Live-tree carbon in the Pacific Northwest : estimates and uncertainties

Creator:: Melson, Susanna L.
Abstract:: Concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere has increased over the past 150 years. Because CO₂ is one of a number of radiatively active gases, there is concern that global temperatures will rise and climatic conditions will change. Recent research indicates northern hemisphere forests may currently be accumulating carbon...

Two studies of Acer macrophyllum : I. The effects of bigleaf maple on soils in Douglas-fir forests : II. The ecology of bigleaf maple seedling establishment and early growth in Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Fried, Jeremy Steven
Abstract:: Bigleaf maple (Acer iaacrophyllunt) is a deciduous, persistent, sprouting species that frequently accounts for as much as 20% of the basal area in Douglas-fir forests. Because of the lack of knowledge of the role of bigleaf maple in Douglas-fir forest ecosystems and the problems that it poses as a vigorous...

Partial characterization of six established salmonid cell lines

Creator:: Philippon-Fried, Marie
Abstract:: Six salmonid cell lines previously established in this laboratory, CHSE 114 and CHSE 214 (chinook salmon), CSE 119 (coho salmon), SSE 5 (sockeye salmon), STE 137 (steelhead trout) and RTH 149 (rainbow trout), were partially characterized. Mycoplasmas were not detected in any of the cell lines. All cell lines exhibited...

Using valuation functions to estimate changes in the quality of a recreational experience : elk hunting in Oregon

Creator:: Fried, Brett M.
Abstract:: Public agencies need information on the value of recreational activities to assist in managing fish and wildlife species. Over the past two decades economists have developed and applied techniques to measure the value of such non-marketed commodities. The contingent valuation method (CVM) is one technique used by economists to measure...

Integrating functional trait frameworks into restoration : the role of seed and seedling traits in recruitment success

Creator:: Larson, Julie E.
Abstract:: Seeding is a vital tool to facilitate recovery of degraded ecosystems, but low seedling recruitment rates limit the utility of this practice in a range of ecosystems across the globe. Plant functional traits impact individual fitness through effects on growth, reproduction and survival. Consequently, seed and seedling trait variation among...

Weighing the Benefits of Returning Fire to the Landscape: Strategic Fire Management Workloads

Creator:: Goodwin, Ian
Abstract:: The accumulation of fuels in fire prone landscapes, and changing climatic conditions, have resulted in increasingly volatile fire behaviors. As a result, social and operational risk, management expenditures, and budgetary requirements for responsible agencies are increasing. The United States Forest Service (USFS) manages 193 million acres across the United States...

Micro in-lab grid integration of a wave energy converter

Creator:: Okuda, Jeremy S.
Abstract:: Ocean wave energy has great potential to develop into a strong and reliable form of renewable energy. As the technology develops, more wave energy converters will be grid interconnected and the variable nature of the ocean will begin to influence the stability of the electrical grid system. There are many...

Investigation of film forming properties of beta-chitosan from jumbo squid pens (Dosidicus gigas) and improvement of water solubility of beta-chitosan, Investigation of film forming properties of β-chitosan from jumbo squid pens (Dosidicus gigas) and improvement of water solubility of β-chitosan

Creator:: Chen, Jeremy L.
Abstract:: The objectives of this project were to investigate the critical factors impacting the physicochemical and antibacterial properties of β-chitosan based films derived from jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) pens, and to evaluate the feasibility of improving water solubility of β-chitosan through Maillard reaction. The studies examined the effect of molecular weight...

Winterfat seed viability and dormant season livestock grazing

Creator:: Leary, Ryan
Abstract:: Krascheninnikovia lanata (winterfat) is a valuable forage species with an average of 10% crude protein during winter when there are few nutritious options for livestock and wildlife. However, excessive grazing throughout the west has negatively impacted survival of winterfat stands. We hypothesized that four years rest from dormant season livestock...
