In 1982 a protohistoric archaeological site along the Applegate River in southwest Oregon was excavated by Oregon State University Department of Anthropology. Three housepits and a possible menstrual but were uncovered with lithic, faunal, and archaeobotanical elements recovered from house floors and hearths. Seven botanical taxa were represented by carbonized...
The purpose of this study was to develope a plant community classification
within the Siskiyou mountains, a small range within the Klamath
geological province well known for its geologic and floristic diversity.
Forest land managers have expressed the need for identification of
basic Land classes that will aid in the...
A study was made of the subgenus Genuini of the genus Juncus in the Pacific States, California, Oregon and Washington. Extensive morphological comparisons, geographical distributions, habitat differences and observations of apparent presence or absence of natural hybrids provided the major data sources. Cytological studies were made, but were inconclusive. Eleven...
Ecological factors associated with the relictual distribution of
the endemic shrub Kalmiopsis leachiana (Ericaceae) were investigated.
A prostrate evergreen species with small coriaceous leaves,
K. leachiana is restricted to two disjunct populations in the Siskiyou
Mountains and southern Cascade Mountains of southwestern Oregon,
USA. Exact distributions of individual populations were...
A biosystematic investigation was undertaken in 15
species and three subspecies of the genus Aster, in western
North America. Previous studies had been based entirely on
external morphological features, and it was believed that
much could be learned about the natural affinities of the
taxa by exploring their cytological and...
A taxonomic investigation was made of 24 taxa belonging
to the section Trichodium (Michx.) Trin., of
Agrostis, and the genus Podagrostis. Experimental methods
were employed, including: uniform garden culture of transplants
and plants grown from seeds collected in natural
populations; breeding studies; physiological and phenological
investigations; cytological studies; ecological
studies...
