Human Alteration of a Neotropical Landscape Drives Long-term Changes in its Forest Bird Communities

Creator:

Curtis, Jenna R.

Abstract:

Human alteration of natural landscapes leads to biodiversity loss, often from a combination of area effects and fragmentation effects. Smaller habitat patches support fewer species than large ones and incur additional consequences from isolation. Efforts to preempt biodiversity loss from insular habitat fragments are complicated by individualistic species responses and...

Seasonal floodplain wetlands as fish habitat in Oregon and Washington

Creator:

Baker, Cynthia F.

Abstract:

To begin to understand freshwater seasonal floodplain fish communities in the context of human alteration of the physical system, species introductions and wetland restoration efforts, I studied fish assemblages in fifteen seasonal floodplain wetlands within four geographic regions (coastal, upper Columbia River estuary, Puget Sound and eastern Oregon/Washington) in the...

Post-harvest establishment influences ANPP, soil C and DOC export in complex mountainous terrain

Creator:

Peterson, Fox S.

Abstract:

The link between aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) and resource gradients generated by complex terrain (solar radiation, nutrients, and moisture) has been established in the literature. Belowground ecosystem stocks and functions, such as soil organic carbon (SOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and belowground productivity have also been related to the...
