Creator:: Thetford, Frank Oren
Abstract:: A study was conducted over a two year period, 1973 through 1974, on perennial ryegrass-subclover pastures with stocking rates of 7.4 (moderate), 9. 9 (heavy), and 12.4 (overstocked) ewes per hectare to establish guidelines on stocking intensity for dryland improved pastures in western Oregon. Climatic conditions varied annually and caused...

Abstract:: Little is known about cactus nutrients, their proportions in different species and the variability of these proportions with season. In the scant literature available on Opuntia species, no systematic survey has been published to document and compare the nutritional qualities of different species. Also, no studies have been done to...

Creator:: Westenskow, Kathy Jo
Abstract:: Research was conducted near the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range in northeastern Oregon. Effects of defoliating bluebunch wheatgrass (Agropyron spicatum (Pursh) Scribn. and Smith) to increase the quality of regrowth available on elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) winter range were studied from 1988 through 1990. Clipping treatments were implemented to condition...

Creator:: Korpela, Edwin J.
Abstract:: Seasonal trends in forage production and environmental parameters for five plant community types within a northeastern Oregon riparian zone were described and modeled using correlation and path analysis. Wet meadows produced the greatest amount of herbage biomass, followed by moist bluegrass meadows, gravel bars, forests and dry bluegrass meadows. Trends...

Creator:: Bryant, Larry Duane
Abstract:: This research was conducted on three study areas on elk winter ranges in Northeast Oregon. One was on the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range and the others were in the same vicinity. Plant appendages, spring and fall defoliation and fall growth of bluebunch wheatgrass were evaluated in terms of quality...

Abstract:: The relationships between black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) and Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) herbivory and understory vegetation in unmanaged forests in Olympic National Park were studied from 1985 - 1989. From 1985 to 1986 I studied the impact of cervid exclusion on shrub, fern, and forb forage quality, tannin...
