Invasive Plant Management Plan and Digital Tools for Big Sur Land Trust of Monterey County, California

Creator:: Nichols, Abby L.
Abstract:: An Invasive Plant Management Plan developed for Big Sur Land Trust, a non-profit conservation organization located on California's Central Coast, to guide its vegetation management activities and serve as a decision-support tool. The effort included the creation of a digital field data collection tool through Survey123 Connect, survey and data...

Development of a Collision Detection Module for Avian and Bat Species on Wind Turbine

Creator:: Davis, Cassandra L.
Abstract:: Renewable energy technology continues to grow in popularity as countries aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Land based and offshore wind turbines are one option for expanding renewable energy sources. However, as wind energy adoption increases, so does the need for enhanced monitoring of wind turbines’ potential effect on local...

Community Ecology of Foliar Fungi and Oomycetes of Pseudotsuga menziesii on the Pacific Northwest Coast

Creator:: Gonen, Lilah
Abstract:: Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii (coast Douglas-fir) is a tree of ecological, economic, and cultural value in its native North American Pacific Northwest (PNW) distribution. P. menziesii is host to a variety of well-documented endophytic foliar microorganisms, including the fungus Nothophaeocryptopus gaeumannii, the causal agent of Swiss needle cast (SNC), and...

Sheep and Goat Grazing on Fort Ord National Monument from 1998 – 2019: Implications for Restoration

Creator:: Hart, Christopher
Abstract:: Since 1960 sheep have been used to reduce fuel accumulation on Fort Ord National Monument (FONM) grasslands. From 1997-2019 BLM’s monitoring projects were employed to determine livestock grazing impacts on Coyote Brush, bunchgrasses, and other native and non-native herbaceous vegetation. In 2014, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) determined that...

Soil Solarization in Pacific Northwest Tree Seedling Nurseries: Effects on Soilborne Plant Pathogens, Soil Nutrients and the Soil Microbiome

Creator:: Weidman, Clara S.
Abstract:: Nursery and greenhouse products are economically important agricultural commodities for Oregon and Washington. Nursery crops including tree seedlings can be damaged or killed by soilborne plant pathogens, which can be challenging to manage because of their persistence in soil and limited options for control. Soil solarization is a pre-planting soil...

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...

Understanding Community Opposition to Industrial Scale Wind Farm Sitings and the Impacts of Federal Fast Track Initiatives in Southern California: A Case Study of the Tule and Ocotillo Wind Energy Facilities

Creator:: Allouzi, Yousef
Abstract:: As climate change forces energy policy to incorporate environmental impacts and fuel diversification into the traditional model of energy security, finding ways to site, develop, and deliver renewable energy has taken on increasing importance across the United States. With no consistent federal framework to implement these changes, much of the...

Advancing Wind Systems Design through Optimization and Improved Modeling

Creator:: Miller, Annalise M.
Abstract:: Wind energy plays an important and growing role in the US energy profile. While other countries have expanded their wind industries into offshore development, large investment costs have hindered progress in the US offshore market despite the larger and more consistent resource available offshore. In this research, I explore the...

Classification strategies for unbalanced binary maps : finding Ponderosa pine in the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Riddell, Audrey P.
Abstract:: Forest species classifications are becoming increasingly automated as advances are made in machine learning. The algorithms used to identify tree species range from simple decision trees to intricate neural networks, and often excel in accurately delineating tree species. However, complex algorithms can have high input costs, including the cost of...
