The impact of microclimate variation on budburst phenology within a mature Douglas-fir tree (Pseudostuga menziesii)

Creator:: Miller, Rebecca A.
Abstract:: Budburst, the initiation of annual growth in plants, is sensitive to climate variation and is therefore used to monitor physiological responses to climate change. Budburst timing can vary between regions of an individual tree, but this phenomenon it is unaccounted for in current monitoring efforts and may contribute to the...

Introducing and validating a high-throughput bud break sensor

Creator:: Kleinknecht, George J.
Abstract:: Bud break is a key adaptive trait that can help us understand how plants respond to a changing climate from the molecular to landscape scale. Despite this, acquisition of bud break data is currently constrained by cost, scale, and a lack of information at the plant scale on the environmental...

The use of motivational interviewing within school counseling programs for academically unmotivated eighth grade students

Creator:: Hadraba, Heather D.
Abstract:: School counselors are challenged with creating a wide range of programs to address three developmental domains: personal/social, career, and academic, with an increasing requirement to provide accurate and sufficient data substantiating their professional contributions to students’ academic achievement. At the same time, the professional literature reports that during adolescence there...

Cryptogam communities in forest and steppe ecosystems of Oregon, USA

Creator:: Root, Heather T.
Abstract:: I focus on addressing knowledge gaps relating to management of cryptogams in Oregon's public lands in Pseudotsuga menziesii-Tsuga heterophylla forests on the west side of the Cascade Range and dryland steppe in the Cascade Range's rainshadow. While a great deal of research has illustrated the importance of late-successional forests for...

Potential effects of climate change and fire management on fire behavior and vegetation patterns on an east Cascades landscape

Creator:: Greaves, Heather E.
Abstract:: Climate exerts considerable control on wildfire regimes, and climate and wildfire are both major drivers of forest growth and succession in interior Northwest forests. Estimating potential response of these landscapes to anticipated changes in climate helps researchers and land managers understand and mitigate impacts of climate change on important ecological...

Infectious diseases of the Felidae : parasite communities from miniature to massive

Creator:: Broughton, Heather M.
Abstract:: Direct anthropogenic stressors have caused drastic declines in wildlife populations over the past two centuries. In the face of these threats, spillover of infectious disease from domestic animals and livestock into wildlife, and novel interactions between parasites and pathogens within wildlife communities, have further suppressed already vulnerable populations. As management...

Coastal hazards and community exposure in a changing climate : the development of probabilistic coastal change hazard zones

Creator:: Baron, Heather M.
Abstract:: Documented trends in rising sea levels, storminess, and extreme wave heights have the potential to increase the frequency and magnitude of coastal change hazards, increasing risks to coastal infrastructure and environmental resources. Coastal planners and decision makers need information about the impacts of future hazards in order to apply mitigation...

Microbiology of basalts targeted for deep geological carbon sequestration : field observations and laboratory experiments

Creator:: Lavalleur, Heather J.
Abstract:: With rising concentrations of CO₂ in the Earth's atmosphere causing concern about climate change, many solutions are being presented to decrease emissions. One of the proposed solutions is to sequester excess CO₂ in geological formations such as basalt. The deep subsurface is known to harbor much of the microbial biomass...

Ecological thresholds, climate extremes, and tree species' distributions across the Pacific coastal United States

Creator:: Lintz, Heather E.
Abstract:: Species' distributions across the landscape are perhaps the least understood yet most conspicuous features of life on earth. Ecologists have long studied species' distributions; yet, many questions remain about why species occur where they do. Such questions persist largely because species' distributions are complex systems with challenging properties like non-linearity,...

Post-fire vegetation response to snow in the western United States

Creator:: Blauvelt, Katie
Abstract:: The western United States is experiencing significant changes in wildfire and snow regimes as a result of warming temperatures. An amplification of wildfire activity and reduction in snow water equivalent, snow covered area, and earlier spring snowmelt are documented trends that are projected to continue into the future. With an...
