Trait-based approaches to linking vegetation and food webs in early-seral forests of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Campbell, John L. and Donato, Daniel C.
Abstract:: Both the structure and composition of naturally generated early-seral forests in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) can be profoundly different than that of more developed forest seres, especially in the period after a major disturbance but before conifers re-develop a closed canopy. While it is reasonable to suggest that the unique...

Carbon emissions from decomposition of fire-killed trees following a large wildfire in Oregon, United States

Creator:: Campbell, John L., Fontaine, Joseph B., and Donato, Daniel C.
Abstract:: A key uncertainty concerning the effect of wildfire on carbon dynamics is the rate at which fire-killed biomass (e.g., dead trees) decays and emits carbon to the atmosphere. We used a ground-based approach to compute decomposition of forest biomass killed, but not combusted, in the Biscuit Fire of 2002, an...

Burning the legacy? Influence of wildfire reburn on dead wood dynamics in a temperate conifer forest

Creator:: Donato, Daniel C., Fontaine, Joseph B., and Campbell, John L.
Abstract:: Dynamics of dead wood, a key component of forest structure, are not well described for mixed-severity fire regimes with widely varying fire intervals. A prominent form of such variation is when two stand-replacing fires occur in rapid succession, commonly termed an early-seral “reburn.” These events are thought to strongly influence...

The potential of Indonesian mangrove forests for global climate change mitigation

Creator:: Murdiyarso, Daniel, Purbopuspito, Joko, Kauffman, J. Boone, Warren, Matthew W., Sasmito, Sigit D., Donato, Daniel C., Manuri, Solichin, Krisnawati, Haruni, Taberima, Sartji, and Kurnianto, Sofyan
Abstract:: Mangroves provide a wide range of ecosystem services, including nutrient cycling, soil formation, wood production, fish spawning grounds, ecotourism and carbon (C) storage¹. High rates of tree and plant growth, coupled with anaerobic, water-logged soils that slow decomposition, result in large long-term C storage. Given their global significance as large...

Reasserting moral boundaries : representations of fame in George Eliot's Daniel Deronda

Creator:: Foster, Emily S.
Abstract:: Celebrity culture is part of a long history of fame, but the modern celebrity individual came into focus in the nineteenth century. The first part of this thesis distinguishes modern celebrity – including its morality – from other types of fame, explores the intersection of celebrity and gender through the...

Functional, structural and evolutionary analyses of the ferritin-like superfamily of proteins

Creator:: Cooley, Richard Bleier
Abstract:: The ferritin-like superfamily (FLSF) of proteins is composed of a wide variety of functionally diverse proteins involved in oxygen dependent metal-mediated electron transfer reactions. Their biological importance is exemplified by the fact FLSF proteins are found in almost every organism from all three domains of life. Their functions range from...

Estimating Global ‘‘Blue Carbon’’ Emissions from Conversion and Degradation of Vegetated Coastal Ecosystems

Creator:: Pendleton, Linwood, Donato, Daniel C., Murray, Brian C., Crooks, Stephen, Jenkins, W. Aaron, Sifleet, Samantha, Craft, Christopher, Fourqurean, James W., Kauffman, J. Boone, Marba, Nuria, Megonigal, Patrick, Pidgeon, Emily, Herr, Dorothee, Gordon, David, and Baldera, Alexis
Abstract:: Recent attention has focused on the high rates of annual carbon sequestration in vegetated coastal ecosystems—marshes, mangroves, and seagrasses—that may be lost with habitat destruction (‘conversion’). Relatively unappreciated, however, is that conversion of these coastal ecosystems also impacts very large pools of previously-sequestered carbon. Residing mostly in sediments, this ‘blue...

Hydraulic experiments on impact forces from tsunami-driven debris

Creator:: Ko, Harrison T.
Abstract:: Impact by an idealized shipping container on a column were observed for tsunami flow in a large-scale wave flume modeled at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University. Two specimen types, aluminum and acrylic, were tested; and each specimen was tested in two orientations, longitudinal and transverse....

Role of Plc in the germination of Clostridium perfringens food poisoning isolate SM101

Creator:: Bond, Colton B.
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens is the causative agent of gas gangrene and the 3rd most common cause of type A food borne disease in the United States. Critical to the pathogenicity of C. perfringens is the ability of this bacterium to produce highly resistant, metabolically dormant spores that can resume metabolic function...

Mechanism of action of ST-669 in Chlamydia spp.

Creator:: Scharzenberger, Stormy Marie
Abstract:: Our laboratory group is studying the molecular target of a novel, broad-spectrum antiviral compound known as ST-669. This compound has activity against a variety of different viruses and also obligate intracellular bacteria in the genera Coxiella and Chlamydia. The goal of this thesis project was to help elucidate the mechanism...
