Biodiversity Responses in Early Seral Forests of the Klamath-Siskiyou: Comparisons with Birds, Bees, and Ground Beetles among Post-fire, Salvage Logging, and Intensive Forest Management Environments

Creator:: Frank, Graham S.
Abstract:: Early seral forests regenerating from stand-replacing disturbances provide unique habitat for many species in productive, temperate forest landscapes and contribute to supporting biodiversity. Population declines in some species associated with early seral forests have prompted concerns about the conservation of these habitats, particularly the characteristic structural and compositional complexity associated...

Water management tools and irrigation strategies for blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry production in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Carroll, Jesse L.
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest region of the United States is known for quality production of blueberries, blackberries, and red raspberries. However, as the climate shifts to warmer, drier, and more extreme summers, growing these water intensive berry crops is becoming increasingly difficult. Furthermore, water regulations within agriculture are becoming more prevalent...

Convergence Analysis Framework for Fixed-Point Algorithms in Machine Learning and Signal Processing

Creator:: Vu, Trung
Abstract:: Iterative algorithms are simple yet efficient in solving large-scale optimization problems in practice. With a surge in the amount of data in past decades, these methods have become increasingly important in many application areas including matrix/tensor recovery, deep learning, data mining, and reinforcement learning. To optimize or improve iterative algorithms,...

Bridging Ways of Knowing to Model the Dynamics of Fire as an Ecocultural Process on Frequent Fire Landscapes of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Greenler, Skye M.
Abstract:: Wildfire impacts have intensified in many ecosystems across the western United States due to the combined impact of fire exclusion, climate change, and land management practices. However, on many of these landscapes, fire is a fundamental ecological process that has shaped vegetation structural and compositional diversity, ecosystem function, landscape pattern,...

Examining the Power Dynamics and Outcomes of Oregon Forest Collaboratives

Creator:: Kornhauser, Kailey
Abstract:: Forest collaboration emerged in Oregon about 30 years ago as a way to address increasing conflict and distrust amongst stakeholder groups and public land managers. The concept has spread widely, and forest collaboratives are now commonplace on most National Forests in the Pacific Northwest. These groups include a wide range...

Towards Resolving Functional and Evolutionary Mysteries of the Large and Heterozygous Genome of Hop (Humulus lupulus) and the Cannabaceae Family Using Genomic Data Science

Creator:: Padgitt-Cobb, Lillian K.
Abstract:: Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var. lupulus) is a diploid, dioecious plant with an extensive history of cultivation and use in brewing, as a textile, and for its therapeutic properties. Hop is prized for its ability to produce a variety of aromatic and flavor compounds, as well as compounds with anti-microbial...

Valuing Coastal Risk with Revealed and Stated Preference Methods

Creator:: Hadziomerspahic, Amila
Abstract:: Developed coastlines provide a variety of recreation opportunities to coastal residents and visitors but are also the first line of defense for oceanfront development against chronic hazards like erosion and sea level rise. In the Pacific Northwest of the United States, oceanfront homes also face an additional severe but very...

Drivers and Impacts of a Recent Annual Grass Invasion: Ventenata dubia and Fire in the Inland Northwest

Creator:: Tortorelli, Claire M.
Abstract:: Biological invasions threaten native biodiversity, alter ecosystem function, and are a major cause of economic losses across the planet. The most impactful invaders alter disturbance regimes and initiate state shifts to outside the historical range of variability of the ecosystem. Concern for ecological and economic losses has prompted a rapid...

An examination of climate and land-use change as drivers of population dynamics in breeding birds

Creator:: Kim, Hankyu
Abstract:: Anthropogenic land-cover change and climate change are the major drivers of the steep loss of avian biodiversity in past decades. Loss of avian biodiversity is predicted to result in the reduction of ecosystem services and ecological functions. Identifying avian population changes and the drivers of these trajectories is essential for...

Evaluating the Ecological Trade-Offs of Riparian Thinning for Stream Ecosystems in Second-Growth Redwood Forests of Northern California

Creator:: Roon, David A.
Abstract:: Riparian forests provide a myriad of ecosystem functions for adjacent streams and rivers, and due to these linkages, changes in riparian forest conditions can have direct implications for stream ecosystems. Resource managers in the coast redwood forests (Sequoia sempervirens) of northern California (USA) are actively thinning second-growth stands to accelerate...
