Reproduction, demography, and habitat characterization of Astragalus peckii (Fabaceae), a rare central Oregon endemic

Creator:: Martin, Elizabeth F.
Abstract:: With little previous research on Astragalus peckii (Fabaceae), a state-listed Threatened species in Oregon, I investigated three facets of its biology which are integral to the conservation and management of the species. First, a four-year demographic study of two large populations revealed increasing population growth at one site (Chiloquin) and...

Ecology and biological control of an apomictic invasive plant, Chondrilla juncea (Asteraceae)

Creator:: Campanella, Donald M.
Abstract:: A study consisting of three parts was undertaken to investigate how variation in species interactions, population genetic structure, epidemiological parameters, and plant breeding system may influence the ecology and biological control of an apomictic invasive plant, Chondrilla juncea (Asteraceae). Interactions between natural enemy species may modify their net effect on...

Impacts of ponderosa pine forest restoration treatments on the ectomycorrhizal fungal community and fine root biomass in the Blue Mountains of Oregon

Creator:: Smith, Jane E. (Jane Elizabeth)
Abstract:: Before the arrival of Euro-Americans, the inland Pacific Northwest was settled by native people whose frequent intentional burning of the landscape promoted open stands dominated by large fire-resistant ponderosa pine. Fire suppression for nearly a century, livestock grazing, and logging of the largest trees has resulted in forests characterized by...

Characteristics of soil organic matter in two forest soils

Creator:: Crow, Susan E.
Abstract:: Soil organic matter (SOM) is the terrestrial biosphere's largest pool of organic carbon (C) and is an integral part of C cycling globally. Soil organic matter composition typically can be traced directly back to the type of detrital inputs; however, the stabilization of SOM results as a combination of chemical...

Role of GacSA Two-component System and Bacterial Surface Attachment in Pseudomonas syringae Virulence

Creator:: O'Malley, Megan R.
Abstract:: Pseudomonas syringae are plant pathogenic bacteria that cause disease by rapidly multiplying within the aboveground tissues of host plants. Growth of P. syringae within plant host tissues requires the disarmament of host immune defenses that limit microbial growth. To combat host defenses, P. syringae deploys a type III secretion system...

Interactive effects of stripe rust and plant competition in heterogeneous wheat populations

Creator:: Finckh, Maria Renate
Abstract:: Disease has been implied as an important selective force acting in plant populations. This study was conducted to determine the effects of stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis) on the population dynamics of wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivar mixtures. Five wheat cultivars were grown in pure stands and all possible mixtures at three...

Permineralized Mesozoic Moss Gametophytes and their Implications for Bryophyte Evolution

Creator:: Bippus, Alexander C.
Abstract:: Mosses (Phylum Bryophyta) are widely considered to be among the most ancient groups of land plants (embryophytes) and they are the second most speciose embryophyte phylum with ~13,000 extant species. Despite their diversity and antiquity, mosses have a limited fossil record, which primarily consists of gametophytes entombed in Cenozoic amber....

Seed and seedling ecology of Artemisia tridentata in a restoration context

Creator:: Wijayratne, Upekala C.
Abstract:: The semi-arid sagebrush steppe ecosystem is one of the largest biomes in North America. The steppe provides critical habitat and forage for wildlife and is economically important to recreation and livestock industries. However, the ecosystem is threatened primarily due to several negative effects associated with expansion of the exotic annual...

New perspectives on evolutionary relationships within Pinus (Pinaceae) and within subsection Ponderosae (subgenus Pinus)

Creator:: Willyard, Ann Nachreiner
Abstract:: A fossil-calibrated phylogenetic framework based on exemplars from each of the four taxonomic sections within Pinus was created using multiple nuclear and chloroplast loci. Calibration at the well-defined subgeneric split within Pinus with either fossil leaves and cones (ca. 45 million years ago) or fossil wood (ca. 85 million years...
