Drought, dispersal, and community dynamics in arid-land streams

Creator:: Bogan, Michael T.
Abstract:: Understanding the mechanisms that regulate local species diversity and community structure is a perennial goal of ecology. Local community structure can be viewed as the result of numerous local and regional processes; these processes act as filters that reduce the regional species pool down to the observed local community. In...

The use of burned forest by breeding birds following the Biscuit Fire in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Donaghy Cannon, Michelle M.
Abstract:: Fire severity is hypothesized as an important driver of bird responses to wildfire. For those species that typically respond negatively to increasing severity, Accessibility of high-severity burned forest may be dependent on the proximity of unburned or low-severity burned forest to meet all of the needs of breeding bird species...

Contemporary regional forest dynamics in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Reilly, Matthew J. (Matthew Justin), 1975-
Abstract:: Recent climatic warming trends and increases in the frequency and extent of wildfires have prompted much concern regarding the potential for rapid change in the structure and function of forested ecosystems around the world. Episodes of mortality in wildfires and insect outbreaks associated with drought have affected large areas and...

Applications of Soil Science in Forest Landscape Planning : Challenges and Opportunities in the 21st Century

Creator:: Craigg, Terry Lee
Abstract:: Soils and other resource programs in both public land management agencies and private industry are continually being adapted to the challenges of evolving knowledge and experience in the field of forestry. This dissertation explores new ways of thinking about and using soils information in forest planning and management, with a...

Cumulative effects of land use on salmon habitat in southwest Oregon coastal streams

Creator:: Frissell, Christopher Andrew, 1960-
Abstract:: As part of a hierarchical approach to classifying watersheds and stream habitats based on geomorphic and geologic criteria, we defined ten classes of fluvial and lacustrine habitats at the scale of valley segments. Valley segments are landscape units which encompass surface waters and the adjacent floodplains and hillslopes with which...

Short-term relationship of timber management and Pacific giant salamander populations, and the response of larval stream amphibian to predators under differing sediment levels

Creator:: Leuthold, Niels C.
Abstract:: In the Pacific Northwest, multiple studies have found negative effects of timber harvest on stream amphibians, but the results have been highly variable and region-specific. In this collection of studies, I examined the short term effect of timber harvest using a field study, and used lab work to examine a...

Three essays on private landowners' response to incentives for carbon sequestration through forest management and afforestation

Creator:: Kim, Taeyoung
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of three essays on private landowners' response to incentives for carbon sequestration in forests. The first essay examines private landowner response to incentives for carbon sequestration through various combinations of intermediate management practices. The second essay focuses on agricultural landowners' willingness to participate in an incentive program...

Phylogeography, evolution, and conservation in forest-associated Pacific Northwest salamanders

Creator:: Wagner, R. Steven
Abstract:: Phylogeographic studies of six Pacific Northwest forest-associated salamanders provide insight into historical and contemporary processes on population genetic structure. Among Larch Mountain Salamanders (Plethodon larselli), cytochrome b mitochondrial (mtDNA) sequences (381 bp) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPDs; 34 loci) supported separate Management Units for northern and southern populations (12...

Coastal Dune Ecology, Geomorphology, and Ecosystem Services : How Invasive Beachgrasses, their Interactions, and Sediment Dynamics Shape U.S. Pacific Northwest Dunes

Creator:: Biel, Reuben G.
Abstract:: Biological invasions and climate change represent two preeminent threats to ecological communities and biodiversity, altering the distribution and abundance of species, disrupting existing species interactions and forming unprecedented ones, and creating novel ecological communities. Many of the most successful invasive species are also ecosystem engineers, species that physically modify the...
