The effect of grazing interval on forage quality and production of meadow foxtail

Creator:: Wenick, Jess J.
Abstract:: For the last fifty years, meadow foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis L.) has been invading native flood meadows throughout the Harney Basin in southeastern Oregon. The expansion of this grass species has been the result of its broad climatic requirements and ability to withstand drought while thriving in saturated soil conditions for...

Vegetation classification for the badger allotment, Mt. Hood National Forest

Creator:: Williams, Clinton K.
Abstract:: More than 200 sites between 500 and 2000 meters elevation were examined utilizing a reconnaissance sampling technique for a portion of the eastern slopes of the northern Oregon Cascade Mountains. Twelve different forested plant communities were described with data on vegetation, soils and topography. A map of their distribution and...

Quantification of vegetation diversity and variation on intact and degraded rangelands

Creator:: Dysart, Patricia L.
Abstract:: Vegetation diversity in the Wyoming big sagebrush/Thurber needlegrass (Artemisia tridentata Nutt. ssp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young/Achnatherum thurberianum (Piper) Barkworth. syn. Stipa thurberiana Piper) plant association was studied across a condition class gradient in southeastern Oregon. All observable vascular plant species were counted during 6 seasons and 2 years and diversity...

Heifer performance and drought and grazing effects on flood meadow vegetation

Creator:: Nixon, David Eugene, 1963-
Abstract:: Native flood meadows are important for hay production and winter feeding areas in many western states. With the introduction of meadow foxtail (A lopecurus pratensis L.) and other new species, the botanical composition of the meadows has been steadily changing. With shifting priorities occuring on public lands, these flood meadows,...

Soil and understory vegetation characteristics of a tractor-logged forest in eastern Oregon

Creator:: Snider, Michael Duane
Abstract:: A 1.5 ha mixed conifer stand in the Blue Mountains of Oregon was intensively examined to assess the impact of logging disturbance on soils and herbaceous vegetation. Sampling was conducted six years after much of the timber overstory was removed in a shelterwood cut and yarded by crawler tractor. A...

Use of livestock to improve the quality of elk winter range forage in northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Clark, Patrick Eugene
Abstract:: The effects of late spring defoliation on the winter forage quality of bluebunch wheatgrass (Agropyron spicatum [Pursh] Scribn. & Smith), Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis Elmer) and elk sedge (Carex geyeri Boott) and the response of wintering Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni Bailey) to changes in winter range forage quality...

Plant communities and habitat types of the Meadow Creek experimental watershed

Creator:: Ganskopp, David C. (David Conrad)
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were: 1) to identify and map the experimental area of Meadow Creek watershed by existing vegetation, and 2) to identify and map the experimental area of Meadow Creek watershed by habitat types. The classification system adopted for this study was based on the habitat type...

Infiltration, soil erosion, nitrogen loss and soil profile characteristics of Oregon lands occupied by three subspecies of Artemisia tridentata

Creator:: Swanson, Sherman R.
Abstract:: Infiltration, soil erosion, nitrogen loss and soil profile characteristics were measured on 36 sites representing land occupied by Artemisia tridentata ssp. tridentate, wyomingensis, and vaseyana. Infiltration, soil erosion, and nitrogen loss were strongly correlated but highly variable. Soil loss, but not infiltration or nitrogen loss was significantly different between subspecies....

Understory competition for resources in Pinus ponderosa forests of northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Riegel, Gregg M.
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to determine which environmental resources, light, water, and nutrients, control understory plant production and composition in a Pinus ponderosa forest in northeastern Oregon. A split-plot experimental design, with three blocks, four treatments, and 44 plots, was established in the summer of 1985. Twenty plots...
