Creator:: Guerrero-Bolaño Francisco J.
Abstract:: Small mountainous watersheds are disproportionate sources of land-derived particulate organic matter (POM) to long-term sinks like lake bottoms and the ocean. As such, these ecosystems are an essential component of the global carbon cycle. The burial of POM in lacustrine and marine sediments contributes to the drawdown of atmospheric CO2...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Creator:: Campbell, Emily Y.
Abstract:: Ecological resources available to freshwater fish shift spatially, temporally and across life stages. To better understand how spatial-temporal availability of resources influence fish, I examined the phenologies of hatching and emergence of Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in streams with contrasting and strongly defined seasonal thermal variability. The study streams included...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: stream processes. I am grateful to Dr. Sherri Johnson for her support and for being an inspiring female

Creator:: Penaluna, Brooke E.
Abstract:: Studies of the effects of forest harvest on streams and fish have a long history in the Pacific Northwest. Results of this work have prompted development of new forest harvest practices that are more protective of these resources, but the effectiveness of these new practices has not been fully evaluated....
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: like a fish and write like I think. My committee members Drs. Sherri Johnson, Steve Railsback, Lisa

Creator:: Kelly, Valerie
Abstract:: This study evaluates the functional organization of stream fish assemblages in response to streamflow factors and biotic interactions across a range of spatial scale. The study area for this project includes 109 stream reaches located on tributaries to the upper Missouri River in the northern Great Plains. Fish distribution data...

Creator:: Kaylor, Matthew J.
Abstract:: Humans have drastically altered the physical habitat and food web structure of stream ecosystems. Two major impacts humans have had on Pacific Northwest streams are modification of streamside forests (as a result of agriculture, land development, and timber harvest), and declines in the return of wild anadromous salmon to headwater...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: my career. I would like to sincerely thank my committee members; Ivan Arismendi, Sherri Johnson

Creator:: Olsen, Christine Shaw
Abstract:: Wildfire management has grown increasingly complex in recent years, particularly in the West and in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) where a steady population growth has resulted in greater risk to people and property. Recent trends suggest the process of recovering from large fires (>100,000 acres) will become increasingly important to...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: importantly, a second chance when needed. Thank you to John Bliss, Sherri Johnson, Charles Langford, and

Creator:: Sobota, Daniel J.
Abstract:: Land use alters the physical and biological structure of stream ecosystems and potentially alters their capacity to process nitrogen (N), an essential nutrient that has nearly doubled in abundance on the biosphere during the past century from human activities. In this dissertation, I quantified uptake and transformation of nitrate (NO₃⁻)...
