  • Addressing Seedling Production Challenges for Hispaniolan Pine and Snowberry

    Creator:
    St. John, Christina M.
    Abstract:
    The use of native plants in restoration and afforestation has increased worldwide as their benefits to habitat quality, ecosystem services and local community well-being become widely known. In many restoration and afforestation sites, the most cost-effective and efficient way to establish plants is to use seedlings. Unfortunately, there is a...

  • Restoring Ponderosa Pine: Understanding Individual Tree Defenses, Disturbance Responses, and Resilience

    Creator:
    Johnson, Christal
    Abstract:
    The aim of this research was to provide forest managers and researchers with a better understanding of individual tree defenses and tree responses to disturbances, within a Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program area. Forest restoration often aims to increase stand-level resistance to uncharacteristic changes, and stand-level resistance begins with tree-level...

    Abstract:
    Natural resources are essential to humanity. With the increase in global development in recent decades, people must monitor the state of the environment, whose disturbance has a more significant impact on society than before. However, conventional environmental monitoring is challenged in highly dynamic ecosystems and large areas. As a solution,...

  • Host and Pathogen Contributions to the Populus–Sphaerulina Pathosystem

    Creator:
    Mondron Kyle T.
    Abstract:
    Sphaerulina musiva is a fungal pathogen that causes Septoria leaf spot and stem canker on susceptible Populus species and hybrids. In this thesis, host and pathogen contributions to Septoria stem canker disease were explored through: 1) a greenhouse study associating Septoria stem canker phenotypes with molecular markers from a genetic...

  • A Vision System for Automatic Dendrometry and Forest Mapping

    Creator:
    Wells, Lucas A.
    Abstract:
    In pursuit of global sustainability, forestry has witnessed significant shifts in practices and the development of new technologies and ideas. Primary and secondary processing industries have made substantial efforts to increase wood utilization rates, improve occupational safety and the working environment for humans, and have exhibited interest in procuring raw...

  • Fuel Treatment Longevity in the Blue Mountains of Oregon

    Creator:
    Morici, Kat
    Abstract:
    Wildland fires are an increasingly extensive, expensive, and frequent occurrence in dry forests of the western United States. Fuel reduction treatments are designed to reduce extreme fire behavior, promote resilient forest structure, and facilitate fire control efforts. Although there is widespread recognition that repeated treatments are needed to maintain desired...
