  • White-breasted nuthatch density and nesting ecology in oak woodlands of the Willamette Valley, Oregon

    Creator:
    Viste-Sparkman, Karen
    Abstract:
    Habitat loss causes a reduction in available resources for wildlife, alters the configuration of remaining habitat, and may isolate wildlife populations. White-breasted nuthatches (Sitta carolinensis) are experiencing long-term population declines in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where they are historically associated with oak woodlands. As secondary cavity-nesters, white-breasted nuthatches may...

  • Subsistence variability in the Willamette Valley

    Creator:
    Havercroft, Francine M.
    Abstract:
    During the summer of 1981, Oregon State University archaeologically tested three prehistoric sites on the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge. Among the sites tested were typical Willamette Valley floodplain and adjacent upland sites. Most settlement-subsistence pattern models proposed for the Willamette Valley have been generated with data from the...

  • Historical Change and the Hydrogeomorphic Context of Present-day Floodplain Forests in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

    Creator:
    Bervid, Heather D.
    Abstract:
    Floodplain forests play many important roles in the fluvial processes and environments of large alluvial rivers, including acting as geomorphological influences and habitat for native fish during high flows. Many large, gravel-bed river systems have undergone substantial change in recent centuries, resulting in loss of forested area to agriculture, reduction...

  • Diagnosis and Etiology of a Soilborne Disease Complex of Winter Squash (Cucurbita maxima) in the Willamette Valley, OR

    Creator:
    Rivedal, Hannah M.
    Abstract:
    Winter squash (Cucurbita maxima) grown in Oregon’s Willamette Valley for edible seed, frozen foods, and fresh markets is susceptible to an undiagnosed soilborne disease. Diseased squash fields exhibit symptoms of stunting, root and crown rot, vascular discoloration, and late-season wilt, which in extreme cases can lead to total crop failure....
