  • Bright air : geoprocessing thermal imagery to map the nocturnal dynamics of the boundary layer in a mountain valley

    Creator:
    Johnson, Christopher
    Abstract:
    A thermal infrared (TIR) camera is used to remotely sense the foliage temperature in a mountain valley. The foliage temperature is used as a proxy for air temperature and can be used to study and map the dynamics of the nocturnal, weak-wind boundary layer in this valley. All radiative flux...

  • Characterizing grapevine canopy architecture

    Creator:
    Navarrete, Alejandra
    Abstract:
    Vertically shoot positioned (VSP) training systems are common in Oregon's Willamette Valley, where deep fertile soils and high regional precipitation task growers with curbing vegetative vigor within this system. Management strategies, such as canopy hedging and cluster-zone leaf removal, are used to improve microclimate within the canopy and around the...

  • Overstory density and disturbance impacts on the resilience of coniferous forests of western Oregon

    Creator:
    Neill, Andrew R.
    Abstract:
    A trait based approach was used to assess impacts of overstory density and thinning on understory vegetation components related to wildlife habitat. The relationship between overstory basal area and understory vegetation for species grouped by traits, such as production of flowers, fleshy-fruit and palatable leaves, was characterized in thinned and...
