Creator:: Hooke, Jennifer Suzanne
Abstract:: The Normalized Burn Ratio and Composite Burn Index were used to classify burn severity in three sites that experienced lightning-ignited wildfire in the year 2000. The effect of burn severity (unburned, low, moderate, and high severity classes) was investigated on vegetation and soil microbial community composition. Vegetation communities showed a...

Creator:: Matson, P. A. (Pamela A.)
Abstract:: Mountain hemlock forests in the Oregon Cascades exhibit wave-form dieback resulting from infection by laminated root rot (Phellinus weirii). Although Phellinus remains viable in dead roots after the wave of dieback passes, many regenerating mountain hemlock forests do not become immediately reinfected. We measured at least a doubling of nitrogen...

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...

Creator:: Savage, Thomas J.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to determine how the balance of carbon to nitrogen in a grand fir ecosystem affects the chemistry of emerging grand fir foliage and the growth of western spruce budworm larvae. Forest plots in the grand fir zone of eastern Oregon were thinned, thinned and...
