Effect of adult aquatic insect life history on return to Lookout Creek, H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon

Creator:: Farrand, Alexander Mark
Abstract:: Aquatic insects that emerge out of streams to mate represent a potential energy flux to terrestrial food webs. The relative success of an individual aquatic adult insect is whether it survives long enough to produce offspring, i.e. mate and return to the stream to oviposit eggs. Some characteristics of the...

Life-Cycle and Playability Analysis of Natural Turfgrass and Synthetic Infill Playing Surfaces Under Field Conditions

Creator:: Daviscourt Brian L.
Abstract:: The perception of a long-term cost advantage of synthetic infill turf systems relative to natural grass systems has contributed to a rise in their popularity in the USA. However, few comprehensive cost assessments of natural grass and synthetic infill systems exist. There are also no studies looking at interactions between...

From the Classroom to the Boardroom: Behaviors Associated with Both Student Leader and Business Leader Effectiveness

Creator:: Dodge, Miles
Abstract:: Each year thousands of college graduates enter the business world armed with skills accumulated as student leaders, but how applicable are these skills to the business world? While there are many studies on learnable behaviors associated with effective student leadership and many studies on behaviors associated with effective business leadership,...

Verifying safe use of a thinner aluminum scattering chamber for fission physics

Creator:: Porter, Eben, Jr.
Abstract:: This thesis describes calculations done to determine the radiation hazard of the current Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) scattering chamber at the Oregon State TRIGA Reactor (OSTR) and compare it to the amount that would be given off by a new thin-walled chamber design. These calculations were completed with...

Interactions of wind-driven and tidally-driven circulation in the Oregon coastal ocean

Creator:: Osborne, John J.
Abstract:: Influences of tidal and slower (subtidal) oceanic flows over the continental shelf and slope off Oregon are studied using a high-resolution ocean circulation model and comparative model-data analyses. The model is based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), a fully nonlinear, three-dimensional model (using hydrostatic and Boussinesq approximations). The...

Investigating Alternative Irrigation Strategies and Sources for the Cool-Humid Willamette Valley

Creator:: Olsen, Conner J.
Abstract:: Rising human populations and climate change are putting increasing demands on our already-limited freshwater sources. In response to these concerns, homeowners and municipalities have been encouraged to replace turfgrass – a plant with relatively high irrigation needs – with drought-tolerant plants that do not require frequent irrigation. However, the many...

Measurement and modeling the physical controls of snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Mazurkiewicz, Adam B.
Abstract:: The physical controls of snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are poorly understood. While there have been numerous field and modeling investigations at the plot and watershed scale, few studies have identified how the snow energy balance (EB) components vary in importance both spatially and temporally. The identification of how...

A phenological examination of terrestrial invertebrate abundance at H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon

Creator:: Mackereth, Kailan F.
Abstract:: Abstract Understanding the effects of climate change on forest ecosystems requires exploration of the relationships of different components of the system, such as the response of biota to local hydrology, temperature, precipitation, and elevation. The Long-term Ecological Research Program at the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, located in the Western...

Out-migration, income and poverty in nonmetropolitan America

Creator:: Marre, Alexander
Abstract:: Why do rural households leave for urban places? And how does this decision affect their economic well-being? Rural places in the United States have higher poverty and unemployment rates and lower levels of educational attainment relative to urban places. Does leaving a rural place for a city offer a pathway...

The development and decline dynamics of two ectomycorrhizal fungal mat soil microbial communities in response to a reciprocal soil transfer experiment in old-growth Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Cappellazzi, Jed E.
Abstract:: Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EmF) form symbioses with trees. These symbioses profoundly influence forest ecology. Certain EmF form specialized profusions of hyphae, known as ectomycorrhizal fungal mats (mats) which are visible to the naked eye, alter forest soil biogeochemistry, substantially contribute to soil microbial biomass/respiration and support unique microbial communities. Piloderma and...
