Effects of wildfire burn severity on soil microbial communitiesand invasive plant species in the Cascade Range of Oregon

Creator:

Hebel, Cassie L.

Abstract:

Fire suppression in the last several decades has resulted in unprecedented accumulations of organic matter on the landscape, leading to an increase in large, intense wildfires. This study investigated the soil microbial community (using phospholipid fatty acid analysis) across recently burned forests on the eastern slope of the Cascade Range...

Evaluating the effectiveness of commonly used herbaceous weed control regimes in a Pacific Northwest conifer plantation

Creator:

Dinger, Eric

Abstract:

Early in the establishment of Pacific Northwest conifer plantations, herbaceous weeds often decrease seedling growth through competition for soil moisture during the dry summer months. Critical period studies have reported that reductions in competitive weed cover are necessary during the initial years of establishment to avoid reductions in seedling growth....
