Drivers of Productivity Differences between Native and Exotic Range Douglas-fir Plantations in Oregon and New Zealand

Creator:: Gilson, Liam W.
Abstract:: In this thesis, we first examine the principle hypotheses behind the improved exotic growth of select timber species, and the evidence for each, with special focus on studies which examine growth between several ranges of a species. We find that literature suggests environmental factors directly tied to net primary production...

Modeling Tree Size Distribution in Young Douglas-fir Plantations to Facilitate Tree List Generation for Growth Model Initiation at Different Ages and under Differing Silvicultural Regimes

Creator:: Uranga, Martin
Abstract:: Two key challenges emerge when initiating individual-tree growth models for bare ground or very young plantations. Both involve the need for a list of individual trees with known or predicted size and known expansion factor (number of trees per unit of area represented by each tree). In the case of...

Dataset: Experimental evaluation of herbicide use on biodiversity, ecosystem services and timber production tradeoffs in forest plantations.

Creator:: Thomas D. Stokely
Abstract:: This dataset includes species richness of native plants, pollinators and birds as well as 13 proxies for ecosystem services representing timber production, culturally-valued plants and animals, and regulating services tied to forest productivity. The data were collected from an experiment conducted in the Oregon Coast Range USA that sought to...

Applications of slow-moving autonomous platforms for passive acoustic monitoring and density estimation of marine mammals

Creator:: Fregosi, Selene
Abstract:: Advances in mobile autonomous vehicles for oceanographic sensing provide new opportunities for passive acoustic monitoring of marine mammals. Acoustically equipped mobile autonomous platforms, including gliders, deep-water profiling floats, and drifting surface buoys can survey for a variety of marine mammal species over intermediate spatiotemporal scales. Additionally, such mobile platforms may...

Epidemiology, Etiology, Genetics and Predictive Surveillance Modeling of the Deer Chewing Louse Damalinia (Cervicola) Species

Creator:: Mortenson, Jack A.
Abstract:: A seasonal hair-loss syndrome of native deer began to occur in the Pacific Northwest United States in the mid-1990s. Clinical manifestations of the disease typically include large numbers of chewing lice on Columbia Black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) and Columbia White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus leucurus). Expenditure of energy responding to...

An Analysis of Nutrient Depletion in Douglas-fir Forests of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Siah, Kaveh G.
Abstract:: Nutrient limitation constrains tree growth in many managed forests. Nitrogen (N) is the most common limiting nutrient, but high N supply can shift limitation to other nutrients, particularly phosphorus (P) and the base cations calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). As different soil minerals have different capacities to supply...

Stags of the Sea or Hedgehogs of the Harbor? Inferring the Point of Sculpin Cranial Weaponry

Creator:: Buser, Thaddaeus J.
Abstract:: Animal weapons are thought to have evolved to compete for reproductive opportunities within a species. Across the diverse weapon-bearing taxa, several evolutionary trends have emerged: (1) increasing complexity and relative size across ontogeny, (2) sexual dimorphism, and (3) higher levels of random deviations from symmetry (i.e., fluctuating asymmetry) than non-weaponized...

Balancing Timber Production and Conservation in the Oregon Coast Range: an Examination of the Response by Birds and Bird-induced Ecosystem Services to Forest Management at Multiple Scales

Creator:: Harris, Scott H.
Abstract:: Society derives many critical and irreplaceable values from forests. With a growing global human population and rates of consumption, forests are under increasing pressure to provide all these values simultaneously. To meet societal demands for wood products, tree plantations are becoming increasingly common and are replacing native forests. Yet, forests...

Social Capital, Collaboration, and Participation: How Social Factors Impact Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) with a Case Study on Ouray, Colorado

Creator:: Weickhardt, Adrianna K.
Abstract:: Populated and developed areas at the fringes of or intermixed with undeveloped landscapes are referred to as the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). There are many unique benefits associated with living in the WUI that understandably attract people to move to them. However, there are also potential wildfire-related risks particular to...

Towards the Design and Evaluation of Effective Educational Virtual Reality Applications

Creator:: Rangarajan, Vaishnavi
Abstract:: With the rapid advancement of educational technology and the need for personalized, engaging content to accommodate diverse learning needs, Virtual Reality (VR) holds promises for the present and future. However, VR applications suffer from challenges, including usability concerns, lack of pedagogical value, and evaluation standards. This thesis focuses on two...

Life in a Rapidly Changing Environment: The Thermal Biology of the Red-sided Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis)

Creator:: Hubert, David L.
Abstract:: At a time when environmental conditions are rapidly changing, understanding how thermal extremes impact wildlife is imperative to fully understanding the consequences of climate change in natural ecosystems. While many organisms are currently impacted by rapidly warming and more erratic environmental conditions, identifying and investigating model species whose life histories...
