Glutathione peroxidase and selenium distribution in semen and reproductive tissues of farm animals

Creator:: Alabi, Nathaniel Sigismund
Abstract:: This study was conducted to investigate the distribution of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and selenium in semen of the boar, bull, ram and stallion, and in the reproductive tissues of the boar, bull and ram. The effect of repeated noncryoprotective freeze-thawing on GSH-Px activity was also studied. Both hydrogen peroxide (H₂0₂)...

Influence of cattle grazing and forage seeding on establishment of conifers in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Alejandro-Castro, Mabel
Abstract:: The ability of controlled livestock grazing, in combination with seeding of palatable forages, to reduce understory competition and enhance conifer establishment, was evaluated during 1985 and 1986, on two adjacent sites in southwestern Oregon. In 1984, Site 1 was clearcut and broadcast burned to remove slash, and Site 2 was...

Sethoxydim herbicide in red fescue and bentgrass : levels and mechanisms of selectivity

Creator:: Butler, J. Hugh B.
Abstract:: The herbicide rate required to reduce growth by 50% (GR₅₀) of 11 cultivars of red fesue (Festuca rubra L. and F. rubra ssp. commutata) and for four cultivars of bentgrass (Agrostis tenuis Sibth. and A. stolonifera L. var. palustris) to sethoxydim (2-[1-(ethoxyimino) butyl]-5-[2-(ethylthio)propyl]-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one) was determined in greenhouse and laboratory experiments....

Effects of grazing management and tree planting pattern in a young Douglas-fir argoforest

Creator:: Carlson, Deirdre H.
Abstract:: A silvopastoral system using a Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) tree crop and subclover (Trifolium subterraneum) as a nitrogen-fixing forage crop was investigated near Corvallis, Oregon, during 1983-1985. Treatments included all possible combinations of three planting patterns (no trees, trees planted 2.5 m apart in a grid, and clusters of five trees...

Morphological and cytological variation in Trillium albidum Freeman (Liliaceae)

Creator:: Bledsoe, Karen E.
Abstract:: This work was performed on Trillium albidum Freeman (Liliaceae), to clarify the pattern of morphological variation between the small-flowered populations at the northern limit of its range ( T. parviflorum Soukup) and the larger-flowered populations from southern Oregon and northern California. It was hypothesized that only a single species of...

Paired watershed ecological analysis

Creator:: Fisher, Michael, (Michael Patrick), 1966-
Abstract:: This study was designed to provide a physical and ecological analysis of paired watersheds in the semi-arid western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) woodlands of Central Oregon. Instrumentation and monitoring was accomplished in Jensen and Mays watersheds as the preliminary portion of a longer term project. Instrumentation was designed to address changes...

Understory vegetation response and nitrogen cycling following cutting of western juniper

Creator:: Bates, Jonathan D.
Abstract:: Since the late 1880's western juniper has expanded in range and increased in density in sagebrush-bunchgrass, riparian, and forested plant communities of the Pacific Northwest. Succession to western juniper woodland has been shown to reduce the productivity and diversity of the understory component, result in concentration of soil nutrients beneath...

Western juniper encroachment into aspen communities in the Northwest Great Basin

Creator:: Wall, Travis G.
Abstract:: In the Northwest Great Basin, aspen (Populus tremuloides) communities uniquely contribute to the biodiversity of a semi-arid, sagebrush-dominated landscape. In this same region, western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) is encroaching into aspen stands. This study determined the timing, extent, and some of the effects of this expansion. Aspen stands below 2,133...
