Response of Soil Microbially Mediated Nutrient Cycling and Community Structure to Timber Harvest in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Danielson, Rachel E.
Abstract:: Forest harvest persists as one of the most globally important industries, and crucially provides raw wood products for both building and fuel materials. Mechanistically complex abiotic and biotic processes curb ecosystem recovery following timber harvest and it is of great importance to understand the effects of this practice on biogeochemical...

Towards a national map of soil liquefaction susceptibility : modeling with heuristic and geotechnical methods

Creator:: Lindsley, Adam E.
Abstract:: This study investigates the use of predictive mapping techniques as well as geotechnical criteria in developing a multiregional soil liquefaction model and subsequent maps. The maps were produced using National Cooperative Soil Survey data, in the gSSURGO format, combined with soil liquefaction data gathered from studies, articles, and traditional seismic...

Genetic variability for kernel hardness in two soft winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivators

Creator:: Albahouh, Muhammed S.
Abstract:: To remain competitive in the international marketplace, soft white wheat cultivars grown in the Pacific Northwest must have consistent and predictable flour properties including kernel texture. As a consequence, there is a need to develop wheat cultivars for specific end uses. Wheat cultivars with very soft kernels are used largely...

Nature of the inheritance of gluten strength and carotenoid pigment content in winter by spring and durum wheat crosses (Triticum turgidum L. Var. durum)

Creator:: Ammar, Karim
Abstract:: Durum wheat cultivars for North-Eastern Oregon have to be competitive in terms of their yield potential with soft white winter wheat cultivars and meet strict quality requirements of the milling industry. Combining the high yield potential of fall planted durum wheat cultivars which have an acceptable level of winter hardiness...

Cover crop effect on soil microbial biomass after fumigation in potato fields in the Columbia Basin

Creator:: Kim, Esther
Abstract:: In the Columbia Basin, pre-plant soil fumigation is commonly used in potato production for pest control, but fumigation can kill non-target organisms within the soil, result in unintended shifts in the microbial community, and disrupt long-term soil health. Cover crops have been shown to strongly influence the numbers and communities...

Frequency, Distribution, Ploidy Diversity and Control Options of Herbicide Resistant Italian Ryegrass (Lolium perenne L. spp. multiflorum (Lam.) Husnot) Populations in Western Oregon

Creator:: Bobadilla, Lucas K.
Abstract:: Italian ryegrass (Lolium perenne L. spp. multiflorum (Lam.) Husnot) is one of the most troublesome weeds with respect to herbicide resistance selection. Some reasons for this are the numerous documented cases of multiple and cross herbicide resistance and some of the biological characteristics of this species, such as wind cross-pollination...

Homogenization of Detrital Leachate in an Old-Growth Coniferous Forest, OR : DOC Fluorescence Signatures in Soils Undergoing Long-Term Litter Manipulations

Creator:: Strid, April R.
Abstract:: Soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a small but crucial part of the forest carbon cycle. Characterizing the relationship between detrital inputs and soil DOC chemistry is crucial to understanding the ultimate fate of root carbon, fallen wood and needles. Chemical differences in the DOC pool may help to explain...

Contributions of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea to nitrification in forest soils

Creator:: Lu, Xinda
Abstract:: Prior to 2005, ammonia oxidation, the first step of nitrification, was thought mediated mainly by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). However, the discovery of Thaumarchaeota carrying the genes coding for the ammonia monooxygenase (AMO) enzyme led to the discovery that ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) also contribute to nitrification. Despite the uptick in studies...

Sea-Salt Impacts On Nutrient Cycling In Oregon Coastal Soils

Creator:: Aleman, Ruben
Abstract:: Sea-salt aerosols (SSA) impact the cycling of nutrients within coastal soils, including the mobility of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and ammonium, denitrification, and litter decomposition. These aerosols are formed during tumultuous weather in the open ocean and are transported and deposited inland by wind. Soils closer to the ocean are...

Symbiotic characteristics of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii recovered from nodules of field-grown Trifolium subterraneum L.

Creator:: Wanjagi, Francis Ndung'u
Abstract:: In a series of greenhouse experiments, isolates representing serotypically distinct subpopulations of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii recovered from root nodules of field-grown subclover Trifolium subterraneum cv. "Nangeela"), were evaluated for their symbiotic effectiveness potential, their effect on regrowth potential of subclover, and for their competitive abilities to form nodules. Isolates...
