Overexpression of the GROWTH REGULATING FACTOR 4-GRF-INTERACTING FACTOR 1 Transcription Factor Chimera Modifies Transformation and Regeneration Efficiency in Populus and Eucalyptus

Creator:: Ryan, Nathaniel W.
Abstract:: Transformation is a major bottleneck for genetic engineering and gene editing in forest tree species. This includes most genotypes of Populus and Eucalyptus, which are some of the world’s most widely-cultivated genera of plantation forest trees. To provide new tools for transformation, I tested the transcription factor-protein chimera consisting of...

Plants and their Environment: Assessing Canopy Microclimate and the Response of Trees to Environmental Stress in a Diversity of Forest Types

Creator:: Sibley, Adam M.
Abstract:: The topics in this dissertation are centered around the way that trees respond to environmental stress in the climates where they occur. Though forests across the planet are expected to experience change in local climate due to historic and ongoing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, the effects of climate change will...

Differences in Evolutionary History and Ploidy Type Shape the Interactions of Populus tremuloides Michx. with Climate

Creator:: Greer, Burke Thomas
Abstract:: Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx) is a species with high phenotypic plasticity and a broad distribution that, in the last decade, has experienced climate stress-induced mortality called Sudden Aspen Decline (SAD). In order to help mitigate the effects of SAD in the future, we need a better understanding of aspen’s...

Spatial Patterns of Soil Moisture and the Relative Importance of Atmospheric Water Demand Versus Soil Moisture Availability in Limiting Late-summer Growth of Douglas-fir Under a Changing Climate

Creator:: Jarecke, Karla M.
Abstract:: The rapid pace of climate change is increasing tree mortality and highlighting the need to improve the mechanistic understanding of plant function under increased water stress. However, the processes that control soil moisture availability in steep mountainous terrain are poorly understood, as are the relative effects of atmospheric and soil...

Truth to Nature: The Art and Ecology of Hudson River School Painting

Creator:: Loeb, Harper
Abstract:: Beginning with the inception of American art history as a formal discipline in the 1940s, the dominant mode of interpreting nineteenth-century American landscape painting has been to view aspects of the landscape as symbols for grand cultural, religious, national, and moral narratives. While this method of interpretation highlights some key...

Exploring Alternative Approaches for Native Plant Production and Ecological Restoration in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Placido, Wilman M.
Abstract:: Global recognition of the need for ecosystem restoration and revegetation following natural and anthropogenic disturbances has been growing in recent years. Successful programs often depend on the use of nursery-grown seedlings and appropriate mitigation of limiting factors on outplanting sites. Nursery production of high-quality native plants for restoration can be...

Experiencing Restoration-Focused Forestry

Creator:: Dwyer, Michael
Abstract:: The practice of modern silviculture on U.S. public lands has been stymied by a legacy of litigation and policy changes since the late 20th century. Forestry in the 1980s was focused on physical science strategies and failed to consider the social complexities of multi-use forest management. Emblematic of the challenges...

Ecosystem Photosynthesis and Forest-Atmosphere Interactions Inferred from Carbonyl Sulfide

Creator:: Rastogi, Bharat
Abstract:: An increase in anthropogenic activities since the industrial revolution, primarily due to burning of fossil fuels and changes in land cover, has resulted in a steady increase in the global mean atmospheric CO2 concentrations. While there is unequivocal scientific evidence on global warming and its multidimensional impacts on natural and...

Impacts of Tree-species Composition and Diversity on Ecosystem Services in Plantations of the Coastal Pacific Northwest: Assessing Values, Trade-offs, and Synergies

Creator:: Himes, Austin
Abstract:: The objective of this dissertation was to examine trade-offs and synergies between multiple ecosystem services derived from plantation forests in the coastal Pacific Northwest. I accomplished this in five chapters. In the first chapter I provided background information for the study. In the next chapter I set the context for...

Supplemental Feeder Use by Free-Living Black-capped Chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) in a Mediterranean Climate

Creator:: Lajoie, Janel L.
Abstract:: The majority of households in the U.S., Great Britain, and Australia feed wild birds, and 53 million people in the U.S. spent more than $5 billion on bird food and feeding accessories in 2016. Given the massive scale over which it occurs, purposeful feeding of wild birds has the potential...
