The influence of biophysical feedbacks and species interactions on grass invasions and coastal dune morphology in the Pacific Northwest, USA

Creator:

Zarnetske, Phoebe Lehmann

Abstract:

Biological invasions provide a unique opportunity to study the mechanisms that regulate community composition and ecosystem function. Invasive species that are also ecosystem engineers can substantially alter physical features in an environment, and this can lead to cascading effects on the biological community. Aquatic-terrestrial interface ecosystems are excellent systems to...

Interactions on Grass Invasions and Coastal Dune Morphology in the Pacific Northwest, USA Abstract approved
Exploration of statistical methods for synthesizing the effects of variable-retention harvesting on multiple taxa

Creator:

Lam, Tzeng Yih

Abstract:

Variable-retention harvesting was proposed to reduce loss of biodiversity and ecosystem processes associated with late-seral Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests in the Pacific Northwest. The Demonstration of Ecosystem Management Options experiment was established to test this hypothesis. Analysis presents various challenges to drawing statistical inferences about treatment effects. This dissertation explored...
