Overstory Structure and Community Characteristics of Oregon Ash (Fraxinus latifolia) Forests of the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Prive, Sean
Abstract:: As species of ash trees become increasingly threatened worldwide by exotic pests and pathogens, it is important to develop descriptions of their ecologies that help guide the conservation and restoration of forests in which they are a major component. Oregon ash (Fraxinus latifolia) is a dominant tree species in wetland...

Why pest plant control and native plant establishment failed : a restoration autopsy

Creator:: Wilson, Mark V., Ingersoll, Cheryl A., Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-, and Wilson, Mark G.
Abstract:: Explaining restoration failure can be as important as touting success. We used a series of studies to understand the failure of techniques commonly used to restore wetland prairies in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon. Burning, fallowing, and solarization (covering tilled plots with plastic sheeting to heat the soil) had...

Potential for Coastal Wetland Blue Carbon Offset Projects in the Point Reyes Area

Creator:: Minnick, Margaret T.
Abstract:: Point Reyes is a 100-square mile peninsula located on the California coast about 30 miles north of San Francisco. The peninsula, surrounding bays, and neighboring coastal mainland are a unique biodiversity hotspot. The area underwent heavy human use, including ranching and logging, during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Conservation...

Plant community dynamics in remnant and restored Willamette Valley wetland prairies

Creator:: Schwindt, Rachel A.
Abstract:: Invasion by exotic species can pose a major challenge for developing native plant communities in wetland restoration projects. Often native plant communities do not develop as anticipated in restored wetlands due to colonization by exotic species that dominate the native plant community. Despite the time and expense to restore wetlands,...

Biological control of purple loosestrife Lythrum salicaria (Lythraceae) : stability of control and integration with wetland management practices

Creator:: Schat, Marjolein
Abstract:: Purple loosestrife is a wetland perennial that came to the eastern seaboard of North America in ship ballast and raw wool in the 1800's. Since coming to the United States, it has spread across the country, forming dense monospecific stands in wetlands. Mechanical and chemical control was expensive and ineffective,...

An edaphic study of the Mt. Pisgah Arboretum water garden, Coast Fork of the Willamette River

Creator:: Bergen, Cameron Francis
Abstract:: Wetlands are widely identified as providing important and fundamental processes valuable for maintaining ecosystem health and diversity. Located in the southern Willamette Valley, the Mt. Pisgah Arboretum contains some valuable remaining wetland habitat along the Coast Fork of the Willamette River. One goal of the Mt. Pisgah Arboretum is "to...

The effects of site preparation on native forb establishment in a wet prairie, Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Norman, Katherine N.
Abstract:: Wetlands and wet prairies are economically and environmentally valuable ecosystems, but many have been degraded or converted to other uses. As human understanding of wetlands' value has increased, restoration efforts have grown correspondingly. Restoration attempts use a diversity of methods, which often include seeding with native plant species. This thesis...

Hydraulic characterization and modeling of the Talking Water Garden wetland for evaluation of nitrogen removal

Creator:: Huang, Tao
Abstract:: The purpose of this research is to hydraulically characterize an engineered wetland in Albany, Oregon. The wetland receives treated wastewater from both Albany Millersburg Water Reclamation Facility (AMWRF) and ATI Wah Chang. AMWRF's water is municipal waste water. ATI Wah Chang's water comes from its nearby metal processing plant. The...

A spatially explicit model for allocating conservation efforts : the Grand Ronde River basin, Oregon

Creator:: Watanabe, Michio
Abstract:: The spatial and dynamic pattern of landscape changes has a profound effect on the supply of environmental services, including the provision of habitat for fish and wildlife. Spatial heterogeneity is a common feature of landscapes in the Pacific Northwest, most notably in areas important to the production of salmonid fish...

Effects of timing and duration of flooding on phosphorus release in four restored wetlands around Agency and Upper Klamath Lakes, Oregon

Creator:: Stevens, Carla J.
Abstract:: Upper Klamath Lake (UKL) and Agency Lake in south-central Oregon are hypereutrophic due to phosphorus (P) loading from both geologic and agricultural sources in the watershed. Restoring historic lake-fringe wetlands to provide P sinks around the lakes has been accepted as a favorable means of reducing lake P levels and...
