Climate-growth relationships of western juniper and ponderosa pine at the pine-woodland ecotone in southern Oregon

Creator:

Knutson, Kevin C.

Abstract:

Pinyon-juniper woodlands throughout the western U.S. have expanded rapidly following European settlement during the late 19th century. In central and eastern Oregon, western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis var. occidentalis Hook.) encroachment has been previously documented in the sagebrush steppe and upper elevation aspen communities. While these vegetation changes and dynamics have...

Effects of wildfire burn severity on soil microbial communitiesand invasive plant species in the Cascade Range of Oregon

Creator:

Hebel, Cassie L.

Abstract:

Fire suppression in the last several decades has resulted in unprecedented accumulations of organic matter on the landscape, leading to an increase in large, intense wildfires. This study investigated the soil microbial community (using phospholipid fatty acid analysis) across recently burned forests on the eastern slope of the Cascade Range...

Fire severity and vegetation response to fire in riparian areas of the Biscuit and B&B Complex Fires, Oregon

Creator:

Halofsky, Jessica E.

Abstract:

Fire is the dominant disturbance process in western U.S. forests, and although effects of fire in upland forests are relatively well-studied, there is little information about fire effects on riparian forests, critical areas of the landscape for both habitat and water quality. This dissertation examines different aspects of fire effects...
