Vulnerability and adaptation of Pacific Northwest shellfisheries to ocean acidification

Creator:: Katz, Brian G.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of shellfish stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest who are adapting to ocean acidification (OA). This study developed a geovisualization tool of existing environmental data for assessing species-specific risk profiles to OA (based on their exposure and sensitivity),...

Relative influence of trans-Pacific and regional atmospheric transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), USA

Creator:: Lafontaine, Scott
Abstract:: The relative influences of trans-Pacific and regional atmospheric transport on measured concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), PAH derivatives [Nitro- (NPAH) and Oxy-(OPAH)], organic carbon (OC), and Particulate Matter (PM) less than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM₂.₅) were investigated in the Pacific Northwest, USA in 2010-2011. Ambient high volume PM₂.₅...

Long-term Effects of Vegetation Management on Biomass Stock and Aboveground Net Primary Productivity of Four Coniferous Species in the PNW

Creator:: Flamenco, Herman N., Jr.
Abstract:: Forest vegetation management (FVM) is an important component of reforestation in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Several studies have demonstrated the benefits of vegetation management on planted conifer growth and survival. However, few reports have been published on the long-term effects of FVM treatments on total ecosystem biomass accumulation and aboveground...

Defensible Space Development: Exploring The Role of Arborists in Wildfire Risk Mitigation for Communities of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Pritchett, Sylvan
Abstract:: Every year in North America homes in the Wildland-Urban interface (WUI) are destroyed by wildfires. The creation of defensible space around homes in the WUI, through the management of vegetation can help mitigate some of the risk posed by fire. While many homeowners recognize the need for defensible space around...

Development of Quantitative PCR Assays to Aid in Root-knot Nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) Diagnostics and Resistance Breeding Efforts in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Soule, Michelle L.
Abstract:: In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), the two most common root-knot nematodes are Meloidogyne hapla and Meloidogyne chitwoodi. These nematodes can infect a wide variety of crops and can cause significant losses. Currently, it is common for the field of nematology to use labor-intensive microscopy to identify plant-parasitic nematodes based on...

Coastal sand dunes in the U.S. Pacific Northwest : regional variability in foredune geomorphology and associated physical vulnerability to hazards

Creator:: Mull, Jeremy M.
Abstract:: Coastal foredunes protect lives, infrastructure, and ecosystems during severe winter storms. In the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW), coastal foredune geomorphology is determined by both physical and ecological mechanisms. Before the 1900's, the native plant Elymus mollis was the dominant dune grass and dune morphology was largely determined by sediment supply...

Strategic investments in agricultural industries and Oregon's economic development

Creator:: Koong, Dennis T
Abstract:: This research is concerned with the current debate among Oregonians on how to improve the standard of living and accelerate economic development in Oregon. The main question is what economic activities make Oregon, and regions within Oregon grow? To find out where Oregon's economic strength and weaknesses lie, first we...

Introgression and Evaluation of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Conferring Resistance to Quizalofop-p-ethyl Herbicide

Creator:: Richter, Colette M.
Abstract:: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops in the world supplying about 18.8 percent of the world's caloric energy supply and 20 percent of the world's protein. In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), over one million hectares of wheat are grown every year. Wheat production is typically...

Nuclear and chloroplast diversity of Pacific Northwest wheat (Triticum aestivum) breeding germplasm

Creator:: Edwards, Melanie Love
Abstract:: Wheat breeders must effectively maintain and manage existing genetic diversity in order to continue the development of superior genotypes. It is therefore fundamental that the genetic relationships and diversity within the germplasm pools be thoroughly characterized and understood. Recently, DNA-based markers have provided powerful tools for genetic diversity analysis. This...

Re-examining Ceratomyxa shasta in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Stinson, Matthew E. T.
Abstract:: Ceratomyxa shasta infects salmonids in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of North America, occasionally causing losses in wild and captive populations. Host-specific parasite genotypes (O, I, II, III) were previously characterized molecularly using markers in the ribosomal DNA and phenotypically by type host in the Klamath River, CA/OR. This thesis sough...
