The infection and colonization of Douglas-fir needles by the Swiss needle cast pathogen, Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii (Rhode) Petrak

Creator:: Capitano, Bryan R.
Abstract:: Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii is a pathogenic fungus on Douglas-fir needles which has become a serious threat to timber production in the last decade along the Oregon coast This research was undertaken to describe the general biology and pathology of F. gaeumannii on Douglas-fir needles and how environmental variables affect fungal development....

Effects of Phellinus weirii on plant community composition and succession of mature and old-growth Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Holah, Jennifer C.
Abstract:: Disease is often overlooked as a natural disturbance agent in plant communities. This study examines what effects, if any, a disease-mediated disturbance has on the plant community as a whole in old-growth and mature forests of western Oregon. Phellinus weirii (Murrill) Gilbertson (Family: Hymenochaetaceae) is a native root-rotting pathogen that...

Environmental factors influencing the rate of spread of Phellinus weirii (Murr.) Gilbertson in young-growth Douglas-fir

Creator:: Angwin, Peter A.
Abstract:: Studies to identify the environmental factors that influence the rate of ectotrophic mycelial growth of Phellinus weirii (Murr.) Gilbertson along Douglas-fir roots were undertaken both in the laboratory and in the field. The effects of soil pH, nitrogen, moisture, temperature, microorganisms and bulk density were investigated. In the lab, the...

Pathogenesis and intertree transmission of Verticicladiella wageneri in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)

Creator:: Hessburg, Paul F.
Abstract:: Verticicladiella wageneri Kendr. is a vascular wilt pathogen of Douglas-fir in the Pacific Northwest, The disease is characterized by black staining of colonized sapwood; crown symptoms are those typical of a wilting syndrome. Histopathological studies revealed that the pathogen is limited to the xylem but causes vascular dysfunction in both...

Biology and control of Fusarium spp. on Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)

Creator:: Hoefnagels, Mariëlle Henriette, 1965-
Abstract:: Fusarium spp. are among the most important pathogens of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) seedlings in bareroot nurseries. Currently the most effective disease control method is soil fumigation with methyl bromide. As methyl bromide is phased out, however, other disease management strategies may become more important. We explored two alternative approaches to...

Decay caused by infection of Fomes cajanderi Karst : in top-broken, young-growth Douglas-fir trees

Creator:: Cahill, James M.
Abstract:: A glaze storm of exceptional severity was seen in the Corvallis area, January, 1942. The weight of ice that accumulated in the crowns of young-growth Douglas-fir trees caused widespread top breakage in many stands lying in the broad path of this storm. Early research on this phenomenon showed the majority...

Phylogenetics, population genetics, molecular epidemiology, and pathogenicity of the Douglas-fir Swiss needle cast pathogen Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii

Creator:: Winton, Loretta M.
Abstract:: A hierarchical series of studies, based mainly on molecular data, was conducted to elucidate the life history of the Douglas-fir Swiss needle cast pathogen Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii at macro- and micro-evolutionary scales. This information was then utilized to design and evaluate molecular diagnostic tools for use in studies on the epidemiology...

Tree vigor and the susceptibility of Douglas-fir to armillaria root disease

Creator:: Rosso, Pablo H.
Abstract:: The main objective of this thesis was to determine the influence of tree vigor on susceptibility to Armillaria root disease. First, the effect of thinning, fertilizing and pruning on tree vigor of four young Douglas-fir (Pseudo tsuga menziesii var. menziesi,) plantations was explored. Tree vigor was calculated by measuring wood...

Fungal and bacterial associations in heart rots of Abies concolor (Gord. and Glend.) Lindl. and techniques for estimating damage in southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Aho, Paul E.
Abstract:: Infection courts for microorganisms invading white fir heartwood were determined to be primarily branches and basal wounds. Of 11 hymenomycetes isolated from infected trees, only four: Echinodontiurn tinctorium, Phellinus chrysoloma, Pholiota adiposa, and Hericium abietis were of major significance in terms of frequency of infection and damage caused. Two or...

Forest structure and regeneration in the Tsuga heterophylla - Abies amabilis transition zone, central Western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Stewart, Glenn H.
Abstract:: The dynamics of stands in the mid-elevation old-growth Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests of the central western Oregon Cascade Range were investigated using stand structure analysis. Trees with different growth rates were commonly present in the same stand, which resulted often in a weak correlation between tree diameter and age. Thus,...
