Creator:: Kramer, Susanne
Abstract:: Whole tree excavation of 41 western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis Hook.), ranging in age from 2 to 34 years old, was used to assess the development and structure of root systems, to determine biomass allocation patterns, and to develop mathematical relationships for estimating biomass and root system dimensions in seedling and...

Creator:: Miller, Patricia M.
Abstract:: Patterns and costs of root/shoot allocations, response to reductions of above and below-ground tissue and to fertilization with nitrate and ammonium, and seasonal courses of physiological processes were measured on juvenile, small-adult, and large-adult Juniperus occidentalis growing in the field under ambient environmental conditions in eastern Oregon. Adult foliage had...

Creator:: Vaitkus, Milda R.
Abstract:: Evidence suggests that western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) in Central Oregon affects understory production and composition. As trees increase in size and density, understory production is reduced and composition changes. This study was designed to identify the relationship between production and composition of understory vegetation and various tree canopy sizes of...

Full Text:: Effect of western juniper on understory herbage production

Creator:: Ramsey, Katherine J.
Abstract:: Paired 30-day trials were conducted to evaluate Agropyron spicatum germination when treated with two concentrations of throughfall leachates from western juniper slash in two stages of decomposition. Data from a second pair of 49-day greenhouse trials were analyzed to evaluate emergence and growth of Aqropyron spicatum, Oryzopsis hymenoides, and Poa...

Creator:: Rose, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: This research assessed the effect of western juniper (Junlperus occldentalls) removal on understory plant production and cover and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) growth and plant water status. A complete randomized block design, with four blocks and four treatments was established in the summer of 1984 near Prineville, Oregon. The four...
