Assessing the Potential for a Late Pleistocene-Early Holocene Occupation at the Tahkenitch Landing Site (35DO130), Siuslaw National Forest, Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area

Creator:: Kirkpatrick, Molly C.
Abstract:: The archaeological record of the First Americans is known almost exclusively from interior sites located away from coastal margins. While archaeologists hypothesize that early peoples initially migrated into the Americas along the Pacific coast, environmental changes associated with postglacial sea level rise may have destroyed or obscured such early sites....

Where the Stream Meets the Road : Prioritizing Culvert Replacement for Fish Passage

Creator:: Reagan, Rachel E.
Abstract:: Streams across the world are highly fragmented due to the presence of in-stream barriers (e.g., dams and stream-road crossings), many of which restrict or block fish passage. Retrofitting or replacing these structures is a high priority for restoring habitat connectivity for native fishes and other aquatic organisms in the Pacific...

Overexpression of the GROWTH REGULATING FACTOR 4-GRF-INTERACTING FACTOR 1 Transcription Factor Chimera Modifies Transformation and Regeneration Efficiency in Populus and Eucalyptus

Creator:: Ryan, Nathaniel W.
Abstract:: Transformation is a major bottleneck for genetic engineering and gene editing in forest tree species. This includes most genotypes of Populus and Eucalyptus, which are some of the world’s most widely-cultivated genera of plantation forest trees. To provide new tools for transformation, I tested the transcription factor-protein chimera consisting of...

Evaluating the accuracy of imputed forest biomass estimates at the project level

Creator:: Gagliasso, Donald
Abstract:: Various methods have been used to estimate the amount of above ground forest biomass across landscapes and to create biomass maps for specific stands or pixels across ownership or project areas. Without an accurate estimation method, land managers might end up with incorrect biomass estimate maps, which could lead them...

Small mammal relationships with downed wood and antelope bitterbrush in ponderosa pine forests of central Oregon

Creator:: Smith, Troy G.
Abstract:: Downed wood and antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata) are often managed on federal ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests in central Oregon to prevent catastrophic wildfires and provide wildlife habitat. However, although much is known regarding the roles of downed wood and bitterbrush in wildfire behavior, little is known regarding the relationships...

Effects of the Recreational Fee Demonstration Program on backcountry users in Grand Canyon and Everglades National Parks

Creator:: Leahy, Jessica E.
Abstract:: Since the Recreational Fee Demonstration Program was approved in 1996, allowing public land management agencies to collect and retain recreation user fees, several research studies have gathered opinions and attitudes from different groups of recreation users. One particular group, backcountry users of National Parks, had yet to be included. This...

Effects of spatially dispersed green-tree retention on ectomycorrhiza diversity

Creator:: Kolaczkowski, Oralia
Abstract:: The Demonstration for Ecosystem Management Options (DEMO) study originated out of the changing management priorities associated with federal forest lands in the Pacific Northwest which included an objective to maintain mature and old-growth forest characteristics in managed stands. The DEMO project examines the effects that different levels and patterns of...

Predictive mapping for the delineation of landtype association units in the Fremont National Forest, Oregon

Creator:: Malone, Melanie R.
Abstract:: Predictive Soil Mapping (PSM) has recently become an attractive method for soil scientists wishing to develop a more objective and efficient approach to mapping soils. Due to the potential PSM has for reducing the effort to produce soil maps, as well as its ability to improve the classification accuracy of...

Impact of Armillaria and annosus root diseases on stand and canopy structure, species diversity, and down woody material in a central Oregon mixed-conifer forest

Creator:: Fields, Kristen L. N.
Abstract:: White and grand fir are both valuable components of the mixed-conifer stand structure managed for late-successional reserves in central Oregon. However, they are often short-lived species because of high susceptibility to root diseases, defoliating insects, bark beetles, and wildfire. This study focuses on the effects of root diseases caused by...

Meadow classification in the Willamette National Forest and conifer encroachment patterns in the Chucksney-Grasshopper meadow complex, Western Cascade Range, Oregon

Creator:: Dailey, Michele Meadows
Abstract:: This study delineates and characterizes the distribution of montane meadows in the Willamette National Forest, identifies encroachment patterns in relation to topographic features and proximity to trees in the Chucksney-Grasshopper meadow complex, and examines tree species and age distributions in relation to distance from forest edges or isolated tree clusters...
