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...

Presence and pathogenicity of Fusarium and Verticillium species in commercial red radish (Raphanus sativus) seed production in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

Creator:: Bomberger, Rachel A.
Abstract:: Commercial radish seed producers in the Willamette Valley of Oregon have observed a late season wilt in their seed fields. Twenty-two fields were surveyed for wilt in the Willamette Valley during June through August 2012 and 2013. Plants exhibiting wilt symptoms were collected from the fields and examined for vascular...

Response of Soil Microbially Mediated Nutrient Cycling and Community Structure to Timber Harvest in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Danielson, Rachel E.
Abstract:: Forest harvest persists as one of the most globally important industries, and crucially provides raw wood products for both building and fuel materials. Mechanistically complex abiotic and biotic processes curb ecosystem recovery following timber harvest and it is of great importance to understand the effects of this practice on biogeochemical...

Plant community dynamics in remnant and restored Willamette Valley wetland prairies

Creator:: Schwindt, Rachel A.
Abstract:: Invasion by exotic species can pose a major challenge for developing native plant communities in wetland restoration projects. Often native plant communities do not develop as anticipated in restored wetlands due to colonization by exotic species that dominate the native plant community. Despite the time and expense to restore wetlands,...

Variation in the timing of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) migration and spawning relative to river discharge and temperature

Creator:: LovellFord, Rachel M.
Abstract:: Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) migration and spawning are unique components of the salmon life cycle because they require synchrony of behavior with other individuals as well as with acceptable fluvial conditions. As with other organisms that exhibit group mating behavior, it is likely that environmental cues trigger coho salmon movement...

Letting wildfires burn : modeling the change in future suppression costs as the result of a suppress versus a let-burn management choice

Creator:: Houtman, Rachel M.
Abstract:: Wildfire management policy over the past century, which attempts to exclude fire from fire-adapted ecosystems, has led to a build-up of fuels across the western United States. As a result, current wildfires contain larger areas of high severity, high intensity burns than seen prior to the policy implementation. There are...

A comparison of proposed and archival college women styles at Oregon State College from 1949-1957

Creator:: Sullivan, Rachel M.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to compare the proposed women's college styles for day and evening in selected magazines to the documented apparel of college women from Oregon State College in the 1949-1957 time period. The historic method and visual analysis methods were used to complete this study. An...

Landscape features affecting genetic diversity and structure in East African ungulate species

Creator:: Crowhurst, Rachel Selena
Abstract:: Habitat loss and fragmentation is a crisis affecting wildlife worldwide. In Tanzania, East Africa, a dramatic and recent (<80 years) expansion in human settlement and agriculture threatens to reduce gene flow among protected areas for many species of large mammals. Wildlife linkages can mitigate population isolation, but linkage designs lacking...

Mycobacterium avium genes upregulated upon infection of Acanthamoeba castellanii demonstrate a common response to the intracellular environment

Creator:: Tennant, Rachel C.
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium is a ubiquitous environmental organism found in both water and soil. It can cause disease in patients with previous pulmonary conditions, as well as immunosupressed patients, with the most prevalent being AIDS patients. Studies have indicated that passage through amoeba, a common environmental protozoa, increases virulence of M....

Development and Validation of Sustainable Packaging Approaches for Longevity of Postharvest ‘Bartlett’ Pears and Safflower Oil

Creator:: Rosenbloom, Rachel A.
Abstract:: The overall goal of this study was to investigate the gaps in edible packaging research in the areas of both edible coatings and edible films. This was accomplished across two distinct studies, in the pursuit of extending shelf life of fresh fruit for decreasing food loss, and heightening the consumer...
