Synecology of the white-oak (Quercus garryana Douglas) woodlands of the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Thilenius, John F., 1931-
Abstract:: Quercus garryana dominated plant communities are found in the interior coastal valleys and on foothills from southeastern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, south to San Francisco, California. They occur as savannas, intermixed with a variety of conifers, and in almost pure stands. The diversity of habitats occupied by the species and...

Determinants of microbial community structure and substrate utilization potential in soils of vegetable cropping systems

Creator:: Schutter, Mary E.
Abstract:: The Oregon Long-Term Soil Quality Project was initiated to identify soil properties that respond rapidly to alternative management practices. Such practices included winter cover cropping, which was implemented at two experimental research stations and several grower fields throughout the Willamette Valley. The goal of this thesis was to identify the...

Multiscale relationships of wintering birds with riparian and wetland habitat in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R.
Abstract:: Relatively little is known about wintering bird communities in lowlands of the Pacific Northwest, yet, the condition of winter habitats potentially can pose a major constraint on bird populations. I initiated a study to determine: (1) Which avian species use lowland riparian and wetland habitats in the Willamette Valley during...

Influence of wetland landscape structure of shorebirds wintering in an agricultural valley

Creator:: Taft, Oriane Williams
Abstract:: Understanding how wetland birds use habitat is pivotal to developing successful and beneficial conservation strategies. Although it has been an ardent topic in forest research for some time, how species interact with the spatial patterning of habitat across a landscape (i.e., landscape structure) has been more or less neglected in...

Drivers of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community composition in roots : hosts, neighbors, and environment

Creator:: Phillips, Wendy S.
Abstract:: The vast majority of terrestrial plant species live in symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). AMF and plants live in complex networks, with roots of individual plants hosting multiple AMF, and single AMF colonizing multiple plants concurrently. Through the exchange of resources, the two partners of this symbiosis can have...

Extraction and plant availability of cadmium and zinc in a Willamette sandy loam soil

Creator:: Halvorson, Gary Alfred
Abstract:: A Willamette sandy shot loam was treated with ZnC1₂, CdC1₂, or sewage sludge to determine the chemical fate of added Cd and Zn in the soil and their influence on the growth of corn and wheat seedlings. Cadmium was added as CdC1₂ at rates of 0, 5, 20, or 80...

Oregon's Mid-Willamette Valley wetlands : agricultural uses, alternative uses, problems and trends

Creator:: Tsutsui, Setsuo Harry
Abstract:: The wetlands are distinguished from other lands of the Mid-Willamette Valley by excessive soil moisture. The wetlands, as defined for this study, consist of 20 soil series (in 22 soil mapping units) which are classified by the Soil Conservation Service as having excessive wetness as the major factor limiting their...

The effects of land use on mineral flat wetland hydrologic processes in lowland agricultural catchments

Creator:: Marshall, Sarah M.
Abstract:: Hydrologic processes within mineral flat wetlands, along with their connections to groundwater and downstream surface water in lowland agricultural catchments are poorly understood, particularly under different land uses. In the three field studies included in this thesis, we examined infiltration, wetland hydroperiod, groundwater recharge dynamics, surface runoff generation, and water...

Private forests, public policy : oak conservation on family forests in Oregon’s Willamette Valley

Creator:: Fischer, Alexandra Paige
Abstract:: In the United States, many of the thorniest natural resource conflicts occur on private lands. This is especially true in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon where the hallmark habitat type, Oregon white oak woodland and savanna, is imperiled. Almost exclusively found on private land, Oregon white oak is threatened...
