Forecasting functional implications of global changes in riparian plant communities

Creator:: Kominoski, John S., Follstad Shah, Jennifer J., Canhoto, Cristina, Fischer, Dylan G., Giling, Darren P., Gonzalez, Eduardo, Griffiths, Natalie A., Larranaga, Aitor, LeRoy, Carri J., Mineau, Madeleine M., McElarney, Yvonne R., Shirley, Susan M., Swan, Christopher M., and Tiegs, Scott D.
Abstract:: Riparian ecosystems support mosaics of terrestrial and aquatic plant species that enhance regional biodiversity and provide important ecosystem services to humans. Species composition and the distribution of functional traits - traits that define species in terms of their ecological roles - within riparian plant communities are rapidly changing in response...

Calculating CO2 and H2O eddy covariance fluxes from an enclosed gas analyzer using an instantaneous mixing ratio

Creator:: Burba, George, Schmidt, Andres, Scott, Russell L., Nakai, Taro, Kathilankal, James, Fratini, Gerardo, Hanson, Chad, Law, Beverly, McDermitt, Dayle K., Eckles, Robert, Furtaw, Michael, and Velgersdyk, Michael
Abstract:: Eddy covariance flux research has relied on open- or closed-path gas analyzers for producing estimates of net ecosystem exchange of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water vapor (H₂O). The two instruments have had different challenges that have led to development of an enclosed design that is intended to maximize strengths and...

Using a species-centered approach to examine patterns and drivers of avian species richness in the Rogue Basin, Oregon, A 'bird's eye view' : using a species-centered approach to examine patterns and drivers of avian species richness in the Rogue Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Halstead, Katherine E.
Abstract:: The combined effects of habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation pose a serious threat to Earth's biodiversity, imperiling even relatively common species. 'Habitat' is necessarily a species-specific concept, and investigations of bird diversity relationships and subsequent efforts to prioritize conservation areas, are challenged by the difficulty of estimating complex habitat gradients...

Sex-biased dispersal in a rare butterfly and the implications for its conservation

Creator:: Bennett, Victoria J., Pack, Shalynn M., Smith, Winston P., and Betts, Matthew G.
Abstract:: The survival of many species may be dependent on their ability to exist in human-altered landscapes within metapopulations; in turn, metapopulation persistence is dictated by the ability of individuals to move effectively among patches to promote recolonization. The Taylor’s checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas editha taylori) is a species that does not...

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...

Functional decreases in hydraulic and mechanical properties of field-grown transgenic poplar trees caused by modification of the lignin synthesis pathway through downregulation of the 4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase gene

Creator:: Voelker, Steven L.
Abstract:: Society uses massive quantities of wood fiber in production of paper, and demand for fiber is projected to increase further as production of biofuels from fermentation of plant cellulosic materials increases. Because these end uses generally require the costly step of removing of lignin, wood with reduced or more easily...

Are Bird Habitat Associations Consistent Across Space and Time?

Creator:: Rousseau, Josée S.
Abstract:: The concept of the fundamental niche is frequently used in ecology to define the set of environmental conditions needed by a species to survive and reproduce (Hutchinson 1957). In contrast, the realized niche constitutes the locations where a species actually occurred, which is a function of both the environmental (abiotic)...

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...

Evaluating the impacts of a classroom-based citizen science project on nature connectedness, science identity, and knowledge of curricular material

Creator:: Williams, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Environmental education programs seek to foster an appreciation for the natural world while introducing students to scientific thinking. Citizen science engages non-scientists in the systematic collection and analysis of data. The Betts Forest Landscape Ecology Lab combines both goals by inviting teachers in Corvallis, Oregon, and surrounding areas to participate...

Identifying factors driving sensitivity to fragmentation in forest breeding songbirds

Creator:: Valente, Jonathon J.
Abstract:: Habitat loss and fragmentation are the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Fragmentation impacts landscape configuration, resulting in a larger number of patches that are smaller in size and further apart from one another. Island biogeography and metapopulation theory predict populations in these remnant patches should be smaller, have higher extinction...
