Influence of a sudangrass green manure on microorganisms and early dying of potatoes in two soils

Creator:: Parks, Robin L.
Abstract:: Effect of a sudangrass green manure in two soil types on the activity, populations and community structure of soil microorganisms, populations of Verticillium dahliae in soil and on potato roots, and potato early dying, were evaluated in a field microplot experiment in the Columbia Basin. Potato cv. Russet Burbank was...

Engineering properties of Oregon and Washington coast range soils

Creator:: Alto, Jalmer V.
Abstract:: Landslides are frequent in the steep forested regions of the Oregon and Washington coastal mountain ranges. The need for forest products has resulted in increasing logging activity in these marginally stable areas. The occurrence of landslides has increased, which in turn has focused greater interest in slope stability management. Of...

Morphology, genesis, and classification of soils forming in recent age tephra deposits from Mt. St. Helens volcano

Creator:: Johnson, Mark E.
Abstract:: The morphology, genesis, and classification of soils forming in multiple tephra deposits of recent age from Mt. St. Helens volcano in southwestern Washington Cascade Mountains was studied. Soils which occupied well drained and poorly drained positions on the landscape were characterized according to their morphology and the results of analyses...

The influence of soil compaction on early conifer growth in the southern Washington Cascades

Creator:: Robbins, Richard William
Abstract:: This study evaluated the effect of soil compaction on the growth of natural regeneration on volcanic ash-influenced soils in the southern Washington Cascades. Growth of 9 to 18 year-old sapling-. sized Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) was studied on sites ranging from 915 to 1006 m elevation in an area...

Microbiology of basalts targeted for deep geological carbon sequestration : field observations and laboratory experiments

Creator:: Lavalleur, Heather J.
Abstract:: With rising concentrations of CO₂ in the Earth's atmosphere causing concern about climate change, many solutions are being presented to decrease emissions. One of the proposed solutions is to sequester excess CO₂ in geological formations such as basalt. The deep subsurface is known to harbor much of the microbial biomass...

Soil carbon and nitrogen in old-growth forests in western Oregon and Washington

Creator:: Remillard, Suzanne Marie
Abstract:: Soil organic carbon (SOC, kg C m-2) is an important component in evaluating global C stores. The nitrogen (TN, kg N m"2) cycle is closely linked to C and understanding its role is also important. Contents and distributions of SOC and TN in soil profiles, to 1-meter depth, were estimated...

Aboveground vegetation and viable seed bank of a dry mixed-conifer forest at a wildland-urban interface in Washington state

Creator:: Snider, Gabrielle
Abstract:: Dry coniferous forests in the western United States are experiencing severe wildfires, insect outbreaks, forest disease epidemics and a growing presence of invasive species. Policies strongly emphasize reducing hazardous fuels at the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) where communities and forests intersect. However, these areas present restoration challenges as they tend...

Establishment of concentration ratios for riparian and shrub steppe areas of the eastern Washington Columbia basin

Creator:: Napier, Jonathan Bamberger
Abstract:: Concentration ratios are used to determine the transfer of nuclides from soil to biota to fauna. Some nuclides have limited associated data though, this has not prevented predictions from being performed at sites without associated data. These ratios are site specific and are not fully applicable when applied to other...

Response of needle-litter decomposition and soil nitrogen mineralization to logging-debris manipulation and competing vegetation control in western Oregon and Washington

Creator:: Meehan, Nathan Andrew
Abstract:: Growing societal demand for forest products is pressuring managers to increase productivity from a finite land area, and it is expected that increased supply will come mostly from expansion of intensively managed stands. The USDA Forest Service and numerous collaborators created the Long-Term Soil Productivity (LTSP) network of research sites...

Soil erosion and vegetation loss accelerated by visitor use of Paradise Meadows, Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Fritzke, Susan L.
Abstract:: Recreational impacts on the subalpine-alpine ecosystems of Mount Rainier National Park have developed over the past century, and today pose a major problem for park managers. Field data were collected during the summer of 1987 in the Paradise meadows area in order to describe visitor impacts on social trails (trails...
