Vertebral elemental markers in elasmobranchs : potential for reconstructing environmental history and population structure

Creator:: Smith, Wade D.
Abstract:: Differences in the chemical composition of calcified structures can be used to reveal natal origins, connectivity, metapopulation structure, and reconstruct the environmental history or movement patterns of many marine organisms. Sharks, skates, and rays (elasmobranchs) lack the calcified structures, known as otoliths, that are typically used for geochemical studies of...

Understory herb and shrub responses to root trenching, pre-commercial thinning, and canopy closure in Douglas-fir forest of the western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Lindh, Briana C.
Abstract:: This thesis examines factors limiting understory herb presence and flowering in young second-growth Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests on the west side of the Cascade Mountains, Oregon, USA. I studied the belowground effects of canopy trees on understory herbs and shrubs in old-growth forests using trenched plots from which tree roots...

Tradeoffs and Synergies among Wild Ungulates, Early Successional Plant Communities and Management Intensification in Forest Plantations of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Stokely, Thomas D.
Abstract:: As the global demand for natural resources increases, more land will be intensively managed for the production of commodities such as timber, with potential consequences to biodiversity, ecological functioning and ecosystem services provided to society. Although there is strong consensus that intensive land management practices can negatively affect biodiversity, less...

The use of remote sensing for characterizing forests in wildlife habitat modeling

Creator:: Vogeler, Jody C.
Abstract:: Spatially explicit maps of habitat relationships have proven to be valuable tools for conservation and management applications including evaluating how and which species may be impacted by large scale climate change, ongoing fragmentation of habitat, and local land-use practices. Studies have turned to remote sensing datasets as a way to...

The Role of Intraspecific Functional Trait Variation in the Differential Decline of Meadow Species Following Conifer Encroachment

Creator:: Celis, Jessica
Abstract:: In the Oregon Cascade Range, conifer encroachment has reduced the extent of mountain meadows by as much as 50% since the mid-1940s. Although encroachment results in a general decline of meadow species abundance and diversity, species differ in their sensitivities to encroachment: some show rapid declines whereas others persist in...

The Influence of Wildfire and Invasive Vegetation on Mule Deer

Creator:: Schuyler, Elizabeth
Abstract:: The western United States has experienced large-scale degradation due to land use and land cover changes, invasion of annual grasses, and expansion of woody plants into grass and shrublands and the resultant altered fire regimes. These landscape-scale changes have coincided with declining mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) populations, making habitat loss...

The fate of organic and inorganic nitrogen inputs in an old-growth forest of the central Oregon Cascade Range

Creator:: Holub, Scott M.
Abstract:: Forests in the Pacific Northwest receive very little nitrogen through atmospheric deposition and thus studying the nitrogen cycle in this region can provide insights into how the unpolluted nitrogen cycle functions. I examined the fate of organic nitrogen versus inorganic nitrogen and the effect of tamlins on N retention by...

The effects of irrigation water withdrawals on macroinvertebrate community structure and life history strategies

Creator:: Miller, Scott W.
Abstract:: I used current water management practices in central and eastern Oregon and Washington as natural experiments to quantify the effects of irrigation water withdrawals on macroinvertebrate community structure and life history strategies. Reduced discharge had direct (e.g. decreased velocity and wetted habitat) and indirect (e.g. increased conductivity and temperature) effects...

Subalpine revegetation on backcountry campsites near Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite National Park, California : third year results

Creator:: Moritsch, Barbara J.
Abstract:: The National Park Service initiated a backcountry campsite restoration project in 1987 to restore native vegetation on severely degraded campsites in three subalpine lake basins in Yosemite National Park. Restoration treatments included soil scarification, transplanting, manual seeding and site protection. Eight of the treated campsites were monitored in 1990 to...

Structure, function, and analysis of Coleoptera and Heteroptera assemblages on two species of hazelnut in Oregon

Creator:: Wetherill, Karen R.
Abstract:: The European hazelnut, Corylus avellana L., was imported into the U.S. in the late 1800's and is now grown throughout the Willamette Valley in Oregon. A native species of hazelnut, C. cornuta Marshall, is a common shrub found in forested areas of the Pacific Northwest. Foliage of both C. avellana...
