The great fires : Indian burning and catastrophic forest fire patterns of the Oregon Coast Range, 1491-1951

Creator:

Zybach, Bob

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between land management practices of Indian communities prior to contact with Europeans and the nature or character of subsequent catastrophic forest fires in the Oregon Coast Range. The research focus is spatial and temporal patterns of Indian burning across the...

The fate of organic and inorganic nitrogen inputs in an old-growth forest of the central Oregon Cascade Range

Creator:

Holub, Scott M.

Abstract:

Forests in the Pacific Northwest receive very little nitrogen through atmospheric deposition and thus studying the nitrogen cycle in this region can provide insights into how the unpolluted nitrogen cycle functions. I examined the fate of organic nitrogen versus inorganic nitrogen and the effect of tamlins on N retention by...

Carbon storage in a Pacific Northwest conifer forest ecosystem : a chronosequence approach

Creator:

Janisch, Jack E.

Abstract:

As concern over global warming intensifies, sequestration and storage of atmospheric CO2 has become an important scientific and policy issue. Confusion persists, however, over interpretation of forest carbon (C) source-sink dynamics, in part because conclusions drawn depend on temporal and spatial scales of analysis (e.g. day-week scale vs. successional-scale), type...
