The infection and colonization of Douglas-fir needles by the Swiss needle cast pathogen, Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii (Rhode) Petrak

Creator:: Capitano, Bryan R.
Abstract:: Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii is a pathogenic fungus on Douglas-fir needles which has become a serious threat to timber production in the last decade along the Oregon coast This research was undertaken to describe the general biology and pathology of F. gaeumannii on Douglas-fir needles and how environmental variables affect fungal development....

Effects of Phellinus weirii on plant community composition and succession of mature and old-growth Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Holah, Jennifer C.
Abstract:: Disease is often overlooked as a natural disturbance agent in plant communities. This study examines what effects, if any, a disease-mediated disturbance has on the plant community as a whole in old-growth and mature forests of western Oregon. Phellinus weirii (Murrill) Gilbertson (Family: Hymenochaetaceae) is a native root-rotting pathogen that...

The relationship of Douglas-fir dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium douglasii) to environmental and stand conditions and plant communities in the southern Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Marshall, Katrina
Abstract:: This study examined the relationships between the frequency of occurrence and severity of Douglas-fir dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium douglasii Engelmann), environmental and stand conditions, and plant communities in the Southern Oregon Cascade Mountain Province. Data for the study was collected from the same ecology plots that were previously used to define...

Spatial and temporal dynamics of the Douglas-fir bark beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsugae, Hopk.) in the Detroit Ranger District, Oregon : a landscape ecology perspective

Creator:: Powers, Jennifer Sarah
Abstract:: I developed a conceptual model of Douglas-fir bark beetle dynamics and associated host mortality across spatial and temporal scales. I proposed that a hierarchy of factors influence host resistance to attack at different spatial scales. I then tested this model by measuring the association between the occurrence of beetle-kill and...

Biology and control of Fusarium spp. on Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)

Creator:: Hoefnagels, Mariëlle Henriette, 1965-
Abstract:: Fusarium spp. are among the most important pathogens of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) seedlings in bareroot nurseries. Currently the most effective disease control method is soil fumigation with methyl bromide. As methyl bromide is phased out, however, other disease management strategies may become more important. We explored two alternative approaches to...

Decomposition of Basamid in Douglas-fir heartwood

Creator:: Forsyth, Paul Griffin
Abstract:: Basamid^R (3,5-dimethy1-1,3,5,2H-tetrahydrothiadiazine- 2-thione) is a crystalline powder used as a soil sterilant. This fumigant acts in soil by decomposing to methylisothiocyanate (MITC), the primary active ingredient, as well as hydrogen sulfide, methylamine, and formaldehyde. In wood, Basamid decomposes too slowly to be efficacious against decay fungi unless amended with various...

Differential growth of roots and shoots of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) seedlings infested with Cinara pseudotsugae, and population dynamics of a parasitoid wasp (Pauesia sp.) of C. pseudotsugae

Creator:: Smith, Julia P.
Abstract:: Aphids are a widespread family of plant pests, whose abilities to suppress shoot and root growth are well documented for many terrestrial plants. Only a few studies have been conducted on conifer aphids of the genus Cinara. Cinara pseudotsugae are known to attack Douglas-fir seedlings, an important crop in the...

Fungal colonization of Douglas-fir sapwood

Creator:: Kang, Sung-Mo
Abstract:: The fungi that cause mold and stain of freshly sawn lumber result in millions of dollars in losses to the forest products industry. Stain and mold are typically prevented by either kiln drying or by application of a topical fungicide. While these treatments are effective, kiln drying is costly and...

Tree vigor and the susceptibility of Douglas-fir to armillaria root disease

Creator:: Rosso, Pablo H.
Abstract:: The main objective of this thesis was to determine the influence of tree vigor on susceptibility to Armillaria root disease. First, the effect of thinning, fertilizing and pruning on tree vigor of four young Douglas-fir (Pseudo tsuga menziesii var. menziesi,) plantations was explored. Tree vigor was calculated by measuring wood...

Fungi on Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine cones from the USDA Forest Service Nursery, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

Creator:: James, Robert L. and United States. Forest Service. Northern Region
Abstract:: Cones of Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine with extensive mold on external portions of scales were sampled for presence of fungi potentially pathogenic to conifer seedlings in nurseries. The major colonizers of cone scales and external seedcoats for both conifer species were Trichoderma spp. Penicillium spp. were also very common. The...
