Biology and chemistry of a meadow-to-forest transition in the Central Oregon Cascades

Creator:

Heichen, Rachel S.

Abstract:

In this study, biological and chemical characteristics were determined for two high-elevation meadow-to-forest transitions located in the Central Oregon Cascades. The chloroform fumigation incubation method (CFIM) was used to determine microbial biomass C(MBC) and the N flush due to fumigation (NF), and meadow values were compared to forest values for...

Drivers of variability in transpiration and implications for stream flow in forests of western Oregon

Creator:

Moore, Georgianne W.

Abstract:

I compared transpiration among different types of forest stands in the western Cascades of Oregon. The three major questions were: 1) How does transpiration compare between a young and old stand and why? 2) Does diversity of overstory trees affect transpiration? and 3) How is transpiration related to stream flow?...
