Overexpression of the GROWTH REGULATING FACTOR 4-GRF-INTERACTING FACTOR 1 Transcription Factor Chimera Modifies Transformation and Regeneration Efficiency in Populus and Eucalyptus

Creator:: Ryan, Nathaniel W.
Abstract:: Transformation is a major bottleneck for genetic engineering and gene editing in forest tree species. This includes most genotypes of Populus and Eucalyptus, which are some of the world’s most widely-cultivated genera of plantation forest trees. To provide new tools for transformation, I tested the transcription factor-protein chimera consisting of...

Effects of Stage 0 treatment on spring Chinook juveniles within South Fork McKenzie River in Oregon

Creator:: Hahn, Aleah
Abstract:: Low-tech habitat restoration techniques, including Stage 0 treatments, are increasingly applied but often lack robust evaluation of their effects. In 2018, one kilometer of the South Fork McKenzie (SFMK) River, OR was modified to the Stage 0 condition for the benefit of ESA-listed Chinook by raising the incised channel to...

Estimating the Influence of the Urban Heat Island Effect on Housing Prices

Creator:: Hossain, Lima
Abstract:: Using summertime housing transactions data of 3,309 parcels from multiple years in Eugene-Springfield, OR, we present a hedonic price model to estimate the influence of the urban heat island (UHI) effect on housing prices in this metropolitan area. By taking advantage of the inherent random nature of summertime weather observations,...

An Observational Study of the Effects of Wildfire on Hermit and Varied Thrush Distribution in the Mt. Washington Wilderness Area

Creator:: Woodrich, Samuel T.
Abstract:: The hermit thrush (Catharus guttatus) and the varied thrush (Ixoreus naevius) are focal species for conservation of forested habitats in Oregon. Although habitat associations have been defined for both species, their response to changes in vegetation following wildfire has not been well studied. To help fill this information gap, I...

Assessing Post-fire Tree and Understory Vegetation Response to a Mixed-severity Fire Gradient in the Klamath Mts., Oregon, USA

Creator:: Terzioglu, Cihat
Abstract:: Severe wildfires are increasing in the western United States, impacting vegetation structure, and in turn, forest regeneration conditions. These wildfires are also raising a substantial amount of scientific and management concern regarding the resilience of forested ecosystems, or the ability of the ecosystem to return to a pre-fire condition. This...

Carbon storage in U.S. Pacific Northwest coastal dunes : the role of invasive beachgrasses and sand supply

Creator:: Stepanek, John
Abstract:: As global atmospheric carbon emissions continue to rise, scientists and land managers are increasingly looking to natural ecosystems to sequester and store carbon to buffer the impacts of climate change. Despite their small geographic size, many coastal ecosystems such as salt marshes, seagrass meadows, and mangroves sequester large amounts of...

Intercultural Competence and Cross-Cultural Co-Teaching: Exploring Native English-Speaker Experiences in Taiwan

Creator:: Pike, Jessie L.
Abstract:: The increasing focus on internationalization in Taiwan’s language-in-education policy has expanded the use of cross-cultural co-teaching pairs consisting of a native English-speaking teacher and a local non-native English-speaking teacher. While the model holds great potential for combining unique strengths, navigating cross-cultural communication in these co-teaching collaborations can be complex. This...

Carbon Sequestration Potential After Riparian Restoration—A Baseline Study of Carbon Stocks and Mycorrhizal Communities

Creator:: DiGioia, Guenevere E. P.
Abstract:: Increased atmospheric carbon emissions of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane acerbate climate change through carbon cycle disruption. Riparian areas offer substantial ecosystem services such as water filtration, slowing and cooling, and as is being discovered, a significant carbon sink. Total percent carbon and carbon stocks in restored riparian areas...

Near-contact Grasping Strategies: Improve Robotic Grasping from Awkward Poses with Deliberate Finger Motion

Creator:: Ong, Yi Herng
Abstract:: As robots are becoming more relevant to our lives, they are still having hard time accomplishing simple tasks such as picking and lifting. Problems that include environmental constraints, pose uncertainties and hardware noises restrain robots for grasping an object successfully from a perceivable environment. Many have looked into finding best...

Use of Landscape Characteristics to Quantify Hybridization Risk Between Native and Introduced Salmonids

Creator:: Manning, Michael A.
Abstract:: The introduction of non-native species can negatively impact native species through reduced genetic fitness resulting from hybridization. The lack of spatiotemporal data of hybrids occurrences makes assessing hybridization risk difficult. Here, I developed a spatially-explicit GIS Hybridization Risk Model (HRM) between native ESA-listed Bull Trout and introduced Brook Trout by...
