Study of some biological and nutritional factors that influence nodulation by Frankia on red alder (Alnus rubra) and snowbrush (Ceanothus velutinus) within three age-class Douglas-fir forests in H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon

Creator:: Rojas-Melo, Nestor S.
Abstract:: Bioassays using red alder and snowbrush plants grown in soils collected from a clearcut, a young Douglas-fir plantation, and an old-growth stand were conducted. Sites are located at the Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon. In the first bioassays, more alder than snowbrush plants survived and nodulated. Of the plants that survived,...

Spatial and temporal population dynamics of Cantharellus formosus, the Pacific Golden chanterelle, in Oregon

Creator:: Collins, Kelly Patrice
Abstract:: This dissertation was undertaken to improve the understanding of the population dynamics of the Pacific Golden chanterelle, Cantharellus formosus. It addresses the longevity of individuals over a 12 year period and the limits of gene flow within the area of a 6,400 hectare watershed at the H.J. Andrews Long Term...

Stand development after 20-years of growth in Douglas-fir and red alder mixtures

Creator:: Garrelts, Brennan T.
Abstract:: This study examines the long-term role of interference on stand development of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) and red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) planted mixtures in the Central Cascades of Oregon, USA. The two species are common associates in naturally regenerated and planted conifer stands in the Pacific Northwest. Due...

Modeling slope stability uncertainty : a case study at the Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:: Murillo, Michelle L.
Abstract:: A simple debris-slide model, employing a digital elevation model (DEM) and geological data, was used in a geographic information system (GIS) to map slope stability in the Andrews Experimental Forest, located in the western Cascade Range in Oregon, USA. To evaluate the contribution of error in elevation to the uncertainty...

Patterns of nitrogen fluxes in watersheds of the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, OR

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;...

Isotopic composition of respired CO2 in a small watershed : development and testing of an automated sampling system and analysis of first year data

Creator:: Hauck, Mark J.
Abstract:: Warming of the terrestrial biosphere due to the anthropogenic addition of carbon dioxide to the earth’s atmosphere is becoming a major focus of scientific inquiry. Predictions of the extent of this warming are hampered by uncertainty in the ability of the earth’s ecosystems to counteract this effect by sequestering carbon...

Nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics during decomposition of multiple litter types in temperate coniferous forests

Creator:: van Huysen, Tiffany L.
Abstract:: Litter nutrient dynamics contribute significantly to biogeochemical cycling in forest ecosystems. These dynamics may be influenced by site attributes, litter nutrient concentrations, and soil nutrient availability either independently or synergistically. Litter nutrient dynamics were examined in two decomposition studies in temperate coniferous forests of Oregon. I used ¹⁵N-labelled litter of...

Development of two coniferous stands impacted by multiple, partial fires in the Oregon Cascades : establishment history and the spatial patterns of colonizing tree species relative to old-growth remnant trees

Creator:: Goslin, Matthew N.
Abstract:: Trees that survive disturbances can form a prominent legacy which may influence post-disturbance successional pathways. The effects of biological legacies on community dynamics is a critical question in ecology. In the present study, I examined two mapped stands in which old-growth remnant trees, survivors of partial fires, emerge above a...

Biologic activity in two western Oregon Douglas-fir stands : a research link to management

Creator:: Hope, Sharon Margaret
Abstract:: Information about forest substrate respiration, nitrogenase activity and mineralizable nitrogen may be incorporated into carbon and nitrogen budgets that comprise an important element of forest management planning. In this study, substrate respiration, nitrogenase activity and mineralizable nitrogen were measured in two western Oregon Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] stands within...
