Schuster Slope Landscape Management Plan Revisited : A re-design plan for a steep slope restoration project in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Yañez, Luís G.
Abstract:: Proper steep slopes management in urban settings are important to protect human life and property and only becoming more necessary as density of urban populations increases. A low-tech solution to manage slopes is bioengineering, which consists of using plant materials, rock, and soil in various configurations to stabilize slopes. This...

Ecosystem Processes in Treated and Untreated Western Juniper Systems in Semiarid Watersheds: A Paired Watershed Study in Central Oregon

Creator:: Abdallah, Mohamed AB.
Abstract:: Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) encroachment has been associated with negative ecological and hydrological consequences including reductions in herbaceous production and diversity, deterioration for wildlife habitat, and higher erosion and runoff potentials. As a result, western juniper removal is a common and accepted rangeland management practice. Although studies evaluating the ecological...

Evaluating Multi-objective Trade-offs in Mature Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) Stands of Western Oregon

Creator:: Williams, Neil G.
Abstract:: Contemporary forest management involves a more extensive and diverse suite of management objectives than was the case throughout much of the Twentieth Century. Heightened public and political awareness of local and global biodiversity decline, and interest in arresting these trends, has increased the emphasis on broad-based biodiversity conservation as an...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) Kernel Polymers as Breeding Targets for Improved End-Use Quality

Creator:: Trittinger, Susanne
Abstract:: Wheat is a staple food crop with many applications. The composition and quantity of major and minor flour components greatly influence functional dough properties, processing quality, and end-use suitability. Seven to 15% of the weight of wheat flour is protein and the gluten proteins comprise 80-85% of that. The gluten...

The Impact of Understory Vegetation on the Productivity and Costs of Cut-to-length Thinning Harvest Systems in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Uffelman, Shane
Abstract:: The forests in the Pacific Northwest are highly productive for timber and are a major factor in the economies of the region. The Pacific Northwest is the leading producer of lumber and plywood in the country. The use of harvester-forwarder cut-to-length harvest systems as a method for timber harvests in...

Classification of Native Vegetation of Oregon - 2019

Creator:: Kagan, James S., Brunner, Rachel L., and Christy, John A.
Abstract:: This classification is an update of the 2004 classification of native vegetation of Oregon by Kagan, Christy, Murray and Titus. As before, this classification lists the native plant associations known to occur in Oregon, and includes both successional and climax vegetation types that were part of the presettlement landscape of...

Modern Wheat Breeding: Next Generation Sequencing and CRISPR Transformation

Creator:: Brandt, Kali M.
Abstract:: Wheat (Tritium aestivum) is an extremely important crop worldwide. It accounts for almost one quarter of the calories consumed each day by more than one third of the world’s population, and is grown over more land area than any other crop. Wheat breeding programs constantly strive to increase or maintain...

Adapting to Revenue Changes Due to Declines in Timber Harvest: Case Studies in Oregon

Creator:: Krempl, Byron P.
Abstract:: Many counties in Oregon were historically dependent on federal timber harvests and associated revenue sharing programs. However, since federal policy changes in the late 1980s and early 1990s, federal timber harvests have decreased. These decreases in federal timber harvests translated to decreases in county revenue from the federal government, which...

Societal Responses to Using Genetic Engineering for Mitigating Chestnut Blight and Restoring American Chestnut Trees

Creator:: Petit, Joshua D.
Abstract:: Forests face health threats from pests and diseases (e.g., mountain pine beetle, emerald ash borer, chestnut blight [CB], Swiss needle cast), and other issues such as climate change. Interventions such as genetic engineering (GE) have shown promise for mitigating some of these threats. CB, for example, has impacted most American...

Overstory Growth, Structural Development, and Regeneration Success Following Uneven-Aged Conversion Treatments in Douglas-fir Plantation of the Cascade Range in Oregon

Creator:: Marcum, Sean R.
Abstract:: Uneven-aged management has been suggested as a method for balancing biodiversity conservation and wood production goals from managed forests in a variety of regions. In coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests of the Pacific Northwest, implementation of uneven-aged management is hindered by a lack of experience with uneven-aged silvicultural systems, including...
