Genetic Characterization and Bioclimatic Modeling of the Three Varieties of Leptographium wageneri (Cause of Black Stain Root Disease) in the Western USA

Creator:: Choi, Daram
Abstract:: Black stain root disease (BSRD) is a vascular wilt disease of conifers caused by three varieties of the native, insect-vectored fungal pathogen, Leptographium wageneri (L. wageneri var. wageneri, L. wageneri var. ponderosum, and L. wageneri var. pseudotsugae). Although morphological, physiological, and ecological characteristics differ among the three varieties of L....

Parasitoid wasps of Douglas-fir Needle Midge (Contarinia pseudotsugae Condrashoff,1961) larvae in two Christmas tree farms, Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Voyvot, Saliha
Abstract:: Douglas-fir needle midge (Contarinia pseudotsugae, Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) is a native invasive species in Pacific Northwest Christmas tree farms, seed orchards, and nurseries where Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) is present. Douglas-fir needle midge (DFNM) causes discoloration and galls on the needles, thereby it affects the market value of the Christmas...

Transformation of Western Hemlock Tree Crowns by Dwarf Mistletoe

Creator:: Calkins, Stephen J.
Abstract:: Hemlock dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium tsugense subsp. tsugense) is an arboreal, hemiparasitic plant that principally parasitizes western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla). Hemlock dwarf mistletoe exerts a profound influence on infected trees that can drastically change the structure of the tree crown due to reduced growth, top dieback, branch deformation and death, resulting...

The Effects of Seed Source and Planting Environment on Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) Foliage Diseases

Creator:: Wilhelmi, Nicholas
Abstract:: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is a commercially and ecologically important tree species native to western North America. The foliar pathogens Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii, the causal agent of Swiss Needle Cast, and Rhabdocline species, the causal agents of Rhabdocline needle cast, are two important pathogens specific to Douglas-fir. These pathogens are highly influenced...

Overstory Structure and Community Characteristics of Oregon Ash (Fraxinus latifolia) Forests of the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Prive, Sean
Abstract:: As species of ash trees become increasingly threatened worldwide by exotic pests and pathogens, it is important to develop descriptions of their ecologies that help guide the conservation and restoration of forests in which they are a major component. Oregon ash (Fraxinus latifolia) is a dominant tree species in wetland...

Pine butterfly (Neophasia menapia) outbreak in the Malheur National Forest, Blue Mountains, Oregon : examining patterns of defoliation

Creator:: DeMarco, Ariadne T.
Abstract:: The pine butterfly (Neophasia menapia C. Felder & R. Felder) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) is a relatively host-specific defoliator of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws). From 2008 to 2012, the Malheur National Forest was subject to an outbreak of pine butterfly in ponderosa pine, peaking at ~100,000 ha of forest...

Influence of dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium americanum) on stand structure, canopy fuels, and fire behavior in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests 21-28 years post-mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) epidemic in central Oregon

Creator:: Agne, Michelle C.
Abstract:: Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests are widely distributed throughout western North America. However, the lodgepole pine forests of central Oregon are ecologically unique to the region, with a mixed severity fire regime, low cone serotiny, and their occasional presence as a climax species. Most of the research conducted regarding the...

Spatial and ecological analysis of red fir decline in California using FIA data

Creator:: Mortenson, Leif A.
Abstract:: Red fir (Abies magnifica) is a high elevation conifer generally growing between an altitude of 1,400 and 2,700 meters. In California, red fir grows in the Sierra Nevada, the Klamath Mountains, the eastern edges of the northern Californian Coast Ranges, and in the southern Cascades. Red fir commonly grows in...

Effect of site and silvicultural treatment on insect pests and diseases of young ponderosa pine

Creator:: Norlander, Daniel W. D.
Abstract:: Ponderosa pine is an important species both commercially and ecologically in western North America. This study considers the incidence of insect and disease pests on a series of replicated ponderosa pine research plantations in northern California. The studies, on an environmental gradient, contain a series of silvicultural treatments including vegetation...

Scaling the Issue of Changing Disturbance Regimes: Implications of Novel Landscape Conditions for Black Stain Root Disease

Creator:: Bouché, Adam J.
Abstract:: Changes to disturbance regimes resulting from shifts in forest management practices have created novel landscape conditions in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). I analyzed the implications of changes to landscape conditions caused by forest management for the spread of a native root disease: black stain root disease (BSRD) of Douglas-fir. BSRD...
