Invasion of Brachypodium sylvaticum in prairie and forest habitats : differences in community structure between uninvaded and invaded systems in Bald Hill Park, Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Goodell, Whitney
Abstract:: Brachypodium sylvaticum (Huds.) Beauv. is an invasive grass that can be found in forest and prairie communities throughout the Willamette Valley, Oregon. It can out-compete native species of grasses and forbs and become dominant in a broad range of habitats. This study investigated if there were differences in vegetation structure...

Plant community recovery after high severity wildfire and post-fire management in the Klamath Region

Creator:: Lopez Ortiz, Maria Jose
Abstract:: Disturbance and microclimate interact to play a central role influencing the composition and structure of plant communities. In this thesis, I examined plant community composition and structure twenty years after high severity wildfires with and without post-fire management (salvage logging, fuel treatment, tree planting, and shrub release) under contrasting microclimatic...

Decision support systems for forest biodiversity management : a review of tools and an analytical-deliberative framework for understanding their successful application

Creator:: Gordon, Sean N.
Abstract:: The complexity of forest management has increased with the scope of resources of concern and the level of scrutiny from stakeholders. The design and use of specialized computer software, often referred to as “decision support systems” (DSS), is one method for helping managers deal with this complexity. DSS have proven...

Patterns in understory vegetation communities across canopy gaps in young, Douglas-fir forests of western Oregon

Creator:: Fahey, Robert T.
Abstract:: Canopy gap formation is a major factor contributing to maintenance of overstory species diversity and stand structure in forests and may be integral to development of understory shrub and herb layers as well. Acknowledgement of gap formation as a fundamental feature of natural forests has led to consideration of gaps...

Conservation of Oenothera wolfii (Onagraceae) : introducing a threatened plant into two protected locations in Oregon

Creator:: Currin, Rebecca E.
Abstract:: The showy biennial to short-lived perennial Oenothera wolfii (Munz) Raven, Dietrich & Stubbe (Wolf’s evening primrose) occurs in only a small number of isolated populations on the southern Oregon and northern California coast. This rare species is currently listed as Threatened in Oregon, and is considered a Species of Concern...

Serpentine and non-serpentine edaphic ecology and the recovery of Lomatium cookii (Apiaceae), an endangered endemic of southwest Oregon

Creator:: Silvernail, Ian S.
Abstract:: The role of unusual geologies in plant distribution and form is well-known. Serpentine (ultramafic) soils exert a particularly strong influence on plants, as evidenced by a high level of endemism and the morphological and physiological traits displayed in adaptation to the extraordinary chemistry of these substrates. Adaptation may lead to...

Yield responses of invasive grasses to carbon doses

Creator:: Brunson, Jessi L.
Abstract:: The sagebrush steppe ecosystem of the northern Great Basin is severely degraded and continues to decline due in large part to the invasive, non-native annual grasses Bromus tectorum L. (cheatgrass) and Taeniatherum caput-medusae (L.) Nevski (medusahead). Restoration of invasive-dominated areas is difficult, but can be enhanced by adding a carbon...

Community gradients of Arctic macrolichens in relation to succession, grazing and the environment

Creator:: Holt, Emily A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this dissertation was to define macrolichen community gradients in relation to succession, grazing and the environment. First, species scores indicating when macrolichen species appeared following disturbance were derived from the literature. Weighted averaging of these data with a community matrix created a successional score for each sample...
