Influences of salvage logging on forest birds after fire in the eastern Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Cahall, Rebecca E.
Abstract:: Previous research examining the influences of post-fire salvage logging on abundances of birds has focused primarily on the response of cavity-nesting species. There is limited research in regard to the impact of salvage logging on a broader range of bird species. In addition, little is known about how different intensities...

Prey swimming behavior and culture techniques for copper, Sebastes caurinus, and quillback rockfish, S. malinger

Creator:: Gilbert, Thom H.
Abstract:: Rotifers and brine shrimp (Artemia) are important prey items for rearing marine fish larvae. Their availability in the water column may be reduced when they are transferred to larval rearing tanks at lower temperature. In this study, Brachionus rotundiformis (SS-type) and Brachionus plicatilis (L-type) were semi-continuously cultured and fed on...

Determining the Influence of Nutrition and Temperature on the Growth and Development of Camassia spp.

Creator:: Davis, Matthew C.
Abstract:: As a key historic component of prairies in the Pacific Northwest, Camassia spp. should play a role in the restoration of these ecosystems. To do so effectively, further study of Camassia spp. propagation is warranted. Thus, the growth, N uptake and allocation, and seasonal thermoperiodicity of Camassia spp. was examined....

Diving into Diversity: Fish Populations and Climate Resilience in an Endorheic Basin

Creator:: Dew, Aleah
Abstract:: The Goose Lake Basin, situated on the border of Oregon and California, USA, faces significant challenges from drought, wildfire, and other environmental stressors. This region hosts numerous endemic fish species such as the Goose Lake redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss newberri), Goose Lake lamprey (Entosphenus sp.), Goose Lake tui chub (Siphateles...

Environmental Stressors Influence Fabaceae Seedling Development

Creator:: Gerber, Kaitlin A.
Abstract:: Sites in need of restoration typically have one or more environmental factors that limit seedling establishment; identifying ecophysiological responses to environmental stressors can be advantageous in growing seedlings able to overcome such constraints on survival. To maximize survival after outplanting, seedlings should be grown in a manner that considers both...

Exploring Alternative Approaches for Native Plant Production and Ecological Restoration in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Placido, Wilman M.
Abstract:: Global recognition of the need for ecosystem restoration and revegetation following natural and anthropogenic disturbances has been growing in recent years. Successful programs often depend on the use of nursery-grown seedlings and appropriate mitigation of limiting factors on outplanting sites. Nursery production of high-quality native plants for restoration can be...

Effect of Root and Shoot Manipulation on the Morphology and Physiology of Oregon White Oak (Quercus garryana) Seedlings in the Nursery and Following Outplanting

Creator:: Baumgart, Erin E.
Abstract:: Oregon white oak, or Garry oak (Quercus garryana), has been adversely affected by land-use conversion, landscape fragmentation, and anthropogenic fire suppression. Its historical range has contracted significantly to the point where an estimated 1-5% remains intact. Natural regeneration is difficult due to a lack of seed sources and the physiological...

Addressing Seedling Production Challenges for Hispaniolan Pine and Snowberry

Creator:: St. John, Christina M.
Abstract:: The use of native plants in restoration and afforestation has increased worldwide as their benefits to habitat quality, ecosystem services and local community well-being become widely known. In many restoration and afforestation sites, the most cost-effective and efficient way to establish plants is to use seedlings. Unfortunately, there is a...

Influence of Limited Water Access on Douglas-fir Seedling Root Systems, Physiology, and Growth

Creator:: Sheridan, Rebecca A.
Abstract:: Nursery-grown seedlings are critical for attaining reforestation and restoration success in many ecosystems, including mixed-conifer forests in the Northwest, which is the native range for Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Seedling establishment after planting depends on coordinated responses in seedling growth, physiology, and hydraulic function. The chapters in this dissertation review growth...

Impacts of Porous Support Geometry on Membrane Performance and Energy Use in the Steam Reforming Process

Creator:: Chamorro, Davis S.
Abstract:: Increasing interest in hydrogen as a clean and efficient energy carrier has driven the need to improve its production and distribution methods. Of particular interest is the natural gas reforming process which currently accounts for 48% of hydrogen production in the United States. Existing natural gas delivery infrastructure and challenges...
