    Creator:
    Cole, Madeline L.
    Abstract:
    In 1982 a protohistoric archaeological site along the Applegate River in southwest Oregon was excavated by Oregon State University Department of Anthropology. Three housepits and a possible menstrual but were uncovered with lithic, faunal, and archaeobotanical elements recovered from house floors and hearths. Seven botanical taxa were represented by carbonized...

  • Assessment of Feedstock Materials for Producing a Suitable and Cost-Effective Biochar to Use as a Soil Amendment for Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)

    Creator:
    Kumari, Pooja
    Abstract:
    Biochar is a highly porous, carbon-rich residue produced by thermochemical conversion (pyrolysis) of plant biomass and carbonaceous organic materials under oxygen-controlled conditions. Chars produced by this process tend to have high ion-exchange capacities and, when added to soil, increase retention of water and nutrients and improve soil aggregation, porosity, and...
