Creator:: Janisch, Jack E.
Abstract:: As concern over global warming intensifies, sequestration and storage of atmospheric CO2 has become an important scientific and policy issue. Confusion persists, however, over interpretation of forest carbon (C) source-sink dynamics, in part because conclusions drawn depend on temporal and spatial scales of analysis (e.g. day-week scale vs. successional-scale), type...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Snyder, Kai U.
Abstract:: This study examined debris flows occurring in a 125 km² study area in the Blue River watershed in the western Cascade Mountains of Oregon over a 50-year period. Debris flow occurrence was found to be concentrated in a distinct zone of high activity occupying approximately half of the study area,...

Creator:: Lefevre, Charles K.
Abstract:: Beginning in the 1980s, large-scale commercial harvest of Tricholoma magnivelare created a need for management of forests to ensure sustainability, but little was known of the biology or ecology of this species to guide management decisions. Four of the five studies presented here explore the basic synecology of T. magnivelare...

Creator:: Kramer, Marc G.
Abstract:: Maritime cyclonic windstorms cause widespread disturbance to forested ecosystems in southeast Alaska. The consequence of this disturbance process on the movement, storage, and quality of soil carbon, forest hydrology and streamwater chemistry was studied along a windthrow disturbance sequence. Soil profiles were described and the thickness of the major organic...

Creator:: Vanderbilt, Kristin Lynn, 1967-
Abstract:: Seasonal and annual patterns of N fluxes and concentrations in streamwater in six conifer-dominated watersheds at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, OR, were studied to gain insight into the factors that influence N retention in this ecosystem. Processes affecting N flux in streamwater differed between organic (DON) and inorganic (DIN;...

Creator:: Dunham, Susie M.
Abstract:: Balancing resource extraction with protection of Pacific Northwest forest ecosystems requires understanding the population biology of ectomycorrhizal fungi. Design of landscape-scale management and research strategies requires understanding genet size, habitat requirements, and dispersal capabilities. The purpose of this dissertation was to gain knowledge about the distribution of genetic variation, systematics,...

Creator:: Yi, Hoonbok
Abstract:: The process of silvicultural thinning has become very controversial recently with regards to fire protection and management for old-growth conditions and biodiversity. Therefore, an unthinned control stand and 3 different thinning intensities were examined for their effects on the abundance, species richness, and diversity of arthropods in thinning treatments of...

Creator:: Giachini, Admir J.
Abstract:: The nomenclatural history of Gomphus sensu lato began with Persoon in 1797. Over 200 years species of Gomphus sensu lato have been variously classified also under Cantharellus, Craterellus, Chloroneuron, Chlorophyllum, Gloeocantharellus, Nevrophyllum, and Turbinellus. Species of Gomphus sensu lato have been historically characterized as having aboveground fruiting, fleshy basidiomata with...
