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,...

The effects of nitrogen manipulations and hydrology on the establishment and competitive abilities of wetland prairie plant species (western Oregon)

Creator:: Davis, Kimberly J.
Abstract:: Many studies suggest that weedy plant species are most successful when soil nitrogen in abundant. Consequently, I used soil nitrogen manipulations to determine if altering nitrogen would affect the establishment of both weedy and native plant species in a western Oregon wetland prairie. In two studies, we added carbon amendments...

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...

Conservation genetics of Kincaid's lupine : a threatened plant of western Oregon and southwest Washington grasslands

Creator:: Severns, Paul M.
Abstract:: Kincaid's lupine (Lupinus oreganus Heller) is a federally listed threatened species native to remnant grassland of western Oregon and southwestern Washington, and is the primary larval host plant of a once thought extinct butterfly, Plebejus icarioides fenderi Macy. Past studies concerning Kincaid's lupine reproduction suggested that populations may suffer reductions...

Effects of fire on seedling establishment in upland prairies in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Maret, Mary P.
Abstract:: Prior to European settlement, native prairie dominated the landscape of the Willamette Valley. Today, due to urbanization, agriculture, and the cessation of burning, only isolated remnants of these grasslands still exist. In response to conservation concerns, there has been a move to restore the remaining prairies in the Willamette Valley,...

Conservation of Sidalcea nelsoniana through habitat management : effects of burning, mowing, and altered flooding regime on a rare Willamette Valley perennial

Creator:: Bartels, Marilynn R.
Abstract:: Active habitat management plays a key role in the preservation of native ecosystems and rare species, especially in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where natural succession to woodlands threatens the few wetland prairies remaining after 150 years of agriculture and urbanization. Sidalcea nelsoniana, listed as threatened under the federal Endangered...

The effects of native plants on non-native plant abundance in a restoration setting : differences among native species and the predictive ability of species traits

Creator:: Goodridge, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: Reducing the cover of non-native species is one of the challenges of ecosystem restoration. The goal of this study is to identify native species traits that will increase native species cover and reduce non-native species cover in the first growing season at upland and wetland prairie restoration sites. Native and...

Fescue taxonomy in the Pacific coast states

Creator:: Wilson, Barbara L.
Abstract:: Accurate taxonomy is essential to preservation and management of native grasses. Four problems in fescue taxonomy were investigated: the identity of the native fescue that dominates western Oregon and Washington prairies, the relationship of native Festuca roemeri to closely related grasses, the status of F. howellii and F. washingtonica, and...
