Weed management for giant reed (Arindo donax) biomass production in Oregon

Creator:: Attarian, Amir
Abstract:: Giant reed (Arundo donax L.) is a candidate to provide feedstock for the Portland General Electric power plant in Boardman, Oregon. Giant reed is a fast perennial grass, producing 23-27 metric tons ha⁻¹ of biomass and has the ability to adapt to diverse environments making it a good candidate for...

Development of baseline data on Oregon's high desert vernal pools

Creator:: Wyland, Sara Alice
Abstract:: Vernal pools are ephemeral surface water wetlands with unique hydrology, ecology and species composition. Rare and endemic species rely on vernal pool habitat due to specialization traits the species possess because they are adapted to the extreme conditions. Many vernal pool basins have been topographically and hydrologically altered and are...

Effects of oil and natural gas development on territory occupancy of ferruginous hawks and golden eagles in Wyoming, USA

Creator:: Wallace, Zachary P.
Abstract:: Energy development is expanding rapidly across the western US. Negative effects have been documented for some wildlife, but consequences of development are unclear for other taxa, including raptors. We had the opportunity to examine effects of oil and natural gas development on two raptor species of conservation concern, ferruginous hawks...

Non-native and native plant species distributions and variability along an elevation gradient in the Wallowa Mountains, Oregon

Creator:: Averett, Joshua P.
Abstract:: Invasion by non-native plants into natural areas is an important component of global change that threatens biodiversity and ecosystem structure and function. Mountains are currently among the least invaded ecosystems, however, these biodiversity hotspots are increasingly under threat of exotic plant invasion. Evaluation of plant species distribution patterns in mountain...

Assessment of mule deer fawn survival and birth site habitat attributes in south-central Oregon

Creator:: Speten, David
Abstract:: Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) populations in south-central Oregon are near their lowest levels since census efforts began in 1961. I investigated fawn survival, cause-specific mortality, and factors contributing to mortality from 2010 – 2012 to identify potential causes for the decline. I also explored pre-parturition and parturition site characteristics. I...

Canyon Grasslands of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area : How have they changed over time and what is their future trajectory?

Creator:: Pack, Samantha J.
Abstract:: The canyon grasslands of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area (HCNRA) are a unique ecosystem within the Pacific Northwest Bunchgrass Region (PNWBR) with a long history of natural and anthropogenic disturbances including fire, invasive species introduction, historical livestock grazing, and cultivation. Even with this history, these canyon grasslands contain some...

Survival Rates and Cause-Specific Mortality of Mule Deer in South-Central Oregon

Creator:: Mulligan, Elizabeth M.
Abstract:: It is critical for wildlife managers to understand the population dynamics of a harvested species, particularly for ungulates, which are a valuable wildlife resource. Due to concerns that mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) populations in Oregon were declining, more comprehensive data on population vital rates and the factors potentially affecting them...

Resource Selection and Space Use of Western Long-eared Myotis (Myotis evotis) in a Western Juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) Woodland of Central Oregon

Creator:: Anthony, Christopher R.
Abstract:: Identifying habitat and spatial requirements of wildlife species across multiple spatial scales is a challenging, yet crucial component of wildlife management. Habitat use of bats is particularly difficult to study, and managing habitat to conserve bats is especially challenging because bats are highly vagile organisms that exploit several different types...

Modeling the Economic Potential of Silvopasture in Eastern North Carolina and Northeastern Oregon and Exploring Eligibility of Silvopasture to Enroll in Carbon Markets in the United States

Creator:: Bruck, Sonia Rose
Abstract:: Silvopasture is the planned and managed agroforestry system in which forage, livestock, and trees or shrubs are integrated in order to enhance individual components. Silvopasture has been identified as the most promising agroforestry system for the Pacific Northwest and Southeast United States. However, there have been few studies describing the...

Effect of Plant Growth Regulator and Irrigation on Physiological and Harvest Maturity of Red Clover in Relation to Seed Quality

Creator:: Angsumalee, Duangporn
Abstract:: Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) seed yield can be affected by plant growth regulators (PGR) and irrigation; however, the effects of these factors on physiological maturity (PM), harvest maturity (HM), and seed quality are unknown. The objectives of this study were to: 1) determine how irrigation and trinexapac-ethyl (TE, a...
