Yosemite region nitrogen deposition and patterns in the composition of lichen communities

Creator:: Hutten, Martin
Abstract:: This dissertation describes patterns in epiphytic macrolichen community composition along a nitrogen deposition gradient in the Yosemite region of the Sierra Nevada in California. This region is part of the largest federal air quality Class 1 designated air-shed in the western United States, covering the entire crest of the Sierra...

Bioindication of air quality in forests of northern and central California using epiphytic macrolichen communities

Creator:: Jovan, Sarah
Abstract:: The unifying purpose of this dissertation was to describe, model, and map relationships between epiphvtic macrolichen communities and air quality in Ibrests of northern and central California. First, multivariate analyses were used to subdivide the large study area into three model areas with similar climate, topography, and lichen communities: the...

Non-target Effects of Biological Control: Ecological Risk of Tyria jacobaeae (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) to Senecio triangularis (Asteraceae) in Western Oregon

Creator:: Rodman, Madison G.
Abstract:: Non-target effects are one of the greatest potential risks of weed biological control programs, and understanding non-target effects of biological control at the population level is crucial for predicting when they will occur and altering the perception of biological control as a whole. In this thesis, we assessed the ecological...

Escape in Time: Phenology Mitigates Impacts of the Introduced Cinnabar Moth, Tyria jacobaeae, on Native Herb Senecio triangularis in Western Oregon

Creator:: Lunde, A. Katarina
Abstract:: Classic biological control can be a powerful option for those tasked with managing biological invasions; however, some biocontrol releases lead to non-target attack – feeding, damage or development on species other than the target species. The cinnabar moth, Tyria jacobaeae L. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) was introduced to Western Oregon as a...

Interactions between nitrogen, phosphorus, and molybdenum in forest soils and cyanobacterial lichen in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Marks, Jade A.
Abstract:: Molybdenum is an essential component of biogeochemical cycling, most notably as a component of the nitrogenase enzyme used in biological nitrogen (N) fixation. While the important role of phosphorus (P) in limiting N fixation in ecosystems has been well documented, occurrence and prevalence of molybdenum (Mo) limitation is largely unknown....

An Interdisciplinary-Botanical Perspective for Cultural Resource Management: A Definition and the Application of Culturally Significant Plants in Identification, Interpretation, and Evaluation for the National Register of Historic Places

Creator:: Burk, Rene F.
Abstract:: Cultivated plants are often living artifacts that can aid in evaluation of historic or cultural landscapes. However, a working definition for “culturally significant plant” is currently lacking in the guidance literature for the cultural resource management practitioners. Based on a review of the literature on cultivated plants as indicators of...

Insights into Novel Non-Fumigant Nematicides: Physiological and Cellular Responses of Meloidogyne Incognita and Other Plant-Parasitic Nematodes

Creator:: Wram, Catherine L.
Abstract:: Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) pose a severe threat to crop production with the economic losses due to nematode parasitism in excessive of US$ 80 billion each year. Meloidogyne incognita, a globally distributed pest with a diverse host range, contributes significantly to this economic loss. The most reliable way to manage PPN...

Landscape Genomics and Climatic Responses of Willamette Valley Alders

Creator:: Kral, George L.
Abstract:: The climate of the Pacific Northwest is in flux, and existing forest ecosystems are stressed and poised to shift in fundamental ways, with or without human intervention. This dissertation probes the nature of forest responses to environmental change through investigations of morphology and genetics of three species of alder co-occurring...

Systematic, genomic, and transcriptomic analysis of mycoparasitic Tolypocladium species and their Elaphomyces hosts

Creator:: Quandt, C. Alisha
Abstract:: Fungi in the genus Tolypocladium are diverse in their host associations, but the predominant ecologies include parasites of the ectomycorrhizal genus Elaphomyces and pathogens of insects. The aim of this dissertation research is to examine the evolution of these fungi and their host associations. To accomplish this several lines of...
