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...

Impacts of ponderosa pine forest restoration treatments on the ectomycorrhizal fungal community and fine root biomass in the Blue Mountains of Oregon

Creator:: Smith, Jane E. (Jane Elizabeth)
Abstract:: Before the arrival of Euro-Americans, the inland Pacific Northwest was settled by native people whose frequent intentional burning of the landscape promoted open stands dominated by large fire-resistant ponderosa pine. Fire suppression for nearly a century, livestock grazing, and logging of the largest trees has resulted in forests characterized by...

Impact of raspberry bushy dwarf virus, raspberry leaf mottle virus, and raspberry latent virus on plant growth and fruit crumbliness in red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) 'Meeker'

Creator:: Quito-Avila, Diego F.
Abstract:: The United States is the third-largest producer of raspberries in the world. Washington State leads the nation in red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) production. 'Meeker', the most grown red raspberry cultivar in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon and British Columbia, Canada) is highly susceptible to Raspberry crumbly fruit, a virusinduced...

Trichoderma spp. : distribution in stumps infested with Phellinus weirii and growth and antagonism in vitro

Creator:: Goldfarb, Barry
Abstract:: To determine which isolates will most rapidly replace Phellinus weirii in stumps and roots, Trichoderma spp. were isolated from P. weirii-infested stumps and roots, identified, and examined for growth rates and lethal effects on P. weirii in vitro. Phellinus weirii-infested Douglas-fir stumps and stump roots were sampled for microorganisms by...

Chaparral history, dynamics, and response to disturbance in southwest Oregon : insights from age structure

Creator:: Duren, Olivia
Abstract:: Fuels management on Bureau of Land Management lands in SW Oregon, USA, is motivated by the needs to reduce fire hazard and restore ecosystems thought to be impacted by fire suppression. Chaparral is one of the most characteristic vegetation communities of SW Oregon's interior valleys, and extensive acreages within this...

Biosystematic studies of the Mimulus moschatus complex in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Meinke, Robert James
Abstract:: Populations of an unknown species of Mimulus, herein described as Mimulus hymenophyllus Meinke, were located and studied near Horse Creek, a tributary of the Snake River in eastern Wallowa County, Oregon. The new species is differentiated from its apparent closest relative, Mimulus jungermannioides Suksd., by an annual habit, long petioles,...

Characterization of fungal and bacterial communities associated with mat-forming ectomycorrhizal fungi from old-growth stands in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:: Hesse, Cedar N.
Abstract:: Mat-forming ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi represent a prevalent constituent of many temperate forest ecosystems and create dramatic changes in soil structure and chemistry. EcM mat soil have been shown to have increased microbial respiration rates and have been hypothesized to harbor unique assemblages of fungi and bacteria. The objectives of this...

Mediation of conifer root growth by mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth regulators

Creator:: Scagel, Carolyn F.
Abstract:: Many mycorrhizosphere microorganisms can produce plant growth regulating compounds in vitro. Plant growth regulating compounds are known to mediate root growth and development. In reforestation practices, conifer tree seedling growth and survival are linked to rapid root growth and development after outplanting. Multifactorial experiments were conducted to document variations in...

Ecology and reproduction in Collomia macrocalyx Brand (Polemoniaceae)

Creator:: Joyal, Elaine
Abstract:: Populations of Collom ia macrocalyx Brand were located and observed in order to determine the distribution, ecology, and reproductive biology of this species and probable relationships to other members of the genus. The purpose of the study was to obtain information that would explain the restricted range of the species...

Epidemiological insights into Armillaria mellea root rot in a managed Ponderosa pine forest

Creator:: Shaw, Charles G. (Charles Gardner) 1948-
Abstract:: Root rot of ponderosa pine caused by Armillaria mellea was studied in a pine forest that had been under management for 30 years in Klickitat County, Washington. Information sources included disease survey, detailed observation and description of specific disease situations, and examination of roots in situ and removed. Roughly circular...
