Using rootstocks to manipulate vine physiological performance and mediate changes in fruit and wine composition

Creator:: Sampaio, Tiago Luís Barros
Abstract:: A rootstock trial was established in 1997 at the OSU Woodhall vineyard, located in the Southern Willamette Valley, which included two experiments. The first experiment was a factorial of four varieties grafted on to 9 rootstocks, and also as ungrafted vines (a split-plot design). The second experiment was a randomized...

Measuring Electron Activity to Constrain the Role of Soil Structure in the Formation of Biogeochemical Heterogeneity

Creator:: Wanzek, Thomas
Abstract:: Soils have a critical role in global carbon (C) cycling, containing one of the largest fast-cycling carbon stocks on earth. Robust representation of soil organic matter dynamics in Earth System Models is critical for future climate prediction. Current C cycling models assume that all C cycling in non-hydric (i.e. ‘upland’)...

Assessing the role of reactive metal species in soil organic matter cycling using chemical imaging

Creator:: Keiluweit, Marco
Abstract:: Intimate associations with reactive metal species permanently protect soil organic matter (SOM) from microbial access and oxidation, contributing to the build-up of organic carbon (C) stocks in soils. It is increasingly recognized, however, that such associations can be reversible and that reactive metal species might even facilitate the oxidation of...

Diversity and Activity of Microbial Extracellular Peptidases in Soil

Creator:: Nguyen, Trang T. H.
Abstract:: Soil nitrogen exists largely as organic matter, including plant liter, dead animal matter, and microbial necromass. About 90% of soil organic nitrogen is proteinaceous material that is too large for plants and microorganisms to assimilate directly. Protein depolymerization therefore plays a critical role in mobilizing this organic source of nitrogen,...

Use of decision tree analysis for predictive soils mapping and implementation on the Malheur County, Oregon initial soil survey

Creator:: Hash, Sarah Jane
Abstract:: Soil surveys provide essential information for making land use and management decisions on publicly-owned lands in the semi-arid Great Basin. Soil maps produced with conventional mapping techniques are time-consuming, costly, and do not explicitly document the soil scientist's mental soil-landscape model. Predictive soils mapping using decision tree analysis (DTA) can...
