The methodology, implementation, and analysis of the isotopic composition of soil respired CO₂ in forest ecological research

Creator:

Kayler, Zachary Eric

Abstract:

Soils are the largest terrestrial pool of carbon, therefore it is critical to understand what controls soil carbon efflux to the atmosphere in light of current climate uncertainty. The primary efflux of carbon from soil is soil respiration which is typically categorized into autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration. These two components...

Environmental effects on heartwood extractive content and their consequences for natural durability in Douglas-fir and western redcedar

Creator:

Taylor, Adam McVaugh, 1969-

Abstract:

Heartwood can have properties that are distinct from sapwood, including resistance to insect and microbial attack. Despite the practical importance of heartwood formation in trees, a review of the literature revealed that little was known about the effects of environmental factors on heartwood quality or how variations in heartwood properties...

Drivers of variability in transpiration and implications for stream flow in forests of western Oregon

Creator:

Moore, Georgianne W.

Abstract:

I compared transpiration among different types of forest stands in the western Cascades of Oregon. The three major questions were: 1) How does transpiration compare between a young and old stand and why? 2) Does diversity of overstory trees affect transpiration? and 3) How is transpiration related to stream flow?...
