Evaluating the Effects of Traditional Harvest and Climate on Common Camas (Camassia quamash) in Weippe Prairie, Idaho

Creator:: Stucki, Devin S.
Abstract:: Common camas (Camassia quamash) is a culturally important wetland plant, used as a staple food source by many indigenous peoples of western North America for thousands of years. Camas populations were once widespread, but conversion of wetland prairies to agriculture has led to declines in suitable habitat. Edible camas bulbs...

Competition release and climate change effects on a moisture-demanding tree species in a dry system

Creator:: Seager, S. Trent
Abstract:: Climate change and the increase in meteorological drought have generated global concern over the persistence of ecosystems already in decline from decreased moisture. Evidence suggests dryland ecosystems have been more impacted by drought because of their tightly coupled growth-water relationships and high sensitivity to environmental shift. Removal of competing vegetation...

Disturbance and dynamics of riparian forests in southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Messier, Michael S.
Abstract:: Fire exclusion has 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. For this study, I characterized the historic disturbance and tree recruitment...

A Systematic Review of Diversity and Inclusion Scholarly Sources in Natural Resources (1919 – 2018)

Creator:: Brown, Jasmine K. and Rempel, Hannah G.
Abstract:: This dataset was created for the purpose of collecting and cataloguing sources that mentioned aspects of cultural diversity or workforce diversity within natural resource professions. The exploratory questions that prompted the collection of sources in this dataset were: - Is diversity discussed in scholarly sources within natural resources? - If...

Plants and their Environment: Assessing Canopy Microclimate and the Response of Trees to Environmental Stress in a Diversity of Forest Types

Creator:: Sibley, Adam M.
Abstract:: The topics in this dissertation are centered around the way that trees respond to environmental stress in the climates where they occur. Though forests across the planet are expected to experience change in local climate due to historic and ongoing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, the effects of climate change will...

Adapting to Climate Change on Western Public Lands: Addressing the Ecological Effects of Domestic, Wild, and Feral Ungulates

Creator:: Beschta, Robert L., Donahue, Deborah L., DellaSala, Dominick A., Rhodes, Jonathan J., Karr, James R., O'Brien, Mary H., Fleischner, Thomas L., and Deacon-Williams, Cindy
Abstract:: Climate change affects public land ecosystems and services throughout the American West and these effects are projected to intensify. Even if greenhouse gas emissions are reduced, adaptation strategies for public lands are needed to reduce anthropogenic stressors of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and to help native species and ecosystems survive...

Constraints to urban park visitation : Conceptual connections and spatial attributes for traditionally well-served and underserved residents

Creator:: Rushing, Jaclyn R.
Abstract:: Connecting with nature is associated with social, physical, and emotional benefits such as stress relief, improved physical health, and lower crime. Parks and other natural areas offer spaces in which to connect with nature and reap these and other benefits (e.g., family bonding, social events, learning). Despite increasing populations of...

Tradeoffs and Synergies among Wild Ungulates, Early Successional Plant Communities and Management Intensification in Forest Plantations of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Stokely, Thomas D.
Abstract:: As the global demand for natural resources increases, more land will be intensively managed for the production of commodities such as timber, with potential consequences to biodiversity, ecological functioning and ecosystem services provided to society. Although there is strong consensus that intensive land management practices can negatively affect biodiversity, less...

Management, Morphological, and Environmental Factors Influencing Douglas-Fir Bark Furrows in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Sheridan, Christopher D., Puettmann, Klaus J., Huso, Manuela M.P., Hagar, Joan C., and Falk, Kristen R.
Abstract:: Many land managers in the Pacific Northwest have the goal of increasing late-successional forest structures. Despite the documented importance of Douglas-fir tree bark structure in forested ecosystems, little is known about factors influencing bark development and how foresters can manage development. This study investigated the relative importance of tree size,...

Assisted Migration in the Colorado Subalpine Forest

Creator:: Najim, Tara
Abstract:: This capstone study reports on global warming-induced changes to the Colorado subalpine zone climate and disturbance regimes. It assesses the impacts of these changes upon the dominant subalpine tree species and summarizes future species distribution modeling for these and other nearby species potentially suitable for the future subalpine zone in...
