Seasonality as a driving factor of decomposition pathways in both meadows and forests : an exploration across a gradient of climate in Oregon

Creator:: Colby, Samantha E.
Abstract:: Soil food webs process the majority of terrestrial carbon, and influence overall ecosystem function. A primary distinction among soil food webs is based on fungal versus bacterial pathways of decomposition; these lead to fundamentally different soil function, and are expected to differ in dominance between meadows and forests. This assumption...

Diagnosis and Etiology of a Soilborne Disease Complex of Winter Squash (Cucurbita maxima) in the Willamette Valley, OR

Creator:: Rivedal, Hannah M.
Abstract:: Winter squash (Cucurbita maxima) grown in Oregon’s Willamette Valley for edible seed, frozen foods, and fresh markets is susceptible to an undiagnosed soilborne disease. Diseased squash fields exhibit symptoms of stunting, root and crown rot, vascular discoloration, and late-season wilt, which in extreme cases can lead to total crop failure....

An investigation of vegetation : hydrology interactions in watershed 1 at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:: Bredensteiner, Kim C.
Abstract:: For management purposes, it would be useful to be able to predict streamflow response to forest practices in small, unmonitored basins. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the influence of early successional vegetation on summer streamflow levels. The long-term data records from watershed 1 at the H.J....

Comparison of the water relations characteristics of woody plants in western Oregon

Creator:: Davis, Kent J.
Abstract:: I studied the water relations traits, twig conductivity, C'3 isotopic composition, and wood density of three conifer and five angiosperm species in western Oregon. This study took place from spring 2002 to fall 2003 on four sites. Species were selected to represent the diversity of drought tolerance of woody plants...

Variation of drought resistance and root regeneration among genotypes of Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana)

Creator:: Sharpe, Jodie M.
Abstract:: Drought resistance among genotypes of Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (A. Murr.) Pan., Cupressaceae) seedlings was evaluated both in the field and in the greenhouse. Field water potentials (Ψ) of 5-year-old seedlings were measured at two high-elevation plantation sites where summer drought occurs. Measurements of Ψ were compared to survival two years...

The phytoplankton and limnological characteristics of Lago Rupanco, Osorno, Chile

Creator:: Donoso, Teresa G.
Abstract:: Lago Rupanco is located in the central plain of Chile (Borgel, 1964) at 40° 50' S; 72° 30' W. It lies at 117 m above sea level, and corresponds to type 28c of Hutchinson's (1967) classification. Lago Rupanco is a warm, monomictic lake, with winter circulation and summer stratification. Physical,...

Forecasting Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides foot rot of winter wheat

Creator:: Grybauskas, Arvydas P.
Abstract:: The use of fungicides for the control of foot rot of winter wheat, caused by Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides (Fron) Dei., requires a forecast of disease risk to optimize this management practice ecologically and economically. Foot rot occurs in both the mild, wet (100+ cm, ppt./year) annual cropped areas in western Oregon,...

Conservation of Sidalcea nelsoniana through habitat management : effects of burning, mowing, and altered flooding regime on a rare Willamette Valley perennial

Creator:: Bartels, Marilynn R.
Abstract:: Active habitat management plays a key role in the preservation of native ecosystems and rare species, especially in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where natural succession to woodlands threatens the few wetland prairies remaining after 150 years of agriculture and urbanization. Sidalcea nelsoniana, listed as threatened under the federal Endangered...

Response to fenamiphos, extraction techniques and population dynamics of Pratylenchus penetrans on western Oregon red raspberry

Creator:: Lolas, Mauricio
Abstract:: The effects of fenamiphos on soil and root populations of Pratylenchus penetrans were evaluated in four red raspberry cv. Willamette fields in Northwestern Oregon. Field 1 was a silty clay loam with 53% organic matter (OM). Field 2 and 3 were silty loam soils with 3.25 and 2.55% OM, respectively...
