Seasonal influences on food availability and diet of coastal cutthroat trout in relation to riparian vegetation

Creator:: Romero, Nicolas
Abstract:: Current riparian management objectives in the Pacific Northwest promote both retention of existing conifers and conversion of hardwood-dominated areas to conifers. Although understanding of relationships between riparian vegetation and salmonid prey availability is growing, temporal variation in these relationships is poorly understood. Seasonal fluxes in availability of aquatic and terrestrial...

Seasonal dynamics of a riparian food web in the Oregon Coast Range mountains

Creator:: Robillard, Amanda Lynn
Abstract:: Riparian areas are eco-tones where aquatically- and terrestrially-derived insect biomass is exchanged between habitats, presenting consumers with new sources of energy, and resulting in a reciprocal subsidy. The relative contribution of energy exchange and the resulting impacts on vertebrate riparian consumers, such as fish or birds, remains poorly understood. We...

Silicic acid and oxidizable carbon movement in a Walla Walla silt loam as related to long-term residue and nitrogen applications

Creator:: Douglas, Clyde Lee
Abstract:: Intensive cultivation of Walla Walla silt loams (coarse silty, mixed, mesic, typic Haploxeroll) in eastern Oregon and Washington during the past 50 years, has decreased internal soil drainage in the 15 to 40 cm layer. However, no measurements have been made to determine the causes and corrective management for this...

Characterizing the response of coralline algae to ocean acidification and nutrient changes in the California Current system

Creator:: Letzing, Sandy
Abstract:: Ocean acidification (OA) has emerged as an important focus of research and policy in this decade. Ocean acidification specifically refers to changes in the inorganic carbon system in the ocean resulting from its absorption of human-released CO₂ from the atmosphere. Anthropogenic atmospheric CO₂ levels are rapidly increasing; much of this...

Extraction and plant availability of cadmium and zinc in a Willamette sandy loam soil

Creator:: Halvorson, Gary Alfred
Abstract:: A Willamette sandy shot loam was treated with ZnC1₂, CdC1₂, or sewage sludge to determine the chemical fate of added Cd and Zn in the soil and their influence on the growth of corn and wheat seedlings. Cadmium was added as CdC1₂ at rates of 0, 5, 20, or 80...

The Impacts of Multiple Stressors on Aquatic Invertebrate Communities in the Umatilla River

Creator:: Clark, Hannah
Abstract:: Rivers impacted by human activities often have multiple stressors present. The effects of multiple stressors on biological communities can often be difficult to predict, due to the potential for complex interactions between stressors and communities. This thesis explores the impacts of two stressors often associated with agricultural land use, increased...

Bacteria die-off in stream sediments

Creator:: Sherer, Brett Micheal
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact sediment has on the survival of bacteria in a typical rangeland stream. This information is an important component in determining a time integrated prediction of bacterial numbers in the stream sediment and overlying water. Bacterial survival in stream is a...

Relationships between forest-floor invertebrate distribution, movement, and microclimate under alternative riparian management practices

Creator:: Rykken, Jessica J.
Abstract:: Headwater streams and their riparian zones are a common, yet poorly understood, component of Pacific Northwest landscapes. I sought to describe the ecological significance of headwater stream riparian zones as habitat for forest-floor invertebrate communities, and to assess how alternative management strategies for riparian zones may impact these communities. I...

Water and solute transport : modeling and application to water conservation in layered soil

Creator:: Mohammed, Fareed H. A. N.
Abstract:: Sandy soils are among the least productive soils because of their inability to store adequate water for plant growth. Their high percolation rate not only allows water to move quickly beyond the root zone, but also washes nutrients below the reach of plant roots. High evaporation occurs from the soil...

Transport and transformations of nitrogen compounds in effluent from sand filter-septic system draintile fields

Creator:: Bushman, Jennifer L.
Abstract:: A total of 44 intermittent sand filter-septic systems, in five counties of Western Oregon, were sampled over a three-month period during the summer of 1995. The sand filter systems varied in age from 36 months up to 167 months (3 to 13.9 years). Liquid samples were taken from the septic...
