Stand development after 20-years of growth in Douglas-fir and red alder mixtures

Creator:: Garrelts, Brennan T.
Abstract:: This study examines the long-term role of interference on stand development of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) and red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) planted mixtures in the Central Cascades of Oregon, USA. The two species are common associates in naturally regenerated and planted conifer stands in the Pacific Northwest. Due...

Decomposition and nitrogen dynamics of red alder and Douglas-fir leaf litter in Oregon Coast Range riparian forests

Creator:: Matkins, Joselin
Abstract:: I examined factors regulating decomposition rates of red alder (Alnus rubra)) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) leaf litter in Coast Range riparian areas in western Oregon. Overall, this study was designed to examine the influence that leaf litter quality characteristics and decomposition site treatment have on decomposition rates, to provide a...

A macroscopic to microscopic study of the effects of barotrauma and the potential for long-term survival in Pacific rockfish

Creator:: Pribyl, Alena L.
Abstract:: Depleted species of rockfish (Sebastes spp.) from the Northeast Pacific experience high discard mortality due to "barotrauma," induced from the rapid change in pressure during capture. Research suggests rockfish have the potential to survive barotrauma if immediately recompressed, but the potential for long-term recovery is unknown. In this project, we...

Stream Chemistry in the Oregon Coast Range: Spatial and Temporal Variation

Creator:: Carini, Lya
Abstract:: Hydrological and biogeochemical processes occurring throughout a watershed are typically reflected in stream water chemistry, including in coastal watersheds. While Oregon Coast Range streams have been studied in the past, there is a dearth of knowledge in terms of seasonal temporal trends and spatial variability that this study seeks to...

Halibut bycatch management implications for Area 2A and evaluation of an informal video

Creator:: Fruh, Erica
Abstract:: Concern over the incidental catch of non-targeted species in commercial and recreational fisheries has greatly increased. Public attention, negative publicity, controversies between differing fisheries and gear groups and the reauthorization of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act have led to an increased awareness of the issue. The Pacific halibut...

A Closer Look into the Development of State Healthy Soils Policies: Network Building, Information Sharing, Policy Diffusion, and Innovation

Creator:: Beck, Sabrina
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper is to understand the role of policy diffusion in the policy development process of state healthy soil policies. Within the last decade state legislation on soil health has increased exponentially. In general, these policies are efforts by state governments to mitigate or adapt to climate...

The Social Construction of the Metallic Mining Industry: The Divergent Cases of the Mining Moratorium Bill (Wisconsin) and the Permit Streamlining Bill (Minnesota)

Creator:: Harewood, Alessandra G and Harewood, Alessandra G.
Abstract:: Hardrock mining is associated with severe environmental and economic costs. Of particular concern is acid mine drainage which has contaminated several thousand kilometers of streams across the United States representing a formidable danger to watershed health. Given the high risks of this activity, ensuring high regulatory standards may be an...

Community Visioning in Chaotic Times: Lessons Learned from the 2020 Tillamook County Community Visioning Project

Creator:: Gentilcore Ryan, Ava
Abstract:: In recent decades, local governments have desired to increase community engagement in collaborative governance processes, such as community visioning and strategic planning, in an effort to develop policies that are inclusive and supportive of those who live in the community. A key component of the community visioning process is the...

Environmental justice and energy production : coal-fired power plants in Illinois

Creator:: Clark, Catherine
Abstract:: The environmental justice framework has been applied to many environmentally negative issues in the past such as toxic storage and disposal facilities, toxic release inventory sites, air quality, transportation, and global climate change. It has not yet been applied to energy production in a quantitative study. This study investigates the...

The inheritance of pod detachment force in green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Creator:: McCluskey, Rebecca L.
Abstract:: The easy picking characteristic, expressed as low pod detachment force (PDF), offers a way to decrease pod damage in bush green beans mechanically harvested for processing and fresh market, and makes hand picking easier and faster. This study was undertaken to examine inheritance in a cross of two green bean...
