currently, it is common for the field of nematology to use labor-intensive microscopy to identify plant-parasitic nematodes based on...

Community Ecology of Foliar Fungi and Oomycetes of Pseudotsuga menziesii on the Pacific Northwest Coast

Creator:: Gonen, Lilah
Abstract:: Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii (coast Douglas-fir) is a tree of ecological, economic, and cultural value in its native North American Pacific Northwest (PNW) distribution. P. menziesii is host to a variety of well-documented endophytic foliar microorganisms, including the fungus Nothophaeocryptopus gaeumannii, the causal agent of Swiss needle cast (SNC), and...

Factors limiting the distribution of the sensitive lichen Usnea longissima in the Oregon Coast Range : habitat or dispersal?

Creator:: Keon, Dylan B.
Abstract:: The sensitive lichen Usnea longissima Ach., formerly a fairly common circumboreal species, has been extirpated from much of its range (e.g., Eastern Europe). Although the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) remains a relative stronghold for the species, U longissima faces increasing pressure in the region from habitat loss, air pollution, and...

Spatiotemporal Assessment of Crop Histories in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Kumbhakar, Ishika G.
Abstract:: The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum) is one of the most important food crops in the United States, as well as globally. As demand rises, growers in the Pacific Northwest are revisiting their crop management strategies to determine whether there are additional ways to enhance crop productivity while managing plant and...

Differential Effects of First Year Wheat Genotype on the Suppression of Take-All Disease and the Establishment of Suppressive Microbial Agents in the Rhizosphere

Creator:: Perkins, Evan M.
Abstract:: Recent research in the UK has found that the wheat cultivar grown in the first year can have a significant impact on the amount of take-all that develops in the second year, regardless of the cultivar planted in year two. ‘Einstein’ is one such cultivar that reduces take-all disease (reduced...

The Role of Plant-soil Feedback in the Invasion of Brachypodium sylvaticum in Douglas-fir Forests

Creator:: Esterson, Andrew
Abstract:: Invasive plants have the capacity to transform landscapes and alter ecosystem function, causing significant economic and ecological damage. These effects include displacement and reduction of native flora and fauna, altered fire regimes, modification of biotic and abiotic soil properties, as well as local, regional, and global economic impacts. With such...
