  • Landscape Genomics and Climatic Responses of Willamette Valley Alders

    Creator:
    Kral, George L.
    Abstract:
    The climate of the Pacific Northwest is in flux, and existing forest ecosystems are stressed and poised to shift in fundamental ways, with or without human intervention. This dissertation probes the nature of forest responses to environmental change through investigations of morphology and genetics of three species of alder co-occurring...

    Creator:
    Berry, Pete A.
    Abstract:
    An important inoculum source of Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa (syn Plenodomus spp.), the pathogens that cause black leg in Brassicaceae crops, is infected plant residues. The general acceptance of conservation tillage in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA, has enabled a build-up in the amount of residue on or near...

  • 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....

  • 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...

  • 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...
