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....

A supply chain model for optimizing fixed and mobile bio-oil refineries on a regional scale

Creator:: Mirzaie, Pantea
Abstract:: The use of fossil fuels and their related impact on the environment and global warming have encouraged societies to pursue more sustainable and renewable alternatives, e.g., forest-based bio-oil. Thus, a vital need to decrease the level of greenhouse gas emissions and the tendency of nations to reduce their dependency on...

Techno-Economic Optimization and Environmental Impact Analysis for a Mixed-Mode Upstream and Midstream Forest Biomass to Bio-Products Supply Chain

Creator:: Mirkouei, Amin
Abstract:: Growing awareness and concern within society over the use of and reliance on fossil fuels has stimulated research efforts in identifying, developing, and selecting alternative energy sources and energy technologies. Bioenergy represents a promising replacement for conventional energy, due to reduced environmental impacts and broad applicability. Sustainable energy challenges, however,...

Convergent margin magmatism in the central Andes and its near antipodes in western Indonesia : spatiotemporal and geochemical considerations

Creator:: Salisbury, Morgan J.
Abstract:: This dissertation combines volcanological research of three convergent continental margins. Chapters 1 and 5 are general introductions and conclusions, respectively. Chapter 2 examines the spatiotemporal development of the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex in the Lípez region of southwest Bolivia, a locus of a major Neogene ignimbrite flare- up, yet the least...

Tires, Tracks, and Tethering: Idaho Steep Slope Harvesting

Creator:: Finster, Austin R.
Abstract:: Steep slope timber harvesting often falls under scrutiny of labor, safety, and operational challenges, but is beginning to advance past these barriers through substantial technological progression. Across previous decades, large advancements of technology have occurred in ground-based timber harvesting systems, giving mechanized options to every phase of timber harvesting. These...

Impacts of Range Management Decisions on Native Pollinators: Innovative Grazing Practices and Riparian Restoration

Creator:: Mitchell, Scott R.
Abstract:: Animal pollination is critical to plant reproduction in agricultural and wildland ecosystems. Much of the production of seeds and fruits in natural areas, which underlie many food webs, depends on pollination services by insects. The taxon responsible for delivering the bulk of these services in most temperate systems is bees....

Canopy Effects on the Snow Hydrology of a Forested Mountain Environment in the Pacific Northwest, USA

Creator:: Roth, Travis R.
Abstract:: Rising global temperatures are having lasting effects on mountain snow environments in the form of diminishing snowpacks, shorter accumulation seasons, and shifts in meltwater timing. Seasonal snowpack is a vital source of water for natural and human systems. In the forested mountain landscapes of the Pacific Northwest seasonal snowmelt feeds...

Geomicrobiology of marine sediment containing methane

Creator:: Briggs, Brandon R.
Abstract:: Marine sediments contain an abundance of methane that is biologically produced and plays a significant role in the global carbon cycle. Microbes responsible for the carbon cycle in marine sediments, and the processes that they carry out, need to be characterized in order to fully understand the role of this...

Characterizing drivers of microbial community structure and function in diverse marine sediments

Creator:: Graw, Michael F.
Abstract:: Marine sediments are one of the largest habitats for microbial life on earth. These microorganisms play critical roles in biogeochemical cycling both within the subsurface and between the sediment and water columns. However, microbial communities in sediments are highly heterogeneous and the factors defining microbial community structure and metabolic function...

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...
