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...

Hydromulch tackifier and sucrose effects on microbial nitrogen and Bromus tectorum biomass

Creator:: Perkins, Lora B.
Abstract:: There is growing interest in using nutrient manipulations to control invasive plants such as Brornus lectorurn L. (cheatgrass). Both labile (sucrose) and recalcitrant (straw and sawdust) carbon sources are added to the soil surface to reduce plant available soil N via soil microbial immobilization. However, the application rates used in...

Responses of forest understory plants to burial by volcanic tephra from Mount St. Helens, Washington

Creator:: Antos, Joseph A.
Abstract:: The effects of burial by tephra (volcanic aerial ejecta) on forest understory plants were examined northeast of Mount St. Helens, Washington, in the area where the 18 May 1980 eruption deposited tephra but did not destroy canopy trees. At six sites along a tephra depth gradient from 2-15 cm, understory...

The detection of ilarvirus (subgroup B) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

Creator:: McMorran, Jeffrey P.
Abstract:: The reliability and sensitivity of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the detection of ilarvirus (isometric labile ringspot virus) subgroup B and prune dwarf virus (PDV) isolates in Prunus and Malus species has been well established. To use this technique in large scale virus indexing programs more information was required on...

Non-target Effects of Biological Control: Ecological Risk of Tyria jacobaeae (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) to Senecio triangularis (Asteraceae) in Western Oregon

Creator:: Rodman, Madison G.
Abstract:: Non-target effects are one of the greatest potential risks of weed biological control programs, and understanding non-target effects of biological control at the population level is crucial for predicting when they will occur and altering the perception of biological control as a whole. In this thesis, we assessed the ecological...

Escape in Time: Phenology Mitigates Impacts of the Introduced Cinnabar Moth, Tyria jacobaeae, on Native Herb Senecio triangularis in Western Oregon

Creator:: Lunde, A. Katarina
Abstract:: Classic biological control can be a powerful option for those tasked with managing biological invasions; however, some biocontrol releases lead to non-target attack – feeding, damage or development on species other than the target species. The cinnabar moth, Tyria jacobaeae L. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) was introduced to Western Oregon as a...

Epiphytic yeasts isolated from apple leaves to control of gray and blue mold fruit rots of apple

Creator:: Falconi, Cesar E.
Abstract:: Eight phylloplane yeasts were isolated from backyard apple trees in Corvallis, OR. Yeast isolates were classified to genus or species level. All isolates were tested in vitro for antagonistic activity against the postharvest pathogens Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum. Of these isolates, Aureobasidium pullulans, Sporobolomyces roseus Rhodotorula sp., consistently reduced...

Post-dispersal seed fates in a Western Oregon native prairie

Creator:: Clark, Deborah L.
Abstract:: Knowledge of post-dispersal seed fates and other regeneration characteristics is crucial for predicting abundances and distributions of populations and, ultimately, community species composition and diversity. Seed fate studies, however, are rare primarily due to the difficulty of determining seed fates and causes of mortality. This thesis investigated post-dispersal seed fates...

West Eugene Native Wetland Restoration Research Project: Seed Dormancy, Germination, and Establishment

Creator:: Wilson, Mark V., Ingersoll, Cheryl A., and Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-
Abstract:: Seed size, abundance, viability, dormancy, and germination requirements strongly influence plant establishment and therefore are important considerations in restoration of native vegetation. These characteristics provide criteria for selection of suitable species, development of collection and pretreatment methods, and determination of seeding densities. The first set of objectives of this study...
