Creator:: Root, Heather T.
Abstract:: I focus on addressing knowledge gaps relating to management of cryptogams in Oregon's public lands in Pseudotsuga menziesii-Tsuga heterophylla forests on the west side of the Cascade Range and dryland steppe in the Cascade Range's rainshadow. While a great deal of research has illustrated the importance of late-successional forests for...

Creator:: Hutten, Martin
Abstract:: This dissertation describes patterns in epiphytic macrolichen community composition along a nitrogen deposition gradient in the Yosemite region of the Sierra Nevada in California. This region is part of the largest federal air quality Class 1 designated air-shed in the western United States, covering the entire crest of the Sierra...

Creator:: Sillett, Stephen Charles
Abstract:: This thesis includes four separate studies. The first two studies assessed edge effects in a 700-year-old forest. After 20 years of exposure, epiphyte assemblages on the clearcut edge were similar to those of the forest interior, but there were some differences in vertical distribution patterns. Several species restricted to the...

Creator:: Jovan, Sarah
Abstract:: The unifying purpose of this dissertation was to describe, model, and map relationships between epiphvtic macrolichen communities and air quality in Ibrests of northern and central California. First, multivariate analyses were used to subdivide the large study area into three model areas with similar climate, topography, and lichen communities: the...

Creator:: Lintz, Heather E.
Abstract:: Species' distributions across the landscape are perhaps the least understood yet most conspicuous features of life on earth. Ecologists have long studied species' distributions; yet, many questions remain about why species occur where they do. Such questions persist largely because species' distributions are complex systems with challenging properties like non-linearity,...

Creator:: Rosso, Abbey L.
Abstract:: This dissertation describes the epiphyte communities on tall shrubs in forests of western Oregon, with a focus on potential effects of management practices on these communities. Shrubs and other hardwoods have recently gained recognition as hotspots of diversity for epiphytes in young conifer forests of the region. Yet little is...
