Long-term effects of prescribed fire on nitrogen availability in ponderosa pine stands in central Oregon

Creator:: Monleon-Moscardo, Vicente J.
Abstract:: The effects of prescribed burning on the rates of recent litter decomposition, nitrogen and phosphorus release from litter, soil total and inorganic nitrogen pools, and net nitrogen mineralization were determined in ponderosa pine sites that had been burned 0.3, 5 or 12 years earlier. Prescribed burning decreased litter decomposition rates...

Prescribed fire in Eastern Oregon ponderosa pine forests : relationships between soil fertility and ecology

Creator:: Grossmann, Emilie B.
Abstract:: I conducted two separate studies, both related to the impacts of spring and fall prescribed fire on ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Loud.) forest soils in Eastern Oregon. The studies were either conducted at or linked to four stands of ponderosa pine, in the Malheur National Forest. Each stand...

Response of brood-rearing habitat of sage grouse to prescribed burning in Oregon

Creator:: Pyle, William H. (William Hanson), 1957-
Abstract:: Decline of western sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus phaios) in Oregon may be related to the reduced availability of foods in upland sagebrush (Artemisia)-grasslands used for brood-rearing. The goal of this study was to determine primary foods of chicks and the short-term response of brood-rearing habitat to prescribed burning at Hart...

Ecological effects of spring and fall prescribed burning on basin big sagebrush : Idaho fescue--bluebunch wheatgrass communities

Creator:: Sapsis, David B.
Abstract:: The vegetation response of spring and fall prescribed fires in basin big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata subsp. tridentata Nutt.)/Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis Elmer)--bluebunch wheatgrass (Agropyron spicatum Pursh. (Scribn. & Smith)) communities was measured at the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument in eastern Oregon. Objectives of the study were to quantify...

Response of wood-boring beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae, Cerambycidae) to prescribed understory burning in mixed-conifer stands of southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Duane, Maureen V.
Abstract:: Prescribed burning is increasingly being used as a management tool to reduce potential fuels on the forest floor and promote stand vigor through removal of dense, crowded vegetation. Because fire affects both the standing vegetation and the amount of downed wood in the ecosystem, it is imperative to examine how...

Treatment options for controlling Brachypodium sylvaticum and impacts on native vegetation

Creator:: Fjeran, Taylor K.
Abstract:: Invasive vegetation control studies traditionally aim to control existing populations as well as limit future spread of the species. However, little additional attention has been dedicated to aiding native communities to recover and reestablish. One prominent example of a studied invasive is Brachypodium sylvaticum (Huds.) P. Beauv. (false brome), a...

Silvicultural and financial analysis of three case studies in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Rudd, Christopher Channing
Abstract:: Three data sets were examined to determine the costs with and without constrained forest management practices. Two adjacent sites in the Coast Range of Oregon were studied. One of the units was broadcast burned while the adjacent site was left unburned. The stands were projected for growth and yield in...

Shrub reestablishment following fire in the mountain big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt. ssp. vaseyana (Rydb.) Beetle) alliance

Creator:: Ziegenhagen, Lori L.
Abstract:: Currently, the of lack information on shrub reestablishment following fire and the wide variability in rates of recovery have lead to uncertainty in using prescribed burning as a management tool in the mountain big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt. ssp. vaseyana (Rydb.) Beetle) alliance. This study examined the recovery of shrub...

Small mammal responses to silvicultural fuels treatments in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Manning, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: Despite the belief that fuels management, a form of prescribed fire that reduces accumulated fuels in commercially thinned forests, is necessary to restore forest 'health' in the Pacific Northwest, its effects on wildlife has received little attention in the scientific literature. Because fuels management is supported, funded, and implemented nationwide...
