Incorporation of nitrogen from decomposing red alder leaves into plants and soil of a recent clearcut in Oregon

Creator:: Swanston, Christopher W. and Myrold, David Douglas
Abstract:: Nitrogen incorporation from red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) into an Oregon upland mesic forest soil was studied by tracing the fate of 15N added as 15N-labeled alder leaf litter. The recovery of 15N in vegetation, litter, light- and heavy-fractions of the soil, the chloroform-labile (microbial biomass) pool, and the whole...

Forest Fire Impacts on Carbon Uptake, Storage, and Emission: The Role of Burn Severity in the Eastern Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Meigs, Garrett W., Donato, Daniel C., Campbell, John L., Martin, Jonathan G., and Law, Beverly E.
Abstract:: This study quantifies the short-term effects of low-, moderate-, and high-severity fire on carbon pools and fluxes in the Eastern Cascades of Oregon. We surveyed 64 forest stands across four fires that burned 41,000 ha (35%) of the Metolius Watershed in 2002 and 2003, stratifying the landscape by burn severity...

Using multilevel remote sensing and ground data to estimate forest biomass resources in remote regions: a case study in the boreal forests of interior Alaska

Creator:: Andersen, Hans-Erik, Strunk, Jacob, Temesgen, Hailemariam, Atwood, Donald, and Winterberger, Ken
Abstract:: The emergence of a new generation of remote sensing and geopositioning technologies, as well as increased capabilities in image processing, computing, and inferential techniques, have enabled the development and implementation of increasingly efficient and cost-effective multilevel sampling designs for forest inventory. In this paper, we (i) describe the conceptual basis...

An integrated approach using Bacillus subtilis B26 and essential oils to limit fungal discoloration of wood

Creator:: Wang, Yu, Chang, Jianmin, Morrell, Jeffrey J., Freitag, Camille M., and Karchesy, Joseph J.
Abstract:: Bacillus subtilis and essential oils have been explored separately for their ability to limit colonization by wood stain and mold fungi, but neither approach has been completely effective. One alternative strategy would be to combine the bacterial biocontrol with one or more natural products extracts. In this report, the ability...

Stream temperature and streamside cover 14-17 years after clearcutting along small forested streams, western Oregon

Creator:: Newton, Mike and Cole, Liz
Abstract:: Stream temperatures were monitored on seven low-elevation western Oregon streams immediately after clearcut harvesting and 14-17 years later in two studies that examined buffer designs. One study on four streams used no-tree buffers with all trees next to the stream harvested within the clearcut units. The second study on three...

Copper, chromium, and arsenic levels in soils surrounding posts treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA)

Creator:: Morrell, Jeffrey J. and Huffman, Jacob
Abstract:: The levels of copper, chromium, and arsenic in soil surrounding CCA-treated posts and beneath CCA-treated stakes were investigated at a plot near Gainesville, Florida. Metal levels were elevated in soil immediately adjacent to the treated wood, but decreased with distance away or depth. Mean extractable arsenic levels ranged from 1.74...

Oregon’s Forest Sector Innovation System: An Investigation Towards Advanced Performance

Creator:: Orozco, Nadine, Hansen, Eric, Knowles, Chris, and Leavengood, Scott
Abstract:: The forest products industry has faced numerous challenges in remaining innovative: outside forces such as industry culture and policy provide few incentives while poor communication among industry actors impedes creative growth from within. This article outlines results gathered from personal interviews with industry professionals and an industry survey on key...

Assessing the Carbon Consequences of Western Juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) Encroachment Across Oregon, USA

Creator:: Campbell, John L., Kennedy, Robert E., Cohen, Warren B., and Miller, Richard F.
Abstract:: Our ability to assess the continental impacts of woody encroachment remains compromised by the paucity of studies quantifying regional encroachment rates. This knowledge gap is especially apparent when it comes to quantifying the impact of woody encroachment on large-scale carbon dynamics. In this study, we use a combination of aerial...

Fire exclusion effects on riparian forest dynamics in southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Messier, Michael S., Shatford, Jeff P.A., and Hibbs, David E.
Abstract:: Euro-American settlement and organized fire suppression have been associated with structural and compositional changes in many upland forests of the western United States, but little is known about the impacts on riparian forests, portions of the landscape protected for habitat and water quality. In this study, we used dendro-ecological methods...

Berry-producing shrub characteristics following wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone National Park

Creator:: Beschta, Robert L. and Ripple, William J.
Abstract:: Gray wolves (Canis lupus) were reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park in 1995-96, thus completing the park’s large predator guild. In the fall of 2010, approximately 15 years after wolf reintroduction, we sampled ten genera/species of berry-producing shrubs within 97 aspen (Populus tremuloides) stands in the park’s northern ungulate winter range....
