Groundwater and stormwater treatment at western wood preserving facilities : an analysis of current treatment methods

Creator:: Ragan, Anita M.
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest is blessed with an abundance of precipitation. This rainfall, however, can have important consequences for industries that must process the resulting stormwater for proper discharge. This is particularly true of wood treatment facilities. Past management practices at wood preserving facilities located in the Western United States create...

Relationship of Soil Fungal Communities and Burn Severity to Post-Fire Vegetation Response

Creator:: Roach, Skylar K.
Abstract:: The effects of fire on above-ground forest systems have been extensively studied. However, research on fire effects on belowground processes is lacking. While the soil microbiome is understood to be vital to conifer growth and regeneration, the complexity of soils means that research on the topic has largely been accomplished...

State-Level Challenges to Invasive Insect Management: A Case Study of Spotted Lanternfly in the Northeast

Creator:: Adams, Jennifer
Abstract:: Spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is an invasive insect that was first discovered in Pennsylvania in 2014, and has since spread across the Northeastern United States. States in the Northeast have created quarantine zones, regulations, outreach, reporting systems, and management efforts for the control of spotted lanternfly. Despite states’ efforts, spotted...

An Assessment of Black-backed Woodpecker (Picoides arcticus) Vital Rates in Green and Burned Forests within a Pyrodiverse Landscape Mosaic

Creator:: Kerstens, Mark E.
Abstract:: Vital rates and population connectivity are fundamental concepts in animal ecology and such information is critical for successful conservation planning. The Black-backed Woodpecker (Picoides arcticus) is a species of conservation concern because of its strong association with forests recently burned by high-severity wildfire. However, several recent studies have found that...

Phytophthora ramorum within an Oregon tanoak forest : quantifying inoculum within canopy throughfall vs. soil splash

Creator:: Benemann, Silvia, E.
Abstract:: Phytophthora ramorum continues to cause extensive mortality of tanoaks in southwestern Oregon. Rain readily washes inoculum down through the canopy, causing new infections on the lower parts of the tree and neighboring host plants. Although this aspect of dispersal is well understood, the relative importance of infested soil and leaf...

Understanding Citizen Advisory Boards : A National Census of Tree Boards

Creator:: Greenleaf, Sarah (Sarah Maleno)
Abstract:: Effective management of urban forests is vital to society due to the numerous ecological, economic, and social benefits they provide. In many cities, management efforts are commonly supported by citizen advisory groups, which are often generically referred to as “tree boards” within the urban forestry context. Very little is known...

Post-fire recreation management in the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness

Creator:: Brown, Ryan N. K.
Abstract:: Natural events such as wildfires, floods, and storms can significantly alter the short-term structure and functioning of natural systems. Recreation in wilderness areas is one instance in which individuals are directly exposed to post-disturbance landscapes. Consequently, public land managers may be faced with a different set of challenges stemming from...

Global Overview of the Cross-Laminated Timber Industry

Creator:: Albee, Raquel R.
Abstract:: The global Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) industry has changed dramatically within the past decade, with expansion outside of its start in Alpine Europe. The societal focus on more sustainable options within the built environment has led to an increased use of mass timber construction and its products including cross-laminated timber. Examining...
