The effects of mechanical damage on residual coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirbel] Franco) following commercial thinning

Creator:: Kiser, James D.
Abstract:: Commercial thinning operations can result in damage to residual stems. A literature review revealed that little was known about the effects of residual logging wounds with regard to rotation-age commercial conifers, particularly Douglas-fir. An experiment to examine fungal colonization of Douglas-fir following logging damage showed that while damage was significant...

Taper, crown, and volume responses of a coastal Oregon Douglas-fir stand to sulfur treatments for control of Swiss needle cast

Creator:: Younger, Nicole L.
Abstract:: For nearly two decades, foresters in the Oregon Coast Range have been witnessing a substantial decease in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii [Mirb.] Franco.) vigor and growth, caused by Swiss needle cast (Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii). Currently, no solutions are in sight but aerially-applied sulfur may alleviate Swiss needle cast and its...

Basic and applied studies on Douglas-fir beetle : spatial relationships of infestations, lipids and host habitat, and attraction distances of pheromone-baited traps

Creator:: Dodds, Kevin J.
Abstract:: Three studies on Douglas-fir beetle (DFB), Dendroctonuspseudotsuae, were conducted to investigate its basic and applied biology. Studies included investigations into the spatial relationship of DFB infestations over multiple years and multiple landscapes, relationships between DFB brood adult lipid levels and position of development along the length of tree boles, and...

The Effects of Seed Source and Planting Environment on Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) Foliage Diseases

Creator:: Wilhelmi, Nicholas
Abstract:: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is a commercially and ecologically important tree species native to western North America. The foliar pathogens Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii, the causal agent of Swiss Needle Cast, and Rhabdocline species, the causal agents of Rhabdocline needle cast, are two important pathogens specific to Douglas-fir. These pathogens are highly influenced...

Impacts of Swiss needle cast on Douglas-fir tree-ring stable isotopes and tree carbohydrate reserves

Creator:: Saffell, Brandy J.
Abstract:: Understanding the mechanisms of disease in forest pathology is a critical component to learning how to most efficiently manage tree diseases like Swiss needle cast (SNC). SNC is an economically important, fungal disease of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) that is prevalent in coastal areas of the Pacific Northwest. This...

Comparing structure and development of Douglas-fir old-growth, plantations, and young natural forests in western Oregon

Creator:: Dowling, Christopher D.
Abstract:: Ages, diameter growth, density, tree size, and species were studied in old-growth, plantation, and young natural Douglas-fir stands in three areas in western Oregon: the western and eastern Coast Range and the western Cascades. The purpose was to compare the development of these three stand types and to determine whether...

DNA markers linked to novel sources of resistance to eastern filbert blight in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

Creator:: Sathuvalli, Vidyasagar R.
Abstract:: The hundred-year history of the hazelnut industry in the Pacific Northwest is threatened by eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) has been extensively used for ‘Gasaway’ resistance in the hazelnut breeding program at Oregon State University. Concern over breakdown of...

Phytophthora species and riparian alder tree damage in western Oregon

Creator:: Sims, Laura L.
Abstract:: The genus Phytophthora contains some of the most destructive pathogens of forest trees, including the most destructive pathogen of alder in recent times, Phytophthora alni. Alder trees were reported to be suffering from canopy dieback in riparian ecosystems in western Oregon, which prompted a survey of alder health and monitoring...

Grapevine Leafroll associated Virus – 3 (GLRaV-3) Seasonal Titer Changes and Effects on Pinot Noir Fruit in Oregon

Creator:: Wright, Sarah K.
Abstract:: The Willamette Valley, west of the Cascade mountain range in the state of Oregon, is home to a growing number of vineyards. This rather recent, booming industry of the region has become an important component of the economy of the state’s agriculture since the late 1960’s, contributing more than $1.56...

Susceptibility of golden chinquapin (Chrysolepis chrysophylla) to Phytophthora cambivora

Creator:: Saavedra, Angel Luis
Abstract:: In early 2000, unusual mortality of a native North American tree, golden chinquapin, was reported by the USDA-Forest Service. Dying trees exhibited girdling cankers in the inner bark of the lower bole, branch flagging and defoliation. Isolations from necrotic tissues and soil associated with diseased or killed trees yielded Phytophthora...

Fungal diversity within decomposing woody conifer roots in Oregon

Creator:: Vandegrift, V. Eleanor
Abstract:: Previous studies have indicated that roots from five tree species (Picea sitchensis, Tsuga heterophylla, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Pinus ponderosa, and Pinus contorta) decompose at different rates across an environmental gradient in Oregon. Measurements of wood chemistry from each tree species as well as moisture and temperature from each location do not...

Potential susceptibility of tanoak associated and rare ericaceous plant species of southwestern Oregon to Phytophthora ramorum

Creator:: Zanzot, James W.
Abstract:: The sudden oak death pathogen, Phytophthora ramorum, is present in southwestern Oregon, and while an eradication effort is underway, the potential impact of the polyphagous pathogen on surrounding vegetation is unknown. Plant communities in the area are substantially different from those affected in California, although tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus), evergreen huckleberry...
