Buzzing Bolbomyiidae and Air Temperature Monitoring Methods: Investigating Long-Term Ecological Data from the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:: Schmidt, Stephanie A.
Abstract:: The short-term duration of most ecological studies can make it difficult to capture the long-term dynamics of ecosystems and populations. Infrequent or high-impact events can be missed, or erroneously documented as baselines. Long-term ecological research enables a deeper understanding of complex processes, provides a foundation for future insights, and can...

Climate-based Seed Deployment Zones for the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: McClure, Meridith L.
Abstract:: Native populations of forest trees are specifically adapted to the climates they inhabit. The farther trees are moved from their local climates (i.e., as the climatic transfer distance increases), the more growth and survival tend to decrease. The transfer limit is the climatic transfer distance beyond which plantation performance is...

Simulated response of ecosystem processes to climate change in northern California and western Nevada

Creator:: McGlinchy, Maureen C.
Abstract:: In order to investigate potential climate impacts on landscape-scale ecosystem processes, I implemented a dynamic general vegetation model (DGVM) over a large domain in northern California and western Nevada on a rectangular grid of ca. 800-meter spatial resolution. I used 100 years of observed, monthly climate and nine future climate...

Assessment of the vulnerability of Oregon and Washington's natural areas to climate change

Creator:: Margaret, Massie H.
Abstract:: There are currently more than 580 natural areas in Oregon and Washington managed by 20 federal, state, local, and private agencies and organizations. The natural areas network is unparalleled in its representation of diverse ecosystems found in the region and may be an excellent collection of sites for monitoring long-term...

Canopy microclimates and epiphytes : Examining dynamic patterns and influences

Creator:: Heffernan, Elise
Abstract:: Old-growth forests are structurally complex in both vertical and horizontal dimensions. This complexity arises from biological characteristics, typically branch and leaf structure, but also includes epiphytes with varying form and function. I characterized the biomass and species composition of epiphytes along the vertical axis of an old-growth Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)...

Explore Oregon Forests : A Web-Based Educational Tool for Connecting Forestry and Tourism

Creator:: Gleason, Daniel A.
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on the creation of a new collaborative website to connect key forestry topics to tourists and forest recreationists. It is divided into two main sections; the first explains the purpose and methods for creation of a new web-based educational tool called Explore Oregon Forests. Created through a...

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,...

Dead fuels and understory vegetation six years after a large mixed-severity wildfire in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Nathanson, Amy
Abstract:: Though the mixed-evergreen forests of the Klamath Siskiyous have a long history of large, mixed-severity fires, most research in this region has concentrated on the impacts of high-severity fire. Knowledge of the ecological effects of low- and moderate-severity areas within mixed-severity fires is important because such areas may account for...

The Effect of Canopy Cover and Wildfire Smoke on Near-Surface Temperatures

Creator:: Brackett, Amanda
Abstract:: Recent shifts from clearcutting to partial retention harvesting on many ownerships and the importance of microclimate dynamics on biotic responses to regional climate highlight the need to understand how microclimate conditions in forest understories differ across gradients of partial overstories. This study compares below-canopy near-surface temperatures at 2cm above ground...

Identifying site characteristics that explain variation in Douglas-fir site productivity and stem form

Creator:: Magalska, Lauren E.
Abstract:: Foresters care about site productivity and stem quality in Douglas-fir plantations for many reasons. The profitability of forest land and the economic returns on silvicultural investments are directly related to site productivity. Thus, understanding the relationships among Douglas-fir productivity, stem form and site characteristics is important economically. My objective was...
