Water residence time and runoff generation in the western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:: McGuire, Kevin J.
Abstract:: The age, or residence time of water is a fundamental descriptor of catchment hydrology, revealing information about the storage, flow pathways and source of water in a single integrated measure. While there has been tremendous recent interest in residence time to characterize catchments, there are few studies that quantify residence...

Measurement and modeling the physical controls of snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Mazurkiewicz, Adam B.
Abstract:: The physical controls of snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are poorly understood. While there have been numerous field and modeling investigations at the plot and watershed scale, few studies have identified how the snow energy balance (EB) components vary in importance both spatially and temporally. The identification of how...

Butterflies of the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest : biological inventory and ecological analysis

Creator:: Ross, Dana N. R.
Abstract:: A biological inventory of the butterflies of the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest [HJA] in Linn/Lane County, Oregon was conducted during 1994 and 1995. It was the first comprehensive survey of HJA butterflies for the site and serves as a baseline for future butterfly research. A detailed ecological account is...

Community profiles of ammonia oxidizers across high-elevation forest-to-meadow transects

Creator:: Mintie, Ann
Abstract:: In recent years considerable interest has been shown in the diversity of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in soil communities. The majority of the research has been carried out in Northern Europe where soils have received high atmospheric inputs of nitrogen over the past two centuries. In contrast, although much work has been...

Patterns of chronic wind mortality in a small, old-growth Pseudotsuga menziesii forest in the western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Littlefield, Sam, 1980-
Abstract:: Windthrow has been studied extensively as a cause of mortality and as a landscape disturbance agent in temperate forests throughout the United States. The effects of windthrow mortality on stand species composition and structure, forest regeneration and seral development have been well described at the site (e.g. single gap) and...

Inter-relationships of vegetation, hydrology and micro-climate in a young, Douglas-fir forest

Creator:: Barnard, Holly Rene
Abstract:: The links between forests, streamflow, and climate are poorly understood. Despite hundreds of studies over the past 60 years, fundamental questions of forests' effects on the hydrologic cycle remain unanswered. The hydrological cycle involves mutually-dependent biological and physical processes that operate at multiple scales of time and space, and this...

Litter controls of microbial community composition and function in forest soils

Creator:: Brant, Justin B.
Abstract:: Most carbon (C) transformations in soil are carried out by a diverse and complex soil microbial community. The size and composition of the soil microbial community is determined by poorly understood interactions between the quantity and chemical composition of plant inputs, as well as climate. Given the metabolic diversity of...

Quantification of advection and dispersion in lateral subsurface flowpaths at the hillslope-scale

Creator:: Victory, Nichole I.
Abstract:: It is becoming increasingly important to understand fundamental hillslope-scale hydrological processes. Most hillslope-sale transport experiments have generally focused on conceptual findings or other aspect of flow behavior, rather than the quantification of the mass transport mechanisms of advection and dispersion. When the velocities have been quantified, dispersion has been mentioned...

Exotic plant species dynamics from 1994 to 2005 on road networks in forested landscapes of western Oregon

Creator:: Sheehy, Samantha
Abstract:: Although the Pacific Northwest has the least proportion of non-native plant species in relation to other regions of North America, exotic species continue to spread into mountainous areas, including the Cascade Range. In a forested landscape, road networks can act as corridors for exotic plant dispersal and establishment, helping species...

Characteristics of soil organic matter in two forest soils

Creator:: Crow, Susan E.
Abstract:: Soil organic matter (SOM) is the terrestrial biosphere's largest pool of organic carbon (C) and is an integral part of C cycling globally. Soil organic matter composition typically can be traced directly back to the type of detrital inputs; however, the stabilization of SOM results as a combination of chemical...
