The effects of cadmium on the nitrogen fixation system in Alnus rubra

Creator:: Wickliff, Carlos
Abstract:: Alnus rubra (Bong. ) seedlings were grown in sand culture and irrigated with nutrient solution containing CdCl₂ ranging from 5 μg to 100 mg per liter. Treatment of A. rubra seedlings for 4 weeks with 50 and 100 mg CdCl₂ per liter of nitrogen-free nutrient solution decreased in situ nitrogenase...

The effects of univalent cations on the inductive formation of nitrate reductase

Creator:: Nitsos, Ronald Eugene
Abstract:: An investigation was undertaken to determine whether potassium is indeed necessary for the in vivo synthesis of a specific protein. The effects of univalent cations on the inductive formation of nitrate reductase and on the level of activity of representative non-adaptive enzyme are presented. Cultures of Neurospora crassa were grown...

Propagule sources, disturbance characteristics and the inital establishment of riparian vegetation after debris flows

Creator:: Gecy, Jeanne Leslie
Abstract:: Debris flows are a major cause of disturbance to riparian vegetation. Both observational and experimental studies were used to examine the initial recovery of riparian vegetation after debris flows on headwater streams in the western Cascades of Oregon. My goal was to determine the roles of seedlings and vegetative sprouts,...

Population viability analysis of endangered plant species : an evaluation of stochastic methods and an application to a rare prairie plant

Creator:: Kaye, Thomas N.
Abstract:: Transition matrix models are one of the most widely used tools for assessing population viability. The technique allows inclusion of environmental variability, thereby permitting estimation of probabilistic events, such as extinction. However, few studies use the technique to compare the effects of management treatments on population viability, and fewer still...

Effects of Preinoculation with VAM fungi isolated from different sites on plant tolerance to salinity in soils amended with sodium chloride

Creator:: Cantrell, Isabella Cardona
Abstract:: The hypothesis that inoculation of transplants with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi before planting into saline soils would alleviate salt effects on growth and productivity was tested on lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and onion (Allium cepa L.). A secondary hypothesis was that the fungi isolated from a saline soil would be...

Ozone flux in Helianthus annuus (L.)

Creator:: Smith, Elaine D.
Abstract:: Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L., cv. NK894) seedlings, grown hydroponically, were exposed to ozone concentrations of 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 ppm at 60% RH, or 0.0 and 0.3 ppm at 30% and 90% RH, for 6 h/d, for four consecutive days, at ages 15 to 18 days from seeding. Plant...

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...

Establishment tolerance of six native sagebrush steppe species to imazapic (PLATEAU®) herbicide implications for restoration and recovery

Creator:: Bekedam, Steven
Abstract:: Scientists and land managers realize that integrated weed management (IWM) strategies are needed to attain successful and lasting improvements of weed infested landscapes. At this time no broadly reliable and environmentally safe IWM strategy has been developed to control exotic annual grasses that dominate many ecosystems of the northern Great...

Cryptogam communities in forest and steppe ecosystems of Oregon, USA

Creator:: Root, Heather T.
Abstract:: I focus on addressing knowledge gaps relating to management of cryptogams in Oregon's public lands in Pseudotsuga menziesii-Tsuga heterophylla forests on the west side of the Cascade Range and dryland steppe in the Cascade Range's rainshadow. While a great deal of research has illustrated the importance of late-successional forests for...

Using local climate to explain temporal variation in rare plant populations

Creator:: Pfingsten, Ian A.
Abstract:: Increased temperatures due to anthropogenic-induced climate change may raise the threat of extinction for taxa with sessile life histories (e.g., plants) in the near future. Linking climate change models to demographic models may provide useful insights into the potential effects of environmental changes on rare plants, and therefore aid in...
