Primary succession on a receding glacier forefront : with special emphasis on root-colonizing fungi

Creator:

Jumpponen, Ari

Abstract:

Plant succession is among the fundamental concepts in ecology. Studies addressing plant recruitment, successional mechanisms, and the role of root-colonizing fungi with focus on dark-septate endophytes (DSE) were conducted in the laboratory and on the forefront of receding Lyman Glacier (North Cascade Range, Washington, U.S.A.). Primary successional studies primarily focus...

A landscape-scale analysis of vegetation recovery at Mount St. Helens

Creator:

Lawrence, Rick L.

Abstract:

I used satellite remote sensing to examine the key factors controlling the natural revegetation of Mount St. Helens since its eruption in 1980. The study required three stages: determining the amount of vegetation present; characterizing vegetation change; and analyzing the influence of factors affecting vegetation change. To determine the amount...

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...
