Stand structures of Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana) woodlands and their relationships to the environment in southwestern Oregon

Creator:

Gilligan, Laurie A.

Abstract:

Large areas of non-coniferous communities in southwestern Oregon are thinned to reduce fire hazard and accomplish ecosystem restoration, under the assumption that current fuel loads are unnaturally high. Although Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana) woodlands are a characteristic landscape component in this region, little is known about their current or...

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...
