Epiphytic macrolichens in relation to forest management and topography in a western Oregon watershed

Creator:: Berryman, Shanti D.
Abstract:: This dissertation describes patterns in epiphytic macrolichen community composition, diversity, and biomass across various stand types in the Blue River watershed of western Oregon. It first examines the relative importance of ecological factors such as stand age, remnant tree retention, and topography to lichen communities in the landscape. It then...

Willamette Valley Prairie Restoration : The Native Seed Network and Sidalcea

Creator:: Lambert, Joshua K.
Abstract:: My internship was conducted with the Native Seed Network program within the Institute for Applied Ecology, a non-profit organization located in Corvallis, whose focus is education, applied research and active restoration and of native ecosystems. My internship goals were to increase my experience in applied restoration ecology and conservation biology...

Castilleja and Pedicularis are confirmed as telial hosts for white pine blister rust in whitebark pine ecosystems of Oregon and Washington

Creator:: Mulvey, Robin L.
Abstract:: The primary objective of this research was to determine if native species within the genera Castilleja and Pedicularis are naturally infected by white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola) in whitebark pine ecosystems of the Oregon and Washington Cascade Range. Secondary objectives were to monitor the phenology of aecial and telial...

The influence of prescribed fire on the rare endemic plant Delphinium pavonaceum (Peacock larkspur)

Creator:: McKernan, Brie-Anne
Abstract:: In the wetland prairie of William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge (FNWR) in western Oregon, we investigated the response of Delphinium pavonaceum Ewan (peacock larkspur, Ranunculaceae), an endangered perennial forb, to four unreplicated dormant season fire regimes of 0, 2, 4, or 10 fires that were applied over a 12-year...

Effect of iron on biological control of fire blight by Pseudomonas fluorescens A506

Creator:: Temple, Todd N.
Abstract:: Competitive exclusion has been the mechanism hypothesized to account for the biological control of fire blight disease of pear and apple by the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens A506 (A506). Recent laboratory assays demonstrated, however, that A506 produces an antibiotic that is toxic to the fire blight pathogen, Erwinia amylovora, when cultured...

Litter decay processes and soil nitrogen availability in native and cheatgrass-dominated arid rangelands

Creator:: Harrison, Kristen S.
Abstract:: As large-scale restorations of degraded rangelands are initiated, land managers need to understand how decades of dominance by the invasive annual grass, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.), have altered ecosystem processes. One way to assess such alterations is by observing differences in decay rates, since decomposition is determined by factors such...

Factors limiting the distribution of the sensitive lichen Usnea longissima in the Oregon Coast Range : habitat or dispersal?

Creator:: Keon, Dylan B.
Abstract:: The sensitive lichen Usnea longissima Ach., formerly a fairly common circumboreal species, has been extirpated from much of its range (e.g., Eastern Europe). Although the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) remains a relative stronghold for the species, U longissima faces increasing pressure in the region from habitat loss, air pollution, and...

Effects of single and multiple stressors on communities of wheat and wild oats

Creator:: Pfleeger, Thomas G.
Abstract:: Most plant toxicology tests developed in support of environmental laws use a single stress applied to an individual plant. While tests using individual species or stresses require fewer resources and are easier to interpret, they are under increasing criticism for being unrealistic and missing important ecological interactions. The objective of...

Relationships of exotic species and wildfire to the threatened plant Silene spaldingii

Creator:: Menke, Carolyn A.
Abstract:: In the canyon grasslands of Garden Creek Ranch Preserve in Idaho, where the threatened plant Silene spaldingii occurs and invasion by the exotic species Centaurea solstitialis and Bromus tectorum is proceeding rapidly, I examined environmental and community patterns of site invasion, and evaluated the apparent influence of invasion on Silene...
