Bioeconomic Simulation Modeling of Fisheries : Three Essays

Creator:: Cusack, Christopher Inju
Abstract:: Researchers rely on bioeconomic models to guide research and generate fishery management advice for commercial fisheries. Due partly to a paradigm shift towards ecosystem based fishery management, increasing complexity in the characteristics of the problems has meant that bioeconomic simulation models are becoming more prevalent in the fisheries literature. However...

Chasing Tails: Stories for Refining Relationships Between Wolves & Humans

Creator:: Beggen, Kristina
Abstract:: As wolves return to their historic habitats both in Oregon and across the globe, emotions are running high between people either gladdened or disturbed by their homecoming. Prior to colonization, wolves occupied the entire Pacific Northwest alongside Indigenous peoples. However, European settlements that ultimately coalesced to form the state of...

Impact of Dairy Manure Digestate on Microbial Activities in Soil

Creator:: Waggoner, Ashley L
Abstract:: Amendments and fertilizers applied to optimize crop production and improve soil health also supply inputs of soil organic matter (SOM) and nutrients that affect soil microorganisms. In the dairy-intensive Pacific Northwest, dairy manure is stored as slurry mixtures until conditions are appropriate for soil application. During storage, the manure begins...

Targeted development of antivirals against influenza A and respiratory syncytial virus

Creator:: Lupfer, Christopher
Abstract:: Influenza A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are both enveloped, negative strand RNA viruses which infect the respiratory mucosa of animals and humans. Despite decades of research and development of antivirals and vaccines, both of these viruses continue to be a major health concern throughout the world. The focus of...

Limitations to Seedling Regeneration on Tropical Forest Restoration Plantations in Northern Thailand

Creator:: Sangsupan, Hathai A.
Abstract:: This dissertation investigated potential ecological limitations to seedling regeneration in young, seasonally dry, evergreen forest restoration plantations in northern Thailand. We explored whether recruitment of colonizing tree species in the restoration plantations can be attributed to seed dispersal mode (i.e. abiotic or animal dispersal) and seed size. We did this...

Investigating the Benefits and Challenges of Community Fishing Associations

Creator:: Wilson, Erin R.
Abstract:: The Magnuson Stevens Act (MSA) 2007 added Limited Access Privilege Programs (LAPP) in order to provide assistance to fishing communities and community-based associations in order to receive quota allocation. Community fishing associations (CFAs) are a type of program that falls under the LAPP. The MSA emphasizes several eligibility criteria to...

Using systematic evidence review to inform family forest owner educational program development

Creator:: Carlson, Lisa D.
Abstract:: Purpose: Natural resources education and extension is at the intersection of diverse disciplines, where effective practice and policy decisions rely on the impartial evaluation and synthesis of multiple sources of information. This investigation examines contemporary information sources describing attributes of Oregon family forest owners, with the objectives of identifying potential...

Response of Soil Microbially Mediated Nutrient Cycling and Community Structure to Timber Harvest in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Danielson, Rachel E.
Abstract:: Forest harvest persists as one of the most globally important industries, and crucially provides raw wood products for both building and fuel materials. Mechanistically complex abiotic and biotic processes curb ecosystem recovery following timber harvest and it is of great importance to understand the effects of this practice on biogeochemical...

Measuring Electron Activity to Constrain the Role of Soil Structure in the Formation of Biogeochemical Heterogeneity

Creator:: Wanzek, Thomas
Abstract:: Soils have a critical role in global carbon (C) cycling, containing one of the largest fast-cycling carbon stocks on earth. Robust representation of soil organic matter dynamics in Earth System Models is critical for future climate prediction. Current C cycling models assume that all C cycling in non-hydric (i.e. ‘upland’)...
