The population dynamics and growth of salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) and thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus)

Creator:: Maxwell, Bruce D.
Abstract:: Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) and thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus) are clonal shrub species common to reforestation sites in the Oregon Coast Range. These species have economic importance, because they reduce conifer seedling growth and survival. A population modeling approach was used to facilitate study of the biology of these species and to...

Population dynamics of three early seral herb species in Pacific Northwest forests

Creator:: Hanson, D. Eric
Abstract:: I investigated the population dynamics of fireweed (Epilobium angustfolium), foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) , and woodland groundsel (Senecio sylvaticus) to understand their colonization, persistence, and extirpation in Pacific Northwest Douglas-fir forests. Factors affecting the species' frequency and abundance in forest communities were evaluated. Their population dynamics were modeled and field experiments...

Agroforestry farming in American Samoa : a classification and assessment

Creator:: Tuitele-Lewis, Jeannette D.
Abstract:: Agroforestry is a traditional farming practice in American Samoa that has helped to sustain the livelihood of the native population for centuries. These once self-sufficient islands have become economically dependent on U.S monies and other external resources during the past century. Dependency has caused a shift in the carrying capacity...

Competitive interactions between Douglas-fir and red alder seedlings : growth analysis, resource use, and physiology

Creator:: Shainsky, Lauri J.
Abstract:: Competitive interactions between Douglas-fir seedlings (Pseudotsuga menziesii), and seedlings of a nitrogen-fixing hardwood associate, red alder (Alnus rubra), were investigated in an addition series experiment. The primary objective of the research was to identify and quantify key processes underlying intra- and interspecific competitive interactions of Douglas-fir and red alder seedlings....

Juniper utilization : issues of chemistry and management

Creator:: Swartley, D. Benjamin
Abstract:: Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) poses both a challenge and an opportunity for natural resource management in the rangelands of the northern Great Basin. The continued expansion of western juniper on the rangelands of the interior Northwest will likely continue as there are currently no practical options for returning this area...

Database development and application to characterize juvenile Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb] and understory vegetation in the Oregon and Washington Coast Range Mountains

Creator:: Shula, Robert G.
Abstract:: The Regional Vegetation Management Model (RVMM) predicts the effects of associated vegetation on the growth and yield of young Douglas-fir (age [less than or equal to] 20 years) in the Pacific Northwest, and is a 'front-end' growth model for existing rotation-age growth models. Objectives of this thesis are to: (a)...

Life-history and physiological trade-offs to reproduction of invasive and noninvasive Rubus

Creator:: McDowell, Susan C.
Abstract:: The goal of this dissertation was to improve our understanding of the physiology and life-history of invasive plants and of the mechanisms underlying life-history trade-offs. I compared invasive and noninvasive species of Rubus (blackberry) that grow together in the Pacific Northwest. Three hypotheses were investigated: (1) Invasive Rubus have higher...

The biology and ecology of Potentilla recta in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Tuitele-Lewis, Jamison
Abstract:: Two experiments were conducted on the invasive plant species Potentilla recta in northeastern Oregon to investigate both biological and ecological characteristics of the species. Growth analysis was conducted on the plant at three sites over a period of two years (2002 and 2003). Relative growth rate (RGR) was calculated for...
