Impacts of Swiss needle cast on Douglas-fir tree-ring stable isotopes and tree carbohydrate reserves

Creator:: Saffell, Brandy J.
Abstract:: Understanding the mechanisms of disease in forest pathology is a critical component to learning how to most efficiently manage tree diseases like Swiss needle cast (SNC). SNC is an economically important, fungal disease of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) that is prevalent in coastal areas of the Pacific Northwest. This...

Habitat Associations and Diet Composition of Western Purple Martins in Western Oregon

Creator:: Sherman, Lorelle M.
Abstract:: The western purple martin (Progne subis arboricola) is a species of conservation concern throughout the Pacific Northwest. In western Oregon, the purple martin nests in three major ecosystem types: inland open-water, coastal, and upland forest. The availability of suitable breeding habitat is a major limiting factor for western purple martin...

Assessment of the causal linkages between forests and fish: implications for management and monitoring.

Creator:: Martens, Kyle D.
Abstract:: Understanding the causal links between riparian forests, streams, and salmonids is important to help understand the likely effects of forest management practices. Previous studies have identified three major causal pathways (Instream Cover, Light, and Hydrology) through which riparian forests influence streams, and ultimately stream fishes. To evaluate the potential importance...

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...

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...

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...

An examination of climate and land-use change as drivers of population dynamics in breeding birds

Creator:: Kim, Hankyu
Abstract:: Anthropogenic land-cover change and climate change are the major drivers of the steep loss of avian biodiversity in past decades. Loss of avian biodiversity is predicted to result in the reduction of ecosystem services and ecological functions. Identifying avian population changes and the drivers of these trajectories is essential for...

Wading through Space and Time: Leveraging Geospatial Methods to Better Understand Recreation Behavior, Experience, and Impacts within a Densely Used Lake Destination

Creator:: Baker, Jenna T.
Abstract:: In the last decade, many U.S. parks and protected areas (PPA) experienced record breaking visitation levels. Managers of these PPAs face the challenging task of providing a range of quality and accessible outdoor experiences without compromising the integrity and health of surrounding ecosystems. Understanding how PPA visitors move and interact...

Forest Response to Water Availability and Disturbance in the Western United States

Creator:: Berner, Logan T.
Abstract:: Earth’s atmosphere is unequivocally warming due to CO₂ and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities and this is having widespread impacts on forest ecosystems that provide important services to human societies. Forest ecosystems help regulate atmospheric CO2 concentrations by sequestering carbon in tree biomass and soils, which is...

Mitigation Banks in Washington State: Case Study of Developing the Schold Farm Mitigation Bank

Creator:: Dadisman, Jennifer
Abstract:: Wetland habitats are disappearing at an alarming rate and research is finding that establishment and creation of wetland habitat is generally unsuccessful. Typical mitigation strategies in the past have created multiple small isolated wetlands with little functioning habitat. Within Washington State, guidance and research recommends utilizing mitigation banks to compensate...
