Comparing Ectomycorrhizal Communities of Understory Giant Chinquapin (Chrysolepis chrysophylla) and Overstory Pinaceae Trees in a Mixed Conifer Forest in Central Oregon

Creator:: Longway, Lucas J.
Abstract:: Giant chinquapin (Chrysolepis chrysophylla) is an evergreen hardwood often found as a shrubby understory component of coniferous forests in the Pacific Northwest United States. Due to its ability to sprout quickly after disturbances such as fire and logging it is often viewed as a pest by forest managers. Like its...

Approaches for Characterizing Plant Physiological Responses to Environmental Stress

Creator:: Marias, Danielle E.
Abstract:: It is uncertain how predicted changes in climate will impact vegetation responses and plant species’ distributions because the physiological mechanisms underlying thresholds for damage are not well understood, and responses to stress vary by functional type and developmental stage. Thus, it is crucial to investigate physiological responses to heat and...

Physiological Responses of Loblolly Pine and Douglas-fir Seedlings from Various Provenances to Timing and Frequency of Drought Stress

Creator:: Mosel, Jamie E.
Abstract:: Drought is expected to increase in many parts of the world and has been shown to affect tree physiology and growth, with seedlings being particularly vulnerable. Seedling drought responses are often species dependent, and even within species different populations may demonstrate a spectrum of responses to drought, from susceptibility to...

Potential effects of the invasive grass Ventenata dubia on elk habitat selection within the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range

Creator:: Crum, Keren-happuch R.
Abstract:: The invasive annual grass ventenata (Ventenata dubia) has become an increasing problem within western rangelands. Forage quality of areas infested with ventenata is reduced as its high silica content makes it unpalatable to livestock and wildlife. In the following study, I examined whether significant presence of ventenata affects habitat use...

Tradeoffs and Synergies among Wild Ungulates, Early Successional Plant Communities and Management Intensification in Forest Plantations of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Stokely, Thomas D.
Abstract:: As the global demand for natural resources increases, more land will be intensively managed for the production of commodities such as timber, with potential consequences to biodiversity, ecological functioning and ecosystem services provided to society. Although there is strong consensus that intensive land management practices can negatively affect biodiversity, less...

Balancing Timber Production and Conservation in the Oregon Coast Range: an Examination of the Response by Birds and Bird-induced Ecosystem Services to Forest Management at Multiple Scales

Creator:: Harris, Scott H.
Abstract:: Society derives many critical and irreplaceable values from forests. With a growing global human population and rates of consumption, forests are under increasing pressure to provide all these values simultaneously. To meet societal demands for wood products, tree plantations are becoming increasingly common and are replacing native forests. Yet, forests...

Stream Temperature and Autotrophic Responses to Riparian Canopy Gaps Over Forested Headwater Streams

Creator:: Swartz, Allison
Abstract:: Across much of North America, legacies of historic and contemporary timber harvest have created a landscape dominated by regenerating forest stands in the early to middle stages of development. Most streamside forests are currently in the stem-exclusion phase of stand development and these closed canopies shade the forest understory and...

The use of remote sensing for characterizing forests in wildlife habitat modeling

Creator:: Vogeler, Jody C.
Abstract:: Spatially explicit maps of habitat relationships have proven to be valuable tools for conservation and management applications including evaluating how and which species may be impacted by large scale climate change, ongoing fragmentation of habitat, and local land-use practices. Studies have turned to remote sensing datasets as a way to...

Interactive effects of silvicultural herbicides and cervid herbivory on early seral plant communities of the northern Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Stokely, Thomas D.
Abstract:: Intensive forest management (IFM, dense conifer plantings and herbicide applications) may alter the characteristics of early seral plant communities that function as major habitat resources for a host of wildlife species, including cervid herbivores such as Cervus elaphus and Odocoileus hemionus. Such large herbivores can also substantially affect plant community...

Experiments and Observations on How Changes in Riparian Forests Affect Light and Stream Ecosystems

Creator:: Swartz, Allison G.
Abstract:: Riparian zones are ecotones between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Processes in streams are strongly influenced by riparian forest communities, age, stage and structure. Temperate forests across much of North America, including riparian areas, are recovering from historic land clearing with many stands in the stem-exclusion phase of development in which...
