Recommendations for Control of Tall Oatgrass, Poison Oak, and Rose in Willamette Valley Upland Prairies

Creator:: Wilson, Mark V. and Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-
Abstract:: Native upland 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 many rare and endangered species such as the Fender's blue butterfly and its host plant, Kincaid’s lupine. Invasion of remnant prairies by...

Restoration of native upland prairies: Habitat for Fender’s blue butterfly (Icaricia icarioides fenderi)

Creator:: Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950- and Wilson, Mark V.
Abstract:: Our project goal is to promote the abundance of the endangered Fender’s blue butterfly (Icaricia icarioides fenderi) by recreating upland prairie habitat in former agricultural land at Finley National Wildlife Refuge, Corvallis, Oregon. To achieve this goal we initiated the following three studies. Study One: Experimental Investigation on the Effectiveness...

Fire effects on wetland prairie species : final report

Creator:: Clark, Deborah L., Wilson, Mark V., and Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-
Abstract:: Wetland prairies of the Willamette Valley, considered among the rarest of Oregon’s ecosystems, are threatened by invasion of woody species and non-native species. Because of its historical importance, fire is a top choice of managers for preventing the encroachment of woody species. However, the effects of prescribed burning on present...

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...

Lichen response to the environment and forest structure in the western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:: Martin, Erin P.
Abstract:: Lichens are an important part of the biota in western Oregon forests, where they perform valuable ecological roles and contribute significantly to biodiversity. Lichens in western Oregon are threatened by a number of factors including air pollution and land use practices. If we wish to maintain the persistence of lichens...

The influence of prescribed fire on the rare endemic plant Delphinium pavonaceum (Peacock larkspur)

Creator:: McKernan, Brie-Anne
Abstract:: In the wetland prairie of William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge (FNWR) in western Oregon, we investigated the response of Delphinium pavonaceum Ewan (peacock larkspur, Ranunculaceae), an endangered perennial forb, to four unreplicated dormant season fire regimes of 0, 2, 4, or 10 fires that were applied over a 12-year...

Regeneration biology of Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens, an endangered plant of the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-, Finley, Karen K., and Ingersoll, Cheryl A.
Abstract:: Erigeron decumbens var. decumbens, the Willamette daisy, is known only from the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Herbarium records, from the 1800's until 1934, indicate that the Willamette daisy was once common and widely distributed throughout the Willamette Valley (Clark et al. 1993). However, between 1934 and 1980, this taxon was...

The association of epiphytic macrolichens and bryophytes with riparian stand types along a valley continuum, Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Ruchty, Andrea M.
Abstract:: I surveyed epiphytic macrolichens and bryophytes in six stands in each of seven riparian stand types in the Oregon Coast Range. This study (Chapter 2) describes the association of epiphytes with stand types and the corresponding potential of forest canopy conversions to affect epiphyte communities. Species composition, diversity, and representation...

Epiphytic macrolichens in relation to forest management and topography in a western Oregon watershed

Creator:: Berryman, Shanti D.
Abstract:: This dissertation describes patterns in epiphytic macrolichen community composition, diversity, and biomass across various stand types in the Blue River watershed of western Oregon. It first examines the relative importance of ecological factors such as stand age, remnant tree retention, and topography to lichen communities in the landscape. It then...
