  • Exploring Alternative Approaches for Native Plant Production and Ecological Restoration in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Placido, Wilman M.
    Abstract:
    Global recognition of the need for ecosystem restoration and revegetation following natural and anthropogenic disturbances has been growing in recent years. Successful programs often depend on the use of nursery-grown seedlings and appropriate mitigation of limiting factors on outplanting sites. Nursery production of high-quality native plants for restoration can be...

  • Environmental Stressors Influence Fabaceae Seedling Development

    Creator:
    Gerber, Kaitlin A.
    Abstract:
    Sites in need of restoration typically have one or more environmental factors that limit seedling establishment; identifying ecophysiological responses to environmental stressors can be advantageous in growing seedlings able to overcome such constraints on survival. To maximize survival after outplanting, seedlings should be grown in a manner that considers both...

  • Influence of Limited Water Access on Douglas-fir Seedling Root Systems, Physiology, and Growth

    Creator:
    Sheridan, Rebecca A.
    Abstract:
    Nursery-grown seedlings are critical for attaining reforestation and restoration success in many ecosystems, including mixed-conifer forests in the Northwest, which is the native range for Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Seedling establishment after planting depends on coordinated responses in seedling growth, physiology, and hydraulic function. The chapters in this dissertation review growth...

  • Determining the Influence of Nutrition and Temperature on the Growth and Development of Camassia spp.

    Creator:
    Davis, Matthew C.
    Abstract:
    As a key historic component of prairies in the Pacific Northwest, Camassia spp. should play a role in the restoration of these ecosystems. To do so effectively, further study of Camassia spp. propagation is warranted. Thus, the growth, N uptake and allocation, and seasonal thermoperiodicity of Camassia spp. was examined....
