Response of Soil Temperature, Moisture, and Respiration Two Years Following Intensive Organic Matter and Compaction Manipulations in Oregon Cascade Forests

Creator:: Gallo, Adrian Carlos
Abstract:: Forest soils contain a substantial portion of global terrestrial carbon stores. Forest management can influence the soil carbon pool and how soil organic matter functions. The long-term productivity of forests is an ongoing goal where land managers utilize biomass and timber. A site-specific understanding of intensively managed forests can ensure...

Soil organic carbon response to six years of warming : assessing the impacts of altered diurnal temperature range

Creator:: Murphey, Virginia L. W.
Abstract:: There is a growing consensus that anthropogenic warming will impact soil organic matter (SOM). Globally, soil contains 2-3 times more carbon (C) than plants, and like plants, temperature induced change of SOM could have significant climate repercussions. Although, the majority of warming experiments have increased day and night temperatures equally,...

Infiltration and temperature characterization of a wastewater hyporheic discharge system

Creator:: Stewart, Ryan D.
Abstract:: The Clean Water Act imposes Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) limits on pollutant concentrations within wastewater effluent; in Oregon, thermal discharge is one of the pollutants subject to regulation. The City of Woodburn, Oregon, funded a series of pilot scale studies to investigate the utility of natural systems to reduce...

Distinguishing biological and physical controls on soil respiration

Creator:: Phillips, Claire L.
Abstract:: Soil respiration, or the combined CO₂ emissions from roots and soil microorganisms, constitutes one of the largest losses of carbon (C) from terrestrial ecosystems. The major drivers of soil respiration, which include soil moisture, temperature, and substrate quality, have been known for some time. Nevertheless, correlations between these drivers and...

Effect of soil compaction and organic residues on spring-summer soil moisture and temperature regimes in the Sierra National Forest, California

Creator:: Troncoso, Guillermo E.
Abstract:: Soil moisture and temperature regimes during spring-summer 1996 were evaluated in plots with compaction and organic residues treatments established in 1993 at three sites in the Sierra National Forest after forest harvesting. The results indicate that the bare condition (non-compacted soil with total removal of the harvesting residues and forest...

Soil temperature suppression on growth and yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in warm climates of Sri Lanka

Creator:: Tharmarajah, S. K.
Abstract:: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most productive and nutritious food crops. Due to its adaptability to cool climates, production in Sri Lanka has been restricted to erosion-prone highlands. Vast potential exists for expansion of potato cultivation in the lowlands while production areas in the highlands are limited...

The effect of preplant nitrogen fertilization and soil temperature on biological nitrogen fixation and yield of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)

Creator:: Shuler, Philip E.
Abstract:: The usefulness of preplant nitrogen (N) in establishing alfalfa in colder production areas has not been well characterized. This study was conducted to determine the effect of preplant N and soil temperature on yield, percent N derived from biological nitrogen fixation (PBNF), and shoot N concentration in alfalfa (Medicago sativa...

Simulation and field validation of heat and water flow during soil freezing and thawing

Creator:: Pikul, Joseph Lawrence
Abstract:: Freeze/thaw cycles are numerous in agricultural soils of the Pacific Northwest. Potential loss of soil by erosion is high whenever a soil thaws from the surface creating a saturated soil overlying an impermeable frozen layer. Field studies were conducted to investigate the effect of surface residue on soil freezing. Residue...
