Songbird communities in burned and logged stands with variable tree retention in the Canadian Rocky Mountains

Creator:: Stuart-Smith, A. Kari
Abstract:: By emulating natural disturbances such as wildfire, managers hope to maintain biodiversity in managed forests. Leaving residual (live) trees in harvested areas is key to this strategy. However, the effectiveness of this approach is unknown. I surveyed songbirds in 176 stands in the Rocky Mountains of southeastern British Columbia, Canada,...

Interactive Science Learning Program for Elementary School Students at Beazell Memorial Forest in Philomath, OR

Creator:: Sweetkind, Reid Smith
Abstract:: The FOCUS (Forest, Organisms, Creeks yoU Study) field trip program was developed to provide elementary students in Benton County, Oregon with a hands-on, environmental education experience at Beazell Memorial Forest. Students participated in activities dedicated to specific habitats and organisms found at Beazell that built upon their learning at school....

The effects of forest fuel reduction on fire severity and long-term carbon storage

Creator:: Mitchell, Stephen Richard
Abstract:: Two forest management objectives being debated in the context of federally managed landscapes in the US Pacific Northwest involve a perceived trade-off between fire restoration and C sequestration. The former strategy would reduce fuel (and therefore C) that has accumulated through a century of fire suppression and exclusion that has...

Characterizing Combustible and Electronic Cigarette Use During the Perinatal Period

Creator:: Seifert, Jessica R.
Abstract:: The use of electronic cigarettes (often referred to as vapes or e-cigs) has grown rapidly in the past decade. While these devices may not deliver the same level of carcinogens and toxicants as combustible cigarettes, they can deliver nicotine (a known developmental toxicant) as efficiently. Previous work suggests that, during...

Experiences of Weight-Based Stigmatization in Healthcare among Young Adults and Impact on Healthcare Engagement

Creator:: Bean, Maddison M.
Abstract:: Weight-based stigmatization (WBS) exists in healthcare and can be categorized as direct, indirect, or structural. WBS is harmful to individual’s health and contributes to worse healthcare engagement, including reduced care satisfaction, patient-centered communication (PCC), and utilization of services. Little is known about young adults’ experiences of WBS in healthcare. Young...

Carnivore Competition: Spatial and Dietary Implications of Gray Wolf Recolonization for Cougars in Northeast Oregon

Creator:: Orning, Elizabeth Kari
Abstract:: After a 40-year absence from Oregon’s landscape, expanding gray wolf (Canis lupus) populations are reestablishing elements of interspecific competition with sympatric large carnivores, like cougars (Puma concolor). This presents new challenges for management of large carnivores and their ungulate prey populations (e.g., elk, Cervus canadensis nelsoni; mule deer, Odocoileus hemionus)...

Classifying Low Streamflow Parameters in Coastal Southeast Alaska Using Game Cameras and Random Forest Models

Creator:: Lanphier, Kari
Abstract:: Southeast Alaska is located on the traditional territory of the Lingít, Haida, and Tsimshian People. It is comprised of the largest temperate rainforest in the world, with subregions receiving over 500 cm of rain annually. Climate change is predicted to alter the region's timing, type, and magnitude of precipitation and...

Changes in body composition and metabolic syndrome risk factors : response to energy-restriction, protein intake, and high intensity interval training

Creator:: Pilolla, Kari D.
Abstract:: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and abdominal obesity (AbOb) increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Energy restriction (ER), highprotein (PRO) intake and high-intensity interval training (HIT) can independently improve MetS and AbOb. However, ER reduces metabolically active lean body mass (LBM) in addition to body fat (BF). Purpose: To...

Belowground carbon storage and soil organic matter quality following fertilizer and herbicide applications in ponderosa pine plantations along a site-quality gradient in northern California

Creator:: McFarlane, Karis J., 1979-
Abstract:: Belowground carbon (C) storage and quality of soil organic matter (SOM) in forest soils have implications for sustainable forest management and C sequestration, but how these pools change in response to management is poorly understood. I investigated whether fertilization and competing vegetation control, applied alone or in combination early in...

Inter-annual variability of net primary productivity across multiple spatial scales in the western Oregon Cascades : methods of estimation and examination of spatial coherence

Creator:: Woolley, Travis J.
Abstract:: Quantifying and modeling processes involved in the global carbon cycle is important to evaluate the temporal and spatial variability of these processes and understand the effect of this variability on future response to changing climate and land use patterns. Biomass accumulation and Net Primary Productivity (NPP) are large components of...
