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...

Creator:: Grossmann, Emilie B.
Abstract:: I conducted two separate studies, both related to the impacts of spring and fall prescribed fire on ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Loud.) forest soils in Eastern Oregon. The studies were either conducted at or linked to four stands of ponderosa pine, in the Malheur National Forest. Each stand...

Creator:: Hooke, Jennifer Suzanne
Abstract:: The Normalized Burn Ratio and Composite Burn Index were used to classify burn severity in three sites that experienced lightning-ignited wildfire in the year 2000. The effect of burn severity (unburned, low, moderate, and high severity classes) was investigated on vegetation and soil microbial community composition. Vegetation communities showed a...

Creator:: Nelson, Machelle A.
Abstract:: A better understanding of grass seed crop and soil fertility is necessary to improve fertilizer practices and preserving water quality in Willamette Valley, Oregon, where 55% of land-use is in grass seed production that directly impacts adjacent waterways containing native protected fish species. I determined tillage effects on soil N...

Creator:: Schutter, Mary E.
Abstract:: The Oregon Long-Term Soil Quality Project was initiated to identify soil properties that respond rapidly to alternative management practices. Such practices included winter cover cropping, which was implemented at two experimental research stations and several grower fields throughout the Willamette Valley. The goal of this thesis was to identify the...
