Survival and growth of Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine during eight years of whiteleaf manzanita and herb competition in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Funez, Atilio Ortiz
Abstract:: This thesis examines the 8-year growth trend of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (mirb.)Franco), ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex laws.), and whiteleaf manzanita (Arctostaphylos viscida Parry). Manzanita stands ranging from 1700/ha to 27000/ha density were grown among mixed conifers of the same age, which were planted in 1981 at 250x250 cm...

Seedling response to vegetation management in northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Lindsay, Amanda A.
Abstract:: Northeastern Oregon geology and climate provides moderately productive conditions for forest management and timber production. Although site preparation and planting are commonly used silvicultural practices, little research exists on the efficacy of specific forest herbicides and responses of seedling survival and growth in this region. This research seeks to improve...

Competitive interactions between Douglas-fir or ponderosa pine and whiteleaf manzanita

Creator:: White, Diane E.
Abstract:: Juvenile Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine, and whiteleaf manzanita growth in southwest Oregon varied with density of co-developing manzanita and presence of herbaceous cover. Plant xylem pressure potential and stomatal conductance of each species was responsive to competition-induced depletion of soil water. Rates varied among species. The best correlations with growth usually...

Geographic variation in central Oregon ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) : seed germination; seed, wing, and cone morphology; seed color

Creator:: Weber, John C., 1948-
Abstract:: Geographic variation was investigated among 225 locations from five geographically disjunct regions in central Oregon. Characters included: germination speed and uniformity in two test environments differing in stratification period and incubation temperature; weight, three dimensions and three 'angles' of seeds; weight and three dimensions of wings; cone length and scale...

Genetic variation and mating system of ponderosa pine in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

Creator:: Gooding, Geoffrey David
Abstract:: The population genetic structure of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougi.) in the Willamette Valley of Oregon was investigated. Cones were collected from native stands of ponderosa pine from the Willamette Valley, eastern Oregon, southwest Oregon and the Puget Sound Basin of Washington. Seeds were subjected to isozyme analysis of 12...

Climate-growth relationships of western juniper and ponderosa pine at the pine-woodland ecotone in southern Oregon

Creator:: Knutson, Kevin C.
Abstract:: Pinyon-juniper woodlands throughout the western U.S. have expanded rapidly following European settlement during the late 19th century. In central and eastern Oregon, western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis var. occidentalis Hook.) encroachment has been previously documented in the sagebrush steppe and upper elevation aspen communities. While these vegetation changes and dynamics have...

Long-term effects of prescribed fire on nitrogen availability in ponderosa pine stands in central Oregon

Creator:: Monleon-Moscardo, Vicente J.
Abstract:: The effects of prescribed burning on the rates of recent litter decomposition, nitrogen and phosphorus release from litter, soil total and inorganic nitrogen pools, and net nitrogen mineralization were determined in ponderosa pine sites that had been burned 0.3, 5 or 12 years earlier. Prescribed burning decreased litter decomposition rates...

Response of ponderosa pine forests in central Oregon to prescribed underburning

Creator:: Landsberg, Johanna Dobrot
Abstract:: Tree growth and soil nutrient responses to prescribed underburning were determined for a period of up to 12 years at four sites in northcentral and central Oregon ponderosa pine stands (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws). Differences reported are significant at a = 0.10. During the first 4-growing-season-measurement period after underburning,...

The effects of mechanical and chemical site preparation on ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) and lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud.) performance, associated vegetation, and soil properties in southcentral Oregon eight years after planting

Creator:: Ross, Darrell W.
Abstract:: The effects of six alternative site preparation treatments were compared at three different sites in southcentral Oregon. Treatments included a logged-only control, ripping, brushblading, disking, chemical, and chemical followed by disking. Subplots containing ponderosa pine bareroot (2+0) and containerized (1+0) and lodgepole pine containerized (1+0) seedlings were also included in...

Performance of Pinus ponderosa seedlings in clearcuts, patch cuts and undisturbed forests on lavas

Creator:: Hutten, Martin A. B.
Abstract:: The survival, growth, foliar nutrient status, ectomycorrhiza (EM) colonization, and associative N-fixation of ponderosa pine seedlings (Pinus ponderosa var. ponderosa Doug!. ex Laws.) were studied under different gap sizes in forest canopy during the first growing season. Seedling performance variables were assessed relative to gap size of the forest canopy...
