Water relations, gas exchange, and growth responses of Douglas-fir seedlings to stresses associated with transplanting

Creator:: Joseph, Gladwin
Abstract:: The goal of this thesis was to determine the physiological mechanisms that link adverse preplanting treatments of Douglas-fir, such as exposure and root pruning, to the phenomenon of transplanting shock. The objective of experiments 1 and 2 was to measure the effect of exposure and pruning on the physiology and...

Transplant shock in stored and unstored 2+0 Douglas-fir seedlings : effect of initial root volume and soil water content

Creator:: Haase, Diane L.
Abstract:: Transplant shock was induced by applying a range of soil water contents to unstored and cold-stored two-yearold (2+0) bareroot Douglas-fir seedlings graded by root volume. Moisture stress had the greatest influence on morphological characteristics commonly associated with transplant shock. Terminal growth, lateral growth, stem diameter growth, and needle length increased...

Pollen contamination trends in a maturing Douglas-fir seed orchard

Creator:: Adams, W. T., Hipkins, Valerie D., Burczyk, J., and Randall, W. K.
Abstract:: Pollen contamination was investigated in one block (block 4) of a 10-block Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seed orchard complex in western Oregon. Blocks (25 clones each) represent different breeding zones; thus, contaminant pollen sources not only included the adjacent natural stand of Douglas-fir, but also other blocks within the...

Persistence and age-age genetic correlations of stem defects in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii (Mirb.) Franco)

Creator:: Temel, Fatih
Abstract:: Stem defects, including sinuosity, large branches, and the occurrence of steep-angled branches (e.g., forks and ramicorns) can occur with high frequency in young plantations of Coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii (Mirb.) Franco). The importance of including these stem defects as criteria in early selection depends, in great part, on...

Interaction of seed source, competition and fertility on planted Douglas-fir (Pseudotstuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco)

Creator:: Roth, Brian Edward
Abstract:: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the interaction between herbaceous competition, fertility, and seed source on Douglas-fir survival and growth. A secondary objective was to evaluate the effect of these various factors on the production of lammas shoots and the selectivity of deer browse. Finally, the role...

Fall fertilization effects on Douglas-fir seedling quality

Creator:: Birchler, Todd M.
Abstract:: Coastal Douglas-fir (Psuedotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) 1 + 1 seedlings were fertilized with two types of fertilizers (NB4NO3+K2SO4 and (NH.4)2 SO4+KC1) at four rates (0, 80, 160, 320 kg N and K/ha) split over 3 application dates (September 19, October 13, November 1, 1996). By January 10, total Kjeldahl nitrogen...

Interactions of ammoniacal copper zinc arsenate (ACZA) wood preservative with Douglas-fir

Creator:: Lebow, Stan T.
Abstract:: The use of the waterborne wood preservative, ammoniacal copper zinc arsenate (ACZA), is likely to increase in the near future because of environmental concerns associated with oilborne preservatives. Developing an understanding of the permanence of this preservative in wood will become important from both environmental and performance standpoints. Conventional thinking...

Extraction and properties of Douglas-fir sapwood polyphenol oxidase

Creator:: Musbah, Durria Abdel Azim
Abstract:: Chemical stains that develop on commercial woods are problems of great economic importance. The polyphenol oxidases catalyze the oxidation of the phenolics that naturally exist in plants to quinones when the cell structure is disrupted. The quinones produced are further oxidized and polymerized to melanin, the pigment which is responsible...

Underplanting and competition in thinned Douglas-fir

Creator:: Brandeis, Thomas James
Abstract:: Understory conifer regeneration needs to occur beneath conifer-dominated canopies if two-storied or uneven-aged structures are to be considered for western Oregon Coast Range stand management. To ensure adequate numbers of seedlings to meet stocking or habitat structure objectives, planting may be a solution. We undertook a multi-level study to determine...

Examining bias in estimating the response variable and assessing the effect of using alternative plot designs to measure predictor variables in diameter growth modeling

Creator:: Zumrawi, Abdel Azim M. A.
Abstract:: Diameter growth of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuqa menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) estimated from increment cores was compared with that obtained from repeated measurements of tree diameter on permanent plots located in two Douglas-fir study areas in the central Coast Range of Oregon. Growth was measured for a 6-year period (1979- 1985). Diameter growth...
