Detecting medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae (L.) Nevski) using high frequency, sequential, globally positioned digital images

Creator:: Ndzeidze, Stephen Koghan
Abstract:: Invasive plant species are expanding and transforming vegetative communities across Oregon and throughout the United States. Over the past three decades remote sensing, geographic information system (GIS), and Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies have been integrated to detect and map the distribution of noxious rangeland plants. This study developed low-cost...

Assessing the sustainability of management practices for planted forests across an environmental gradient in New Zealand

Creator:: Kiyvyra, Alicia L.
Abstract:: Sustainable management of planted forests requires maintenance of soil function to promote 1) root growth; 2) storage and cycling of water and nutrients; 3) optimal gas exchange; and 4) biological activity. Soil quality measurements can be used to monitor short- and long-term changes in these soil functions, allowing managers to...

Characterization of Thermal Regimes of Side Channels, Alcoves, and Ponds on the Willamette River, OR

Creator:: Gombert, Carolyn E.
Abstract:: The thermal regime of rivers plays a key role in aquatic ecosystem health. In the Willamette River, OR, the present day main channel temperature is often too warm for cold water fishes during the late spring, summer, and early fall. At these times, cold water fishes tend to be concentrated...

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...
