The relationships between avian community structure and herbicide
modification of vegetation were analyzed on early-growth clearcuts in
western Oregon that had received phenoxy herbicide treatment 1 or
4 years previously. Only minor effects of herbicide treatment were
evident 1-year after spraying, except for red adler (Alnus rubra),
which still exhibited...
Competitive interactions between Douglas-fir seedlings (Pseudotsuga menziesii), and seedlings of a nitrogen-fixing hardwood
associate, red alder (Alnus rubra), were investigated in an addition series experiment. The primary objective of the research was to identify and quantify key processes underlying intra- and interspecific competitive interactions of Douglas-fir and red alder seedlings....
