Creator:: Hunt, Gary, 1945-
Abstract:: Total length and biomass of fungal mycelium in the soil of a young Douglas-fir stand in the central Oregon Coast Range were estimated over 27 months with the agar-film technique. In a second study, phenology and taxonomy of hypogeous (belowground) sporocarps were studied over 32 months in a nearby, young...

Creator:: Wilson, John K. (John Kevin)
Abstract:: Disturbance, whether natural or of human origin, modifies to varying degrees many ecosystem attributes. Fire is a natural process in the montane forests of southern Oregon but for much of the 20th century fire was viewed as an apocalypse and thus fervently suppressed. Effective natural resource management requires an understanding...

Creator:: Borchers, Jeffrey G.
Abstract:: The effect of physical factors such as soil structure, bulk density, parent material, and topographic variables on soil C and N dynamics and ectomycorrhizal inocululu potential in forests of southwest Oregon were investigated In the high-elevation white fir (Abies concolor (Gord. & Glend.) Lindl.) zone, two old poorly-vegetated clearcuts with...

Creator:: Giesen, Thomas William
Abstract:: Fire is a major disturbance process in many forests. Long-term studies of the biogeochemical effects of fires, especially on soils, are very rare. Consequently, long-term effects of fire on soils are often hypothesized from short-term effects. In a chronosequence study, I studied 24 western Cascades (Oregon) forest stands thought to...
