Climate-based Seed Deployment Zones for the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: McClure, Meridith L.
Abstract:: Native populations of forest trees are specifically adapted to the climates they inhabit. The farther trees are moved from their local climates (i.e., as the climatic transfer distance increases), the more growth and survival tend to decrease. The transfer limit is the climatic transfer distance beyond which plantation performance is...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: presence of insects and diseases in conjunction with seed transfer decisions

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...

Managing Douglas-fir Mortality: Case Studies from Western Oregon

Creator:: Campbell, Lewis
Abstract:: An increase in frequency and severity of hot, dry summers has been associated with a dramatic shift in the coniferous forests of western Oregon’s valleys, especially on the privately-owned properties along the low-elevation edges of these valleys. Various conifer species, including Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), are declining in these forests, leaving...

Douglas-fir Seedlings in the Pacific Northwest: The Genetics of Drought Adaptation

Creator:: Celer, Erda
Abstract:: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is a widely distributed, ecologically important, and commercially valuable tree species in North America. However, climate change is expected to adversely impact Douglas-fir trees, and assisted migration may become necessary to lessen the effects of climate change. Because drought stress is one of the projected effects of...

Biodiversity Responses in Early Seral Forests of the Klamath-Siskiyou: Comparisons with Birds, Bees, and Ground Beetles among Post-fire, Salvage Logging, and Intensive Forest Management Environments

Creator:: Frank, Graham S.
Abstract:: Early seral forests regenerating from stand-replacing disturbances provide unique habitat for many species in productive, temperate forest landscapes and contribute to supporting biodiversity. Population declines in some species associated with early seral forests have prompted concerns about the conservation of these habitats, particularly the characteristic structural and compositional complexity associated...

Invasive Plant Management Plan and Digital Tools for Big Sur Land Trust of Monterey County, California

Creator:: Nichols, Abby L.
Abstract:: An Invasive Plant Management Plan developed for Big Sur Land Trust, a non-profit conservation organization located on California's Central Coast, to guide its vegetation management activities and serve as a decision-support tool. The effort included the creation of a digital field data collection tool through Survey123 Connect, survey and data...

Bird Abundance and Microhabitat Associations with Oak Mistletoe in Willamette Valley Oak Woodlands

Creator:: Pritchard, Kyle R.
Abstract:: In the last 200 years there have been significant declines in the amount and structural complexity of oak-dominated forests and savannahs in the Pacific Northwest. Restoring oak systems often involves selectively thinning stands of oaks in order to reduce competition for sunlight. In choosing which trees to cut, land managers...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Impacts of Unsustainable Harvesting of Frankincense Producing Boswellia Trees

Creator:: Gonzalez, Krystal
Abstract:: The use of Boswellia tree’s fragrant resin, known as frankincense has been used in religious rituals and medicines for thousands of years. Those same uses have only increased in popularity throughout the world, and have made their way into western culture, where frankincense is a main ingredient in many skin...

Climate Change and Management Considerations for the Boreal Forest Zone

Creator:: Habeeb, Gabrielle A.
Abstract:: The boreal forest zone is located in the cool, high latitudes of the earth and represents approximately one third of the world’s remaining forested area. Maintaining the functional capacity of boreal forests is of global importance as they will both affect and be affected by climate change. Boreal forests can...

Karuk Stewardship of Xánthiip (black oak, Quercus kelloggii) in the Western Klamath Mountains: Development of an Ecocultural Monitoring Protocol

Creator:: Thoreson, Jessie
Abstract:: My thesis is an exploration of xánthiip (Karuk for black oak, Quercus kelloggii) restoration within the Karuk Tribe’s Ancestral Territory in present-day northwestern California. Black oak is a cultural keystone species for the Karuk and has been chosen as one of the species to guide Tribally led forest restoration work...
