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...

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...

Abstract:: In a field study, seedlings of Arizona pine (Pinus arizonica Engeim.), Apache pine (P. engelmannii Cam), and Durango pine (P. durangensis Mart.) were planted in an one open area and in canopy gaps of four forested sites of a pine-oak forest in the Sierra Madre Occidental in the state of...

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...

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...
