The Impact of Overlapping Forest Disturbance Across a Stream Network in Western Oregon: Harvesting, Wildfire and Post-Fire Management Effects on Stream Water Nitrate and Riparian Soil Nutrients

Creator:: McCredie, Katherine E.
Abstract:: Understanding the magnitude and longevity of wildfire effects in forested watersheds and subsequent impacts to downstream aquatic ecosystems and communities requires congruent investigation into post-fire aquatic and terrestrial processes. However, results from wildfire studies are often confounded by pre- and post-fire land management actions and based on either hydrologic or...

Equity in Community Forestry in the Western US

Creator:: McCaskill, Lauren S.
Abstract:: Community forestry is a decentralized form of forest governance that is widely promoted around the world. In the United States, community forestry is growing as a form of forest management, and exists across a range of ownership and governance models, all with different levels of community participation and access to...

Equity in Resilience: Wildfire in the Rogue River Basin

Creator:: Sloan, Emma E.
Abstract:: Forced removal of Indigenous communities and subsequent colonial forest management have led to landscape homogenization, fuel abundance, conifer encroachment, and, therefore, a loss of forest and fire resilience in the Western US. This loss of forest and fire resilience leads to a loss of social resilience as forested communities struggle...

Karuk Stewardship of Xánthiip (black oak, Quercus kelloggii) in the Western Klamath Mountains: Development of an Ecocultural Monitoring Protocol

Creator:: Thoreson, Jessie
Abstract:: My thesis is an exploration of xánthiip (Karuk for black oak, Quercus kelloggii) restoration within the Karuk Tribe’s Ancestral Territory in present-day northwestern California. Black oak is a cultural keystone species for the Karuk and has been chosen as one of the species to guide Tribally led forest restoration work...

Projecting White Pine Blister Rust Hazard Ratings Under Climate Change in Southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Cicekli, Zeynep
Abstract:: Sugar pine and western white pine are widely distributed, economically valuable, and ecologically important native tree species in North America. However, white pine blister rust (WPBR), caused by a non-native fungal pathogen, Cronartium ribicola J.C. Fisch. in Rabh., has substantially affected populations of these species. Cronartium is an obligate parasite,...

Children and Youth's Outdoor Play and Emotional Wellbeing During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Creator:: Gorrell, Lydia
Abstract:: Long-standing research has highlighted the critical role of physical and outdoor activities for children’s health and wellbeing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, children and youth around the world experienced heightened stress and poor mental health, which coincided with a decrease in active play and increase in screen-based activities. This work aims...

Assessing Post-fire Tree and Understory Vegetation Response to a Mixed-severity Fire Gradient in the Klamath Mts., Oregon, USA

Creator:: Terzioglu, Cihat
Abstract:: Severe wildfires are increasing in the western United States, impacting vegetation structure, and in turn, forest regeneration conditions. These wildfires are also raising a substantial amount of scientific and management concern regarding the resilience of forested ecosystems, or the ability of the ecosystem to return to a pre-fire condition. This...

Overexpression of the GROWTH REGULATING FACTOR 4-GRF-INTERACTING FACTOR 1 Transcription Factor Chimera Modifies Transformation and Regeneration Efficiency in Populus and Eucalyptus

Creator:: Ryan, Nathaniel W.
Abstract:: Transformation is a major bottleneck for genetic engineering and gene editing in forest tree species. This includes most genotypes of Populus and Eucalyptus, which are some of the world’s most widely-cultivated genera of plantation forest trees. To provide new tools for transformation, I tested the transcription factor-protein chimera consisting of...

Using Cognitive Appraisal Theory and the Means-Ends Approach to Explore Relationships Among Perceived Tourism Impacts, Livelihoods, Quality of Life, and Residents’ Support for Tourism

Creator:: Parada Torres, Javier A.
Abstract:: Understanding residents’ perceptions of and support for tourism is essential for sustainable tourism development and management. Research has shown that perceptions of tourism impacts are related to residents’ support for tourism. It is generally accepted that perceived tourism impacts predict support for tourism, as explained by social exchange theory. However,...

The Interaction of Fire Refugia and Climate Refugia: A Case Study within California’s Diablo Mountain Range

Creator:: Turk, Douglas E.
Abstract:: As climate change contributes to larger and more severe wildfires in California, areas of fire refugia – considered unburned and low-severity burn patches – are playing an increasingly important role in sustaining ecosystem resilience, maintaining biodiversity, and supporting post-disturbance recovery. At the same time, climate refugia – which are areas...
