Applications of Soil Science in Forest Landscape Planning : Challenges and Opportunities in the 21st Century

Creator:: Craigg, Terry Lee
Abstract:: Soils and other resource programs in both public land management agencies and private industry are continually being adapted to the challenges of evolving knowledge and experience in the field of forestry. This dissertation explores new ways of thinking about and using soils information in forest planning and management, with a...

Political Ideology and Environmental Concern as Predictors of Attitudes toward Forest Management Practices in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Arnold, Molly L.
Abstract:: Few studies examine whether public attitudes toward forest management practices differ between public and private forests, with virtually no recent studies examining these differences in the Pacific Northwest, despite the coexistence of millions of acres of both public and private forest lands. Knowing whether public attitudes differ between public and...

Functional profiles of soil microbial communities in second-growth Douglas-fir forests of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: McGinnis, Megan L.
Abstract:: Forests are one of the largest repositories of terrestrial C. Understanding factors that drive organic matter transformations and nutrient efflux from these systems is therefore highly important. Temperate forests are of particular significance due to the large fraction of C that is stored below ground in the soil. Characterizing nutrient...

Responses of Pacific Northwest prairies to soil nutrient manipulations : implications for restoration of Castilleja levisecta and control of invasive species

Creator:: Lawrence, Caitlin E.
Abstract:: Pacific Northwest prairies have become significantly reduced in extent, and in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, less than one percent of native upland prairies remain. Many species have been impacted by this extreme loss of habitat, including Castilleja levisecta (golden paintbrush), a threatened hemiparasitic forb species endemic to the Pacific...

Response of Soil Microbially Mediated Nutrient Cycling and Community Structure to Timber Harvest in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Danielson, Rachel E.
Abstract:: Forest harvest persists as one of the most globally important industries, and crucially provides raw wood products for both building and fuel materials. Mechanistically complex abiotic and biotic processes curb ecosystem recovery following timber harvest and it is of great importance to understand the effects of this practice on biogeochemical...

Sweet cherry orchard establishment in the Pacific Northwest : important considerations for success

Creator:: Long, L. E. (Lynn Edwards), 1953-, Kaiser, Clive, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Regularly producing sustainable yields of high-quality cherries is possible only where site and other conditions are near optimal. This publication summarizes factors to consider when establishing a cherry orchard including orchard economics, site selection and optimization, plant material, orchard design, fertilization and irrigation, and labor. Also lists additional resources.

Soil Solarization in Pacific Northwest Tree Seedling Nurseries: Effects on Soilborne Plant Pathogens, Soil Nutrients and the Soil Microbiome

Creator:: Weidman, Clara S.
Abstract:: Nursery and greenhouse products are economically important agricultural commodities for Oregon and Washington. Nursery crops including tree seedlings can be damaged or killed by soilborne plant pathogens, which can be challenging to manage because of their persistence in soil and limited options for control. Soil solarization is a pre-planting soil...

Refining a more complete theory of environment, safety, and health management strategy using case studies

Creator:: Maxwell, Elisabeth D.
Abstract:: Environment, safety and health (ESH) research has a strong tradition of conducting research in manufacturing to improve workplace ESH conditions and has tied its management strategy and technical practices to many significant priorities: illness and injury prevention, environmental sustainability, corporate social responsibility, compliance with regulatory and insurance requirements, and dealing...

Pacific Northwest rangeland carbon sequestration

Creator:: Wiggins, Seth T.
Abstract:: This paper models the supply curve of carbon sequestration on Pacific Northwest rangelands. Rangeland managers have the ability to sequester carbon in agricultural soils by implementing alternative management practices on their farms. Their low adoption rate in practice suggests a high opportunity cost associated with their implementation. To increase their...
