Evaluation of Methods for Applying Phosphorus, Potassium, and Boron Fertilizers in Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)

Creator:: Leon-Chang, David P.
Abstract:: Previous studies indicated that fertigating with nitrogen (N) was more effective than using granular N fertilizers in production of northern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). To build on these findings, four studies were conducted in western Oregon to determine whether fertigation was also an effective method for applying other nutrients,...

Evaluating Alternative Soil Amendments for Organic Northern Highbush Blueberry Cultivation in Sub-Optimal Soils

Creator:: Retano, Andrea
Abstract:: Escalating demand for organic blueberries has driven a significant expansion of northern highbush blueberry (NHB; Vaccinium corymbosum L.) production area. This expansion is particularly pronounced in regions of the Pacific Northwest where native soil conditions are sub-optimal for NHB, notably east of the Cascade Mountain Range of Oregon and Washington,...

Assessment of Feedstock Materials for Producing a Suitable and Cost-Effective Biochar to Use as a Soil Amendment for Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)

Creator:: Kumari, Pooja
Abstract:: Biochar is a highly porous, carbon-rich residue produced by thermochemical conversion (pyrolysis) of plant biomass and carbonaceous organic materials under oxygen-controlled conditions. Chars produced by this process tend to have high ion-exchange capacities and, when added to soil, increase retention of water and nutrients and improve soil aggregation, porosity, and...

Water management tools and irrigation strategies for blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry production in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Carroll, Jesse L.
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest region of the United States is known for quality production of blueberries, blackberries, and red raspberries. However, as the climate shifts to warmer, drier, and more extreme summers, growing these water intensive berry crops is becoming increasingly difficult. Furthermore, water regulations within agriculture are becoming more prevalent...

Effects of Novel Sulfur Applications for pH Management of Calcareous Soil in a New Planting of Organically Grown Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) in the Columbia Basin

Creator:: Gregory, Alexander D.
Abstract:: Organically certified Northern Highbush Blueberry (NHB; Vaccinium corymbosum L.) production in the Columbia Basin region of Oregon and Washington is expanding. Soils in the region are typically calcareous and highly alkaline, often requiring pH adjustment to an ideal range of 4.5–5.5 to support the establishment of the acid-loving, ericaceous crop....

Spatial Variation in Ecosystem Carbon Stocks and Emissions Resulting from Land-use Conversion: Two Studies in Mangrove Forests of the Dominican Republic

Creator:: Giovannoni, Leila R.
Abstract:: Mangrove forests store more organic carbon across ecosystem carbon pools than most other coastal and forested ecosystems, and are subject to high global rates of deforestation. For these reasons, they are recognized as prime candidates for inclusion in climate change mitigation strategies. However, the ecological drivers of regional and micro-scale...

Dilute Permanganate Preferentially Oxidizes Polyphenols Rather than Microbial Food: A Reinterpretation of a Common “Active Carbon” Measurement

Creator:: Christy, Isabel
Abstract:: “Active carbon” is a rapidly cycling soil organic carbon (SOC) fraction that acts as an energy and nutrient source for the microbial community. Dilute permanganate oxidation has been used to measure an “active carbon” fraction with the assumption that permanganate oxidation mimics enzymatic decomposition. Permanganate oxidizable carbon (PoxC) has become...

Exploring Alternative Approaches for Native Plant Production and Ecological Restoration in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Placido, Wilman M.
Abstract:: Global recognition of the need for ecosystem restoration and revegetation following natural and anthropogenic disturbances has been growing in recent years. Successful programs often depend on the use of nursery-grown seedlings and appropriate mitigation of limiting factors on outplanting sites. Nursery production of high-quality native plants for restoration can be...

The Impact of Freeze-Thaw Cycles to the Physical and Biogeochemical Properties of Alaskan Permafrost Soils

Creator:: Rooney, Erin C.
Abstract:: Arctic warming is exposing thawing permafrost to repeated freeze-thaw, a disruptive process that can alter soil biogeochemistry and physical structure. To investigate the impact of permafrost exposure to freeze-thaw, soil response was tested across three scales: 2.5 cm³ aggregates, a forested hillslope, and two sites at contrasting latitudes. XCT imaging...
