Nitrogen fixation by Purshia tridentata : some ecological aspects and root nodule anatomy

Creator:: Dalton, David Andrews
Abstract:: This study examines several aspects of nitrogen fixation by Purshia tridentata (Pursh) D. C., a rosaceous shrub widespread in the central Oregon pumice region, especially as an understory species in Pinus ponderosa and Pinus contorta forests. Anatomical studies of root nodules under the light microscope revealed strong similarities to other...

The relation of soil characteristics to growth and distribution of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana and Thuja plicata in southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Imper, David Kimberly
Abstract:: Twelve plots at six sites in southwestern Oregon were studied to determine the degree to which various soil characteristics are related to the occurrence and growth of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana and Thuja plicata. Soil profiles and vegetation were described in each plot, and measurements were made of insolation, soil and litter...

Growth and reproductive ecology of Larix laricina in interior Alaska

Creator:: Brown, Kevin R.
Abstract:: Larix laricina in Alaska occurs on sites ranging from productive slopes and riverbottoms to wet bogs underlain by permafrost. It is largest on sites without permafrost, where it is associated with Picea glauca, but is much more common in bogs, where it occurs with Picea mariana. In this study, I...

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...

Ecology of Corydalis aquae-gelidae, a rare riparian plant

Creator:: Goldenberg, Douglas M.
Abstract:: Corydalis aquae-gelidae is a large herbaceous perennial in the Fumariaceae that has high habitat specificity. It is endemic to the western Cascade Range of Oregon and Washington, almost entirely on the Mt. Hood and Gifford Pinchot National Forests. It is a federal C2 candidate under the Endangered Species Act and...

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...

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...

Comparative water relations of Abies grandis, Abies concolor and their hybrids

Creator:: Yoder, Barbara J.
Abstract:: Comparisons were made of the tissue water relations, stomatal conductance and growth of grand fir (Abies grandis), white fir (Abies concolor) and their hybrids growing in a western Oregon plantation. The grand fir were naturally-regenerated trees native to the study site. White fir and hybrids were the progeny of controlled...
