  • Analysis and prediction of patterns in lichen communities over the western Oregon landscape

    Creator:
    Peterson, Eric B.
    Abstract:
    The diverse lichen flora of the Pacific Northwest is being impacted by population growth and by forest management practices. Accumulating information about our lichen flora will improve our conservation strategies. This dissertation first collects information to improve our understanding of how lichen communities vary among forests of differing structure, and...

  • Shrub epiphyte communities in relation to stand management in forests of western Oregon

    Creator:
    Rosso, Abbey L.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation describes the epiphyte communities on tall shrubs in forests of western Oregon, with a focus on potential effects of management practices on these communities. Shrubs and other hardwoods have recently gained recognition as hotspots of diversity for epiphytes in young conifer forests of the region. Yet little is...

  • 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...

  • Using local climate to explain temporal variation in rare plant populations

    Creator:
    Pfingsten, Ian A.
    Abstract:
    Increased temperatures due to anthropogenic-induced climate change may raise the threat of extinction for taxa with sessile life histories (e.g., plants) in the near future. Linking climate change models to demographic models may provide useful insights into the potential effects of environmental changes on rare plants, and therefore aid in...
