¹³C-CP MAS NMR study of decomposition of five coniferous woody roots from Oregon

Creator:: Hawkins, Robert E.
Abstract:: Using ¹³C cross polarization magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance techniques on 5 species of dead trees from the northwest (western hemlock, Douglas fir, Sitka spruce, lodgepole pine and ponderosa pine) I tracked the lignin and cellulose content over a 22 to 36 year period in order to determine the...

Fungal diversity within decomposing woody conifer roots in Oregon

Creator:: Vandegrift, V. Eleanor
Abstract:: Previous studies have indicated that roots from five tree species (Picea sitchensis, Tsuga heterophylla, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Pinus ponderosa, and Pinus contorta) decompose at different rates across an environmental gradient in Oregon. Measurements of wood chemistry from each tree species as well as moisture and temperature from each location do not...

Impact of Armillaria and annosus root diseases on stand and canopy structure, species diversity, and down woody material in a central Oregon mixed-conifer forest

Creator:: Fields, Kristen L. N.
Abstract:: White and grand fir are both valuable components of the mixed-conifer stand structure managed for late-successional reserves in central Oregon. However, they are often short-lived species because of high susceptibility to root diseases, defoliating insects, bark beetles, and wildfire. This study focuses on the effects of root diseases caused by...

RFLP analysis of genetic variation in the laminated-root-rot fungal pathogen of conifers, Phellinus weirii

Creator:: Bae, Hanhong
Abstract:: DNA markers that detect polymorphisms within and between two biological species of the coniferous laminated-root-rot fungus Phellinus weirii were developed and used to measure the amount and distribution of genetic variation. In a preliminary survey, total cellular DNA from 3 Douglas-fir-type isolates and 3 cedar-type isolates was digested with 12...

Influence of cattle grazing and forage seeding on establishment of conifers in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Alejandro-Castro, Mabel
Abstract:: The ability of controlled livestock grazing, in combination with seeding of palatable forages, to reduce understory competition and enhance conifer establishment, was evaluated during 1985 and 1986, on two adjacent sites in southwestern Oregon. In 1984, Site 1 was clearcut and broadcast burned to remove slash, and Site 2 was...

Simultaneous equation estimation for individual tree growth in young Southern Oregon and Northern California conifer plantations

Creator:: Hamann, Jeff D.
Abstract:: This thesis presents methods for obtaining asymptotically efficient and consistent parameters and variance estimates for simultaneous equations in a forest growth modelling context. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Seemingly Unrelated Regressions (SUR), Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) and Three- Stage Least Squares (3SLS) are presented for linear models. The variables, model types...

Relationships of tree growth to nitrogen and water availability in a sheep-tree-pasture system in Douglas County, Oregon : field case study and shadehouse simulation

Creator:: DeMeo, Thomas
Abstract:: This thesis consists of three parts: 1) a field case study involving tree growth, moisture stress, and foliar nitrogen response to sheep-grazed pasture treatments; 2) a shadehouse (potted-plant) study of simulated grazing effects on tree growth and moisture use; and 3) a summary, synthesizing results of the field and shadehouse...

Serial manure amendments : effects on soil properties and root rot of sweet corn

Creator:: Cox, Bonnie S. Hoffman
Abstract:: The effect of serial (multiple-year) organic matter (OM) amendment on soil properties has been described in some cropping systems, although less is known about the effect of serially amended field soils on soil-borne plant diseases. The objectives of this study were to describe the effects of the third and fourth...

Effects of Phellinus weirii on plant community composition and succession of mature and old-growth Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Holah, Jennifer C.
Abstract:: Disease is often overlooked as a natural disturbance agent in plant communities. This study examines what effects, if any, a disease-mediated disturbance has on the plant community as a whole in old-growth and mature forests of western Oregon. Phellinus weirii (Murrill) Gilbertson (Family: Hymenochaetaceae) is a native root-rotting pathogen that...
