  • Autecology, reproductive ecology, and demography of Astragalus australis var. olympicus (Fabaceae)

    Creator:
    Kaye, Thomas N.
    Abstract:
    The goal of this study was to gather information on the autecology, reproductive ecology, and population dynamics of Astragalus australis var. olympicus as a baseline for conservation strategies and to help explain its restricted range. Approximately four thousand individuals occurred in four known population centers in the Olympic Mountains, Olympic...

  • Foliar respiration in an old-growth coniferous forest

    Creator:
    Cooper, Clifton E.
    Abstract:
    Foliar respiration forms a large component of the carbon balance of any coniferous forest. We examine seasonal, interannual, spatial and interspecific variation of foliar maintenance respiration in a forest in Washington, USA, with measurements made quarterly for >4 years on 400-year old trees of Pseudotsuga menziesii, Tsuga heterophylla and Thuja...

  • Responses of forest understory plants to burial by volcanic tephra from Mount St. Helens, Washington

    Creator:
    Antos, Joseph A.
    Abstract:
    The effects of burial by tephra (volcanic aerial ejecta) on forest understory plants were examined northeast of Mount St. Helens, Washington, in the area where the 18 May 1980 eruption deposited tephra but did not destroy canopy trees. At six sites along a tephra depth gradient from 2-15 cm, understory...

  • Fescue taxonomy in the Pacific coast states

    Creator:
    Wilson, Barbara L.
    Abstract:
    Accurate taxonomy is essential to preservation and management of native grasses. Four problems in fescue taxonomy were investigated: the identity of the native fescue that dominates western Oregon and Washington prairies, the relationship of native Festuca roemeri to closely related grasses, the status of F. howellii and F. washingtonica, and...

  • Conservation biology of Plagiobothrys hirtus (Boraginaceae) : evaluation of life history and population enhancement

    Creator:
    Amsberry, Kelly
    Abstract:
    Plagiobothrys hirtus (Boraginaceae) is a state and federally listed endangered plant found only in Douglas County, Oregon. This vernal pool endemic has historically been threatened by agricultural conversion of seasonal wetlands in the Sutherlin area, and is currently being eradicated as habitat is lost due to the rapid urban development...

  • Conservation genetics of Kincaid's lupine : a threatened plant of western Oregon and southwest Washington grasslands

    Creator:
    Severns, Paul M.
    Abstract:
    Kincaid's lupine (Lupinus oreganus Heller) is a federally listed threatened species native to remnant grassland of western Oregon and southwestern Washington, and is the primary larval host plant of a once thought extinct butterfly, Plebejus icarioides fenderi Macy. Past studies concerning Kincaid's lupine reproduction suggested that populations may suffer reductions...

  • The epidemiology of sudden oak death in Oregon forests

    Creator:
    Peterson, Ebba K.
    Abstract:
    The phytopathogen Phytophthora ramorum (Werres, DeCock & Man in't Veld), causal agent of Sudden Oak Death (SOD) of oaks (Quercus spp.) and tanoaks (Notholithocarpus densiflorus syn. Lithocarpus densiflorus), is established in coastal forests of the western United States. Since the discovery of SOD in the Douglas-fir / tanoak forests of...

    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...

  • 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...

  • Soil fungal hyphal dynamics and seasonal hypogeous sporocarp production in western Oregon Douglas-fir forests

    Creator:
    Hunt, Gary, 1945-
    Abstract:
    Total length and biomass of fungal mycelium in the soil of a young Douglas-fir stand in the central Oregon Coast Range were estimated over 27 months with the agar-film technique. In a second study, phenology and taxonomy of hypogeous (belowground) sporocarps were studied over 32 months in a nearby, young...
