An Ecoregion-Based Reference Condition and Classification Scheme for Determining Nutrient Criteria in Oregon Lakes

Creator:: Brenner, Jacqueline M.
Abstract:: The anthropogenic introduction of nutrients to water bodies has been shown to alter the structure and function of natural aquatic ecosystems, yet national EPA lake and reservoir nutrient criteria remain too broad for effective regional water quality management. This study uses a reference site approach to propose numeric nutrient criteria...

Collaborative Neighborhood-Scale Sustainability Assessment and Planning using the Spatial Optimization for Urban Resource Conservation and Engagement (SOURCE) Tool : Applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process for Spatial Decision Support

Creator:: Gutierrez, Evan Erasmo
Abstract:: A fundamental problem that emerges during the planning of a city or neighborhood is how to prioritize sustainable development criteria and where to focus efforts. Solving this problem is a complex task requiring an integrated approach, which considers environmental, economic, and social criteria, as well as stakeholder preferences. Given the...

Effects of Secondary Salinization on Three Coastal Breeding Amphibians in Oregon: Taricha granulosa, Hyliola regilla, and Rana aurora

Creator:: Goddard, Amanda L.
Abstract:: Due to threats of secondary salinization caused by increased saltwater intrusion upstream associated with climate change, this thesis examines how salinity affects the development and oviposition site selection habits of three Oregon coastal breeding amphibians, the Roughskin Newt (Taricha granulosa), the Northern Red-legged Frog (Rana aurora) and the Pacific Treefrog...

Stability of Biochar Under Storage Conditions and Evaluating its Potential as a Carbon Sequestration Tool in the United States

Creator:: Rovero, Matthew
Abstract:: Biochar has shown promise as a soil amendment for improvement of agricultural and forest productivity, remediation of heavy metals, and sequestration of carbon, but has not yet been adopted for widespread use in any of these applications. By assessing the production potential as a carbon sequestration tool, and the stability...

A Trend Analysis of Nitrate in the Southern Willamette Valley Groundwater Management Area (GWMA)

Creator:: Piscitelli, Cody M.
Abstract:: The shallow aquifer in Southern Willamette Valley (SWV) has high levels of nitrate, and we are exploring the time trends in nitrate, and the hydrologic and land management factors that contribute to this problem. Nitrogen (N) inputs to farmland from fertilizer is thought to be the primary source of nitrogen...

A Climate of Risk: Modeled Vegetation, Carbon, Fire, and Biomass Loss Risk in Western Oregon and Washington under Climate Change

Creator:: Sheehan, Timothy J.
Abstract:: Managing wildlands to protect species and ecosystem services in response to climate change is challenging. To develop effective long-term strategies, natural resource managers need to account for the projected effects of climate change as well as the uncertainty inherent in those projections. Vegetation models are one important source of projected...

The great fires : Indian burning and catastrophic forest fire patterns of the Oregon Coast Range, 1491-1951

Creator:: Zybach, Bob
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between land management practices of Indian communities prior to contact with Europeans and the nature or character of subsequent catastrophic forest fires in the Oregon Coast Range. The research focus is spatial and temporal patterns of Indian burning across the...

Tracking Bacterial and Viral Shifts in Three Organisms to Shed Light on the Complex Role of Microbes in Coral Reef Health

Creator:: Messyasz, Adriana
Abstract:: Stony corals are the ecosystem engineers of the vital, dynamic, and complex marine ecosystem known as coral reefs. Globally, coral reefs are undergoing degradation from multiple anthropogenic stressors. Coral reef organism holobionts, or the host along with its microbial components, are key to reef ecosystem success and functioning. Marine microbes...
