Development, fire history and current and past growth, of old-growth and young-growth forest stands in the Cascade, Siskiyou and mid-coast mountains of southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Sensenig, Thomas S.
Abstract:: I evaluated fire occurrence, growth and recruitment and determined the fire history of 21 old and 20 young 8ha stands in Cascade, Siskiyou and mid-Coast mixed conifer and evergreen forests in southwestern Oregon. The rates and patterns of growth were measured and analyzed on 1,079 old-growth and 2,111 young stand...

Patterns of crown damage within a large wildfire in the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion

Creator:: Thompson, Jonathan R.
Abstract:: The 2002 Biscuit Fire burned through more than 200,000 ha of mixed conifer/ evergreen hardwood forests in southwestern Oregon and northwestern California. The remarkable size of the fire and the diversity of conditions through which it burned provided an opportunity to analyze the correlates of burn severity across vegetation types...

An investigation into the possible arousal of psychological reactance as a consequence of interest inventory feedback

Creator:: Beller, Stephen Mark
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to determine whether feedback from vocational interest inventories leads to the arousal of psychological reactance. The data for the study was collected from 80 male and female subjects who were first year students at Oregon State University enrolled in Psychology 111, Personal Development. The...

Fire severity and vegetation response to fire in riparian areas of the Biscuit and B&B Complex Fires, Oregon

Creator:: Halofsky, Jessica E.
Abstract:: Fire is the dominant disturbance process in western U.S. forests, and although effects of fire in upland forests are relatively well-studied, there is little information about fire effects on riparian forests, critical areas of the landscape for both habitat and water quality. This dissertation examines different aspects of fire effects...

Evaluating Multi-objective Trade-offs in Mature Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) Stands of Western Oregon

Creator:: Williams, Neil G.
Abstract:: Contemporary forest management involves a more extensive and diverse suite of management objectives than was the case throughout much of the Twentieth Century. Heightened public and political awareness of local and global biodiversity decline, and interest in arresting these trends, has increased the emphasis on broad-based biodiversity conservation as an...

The ecological legacy of Indian burning practices in southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Carloni, Kenneth R.
Abstract:: Two research questions are posed: (1) How have ecosystem conditions changed through time in southwestern Oregon? (2) How have culture-driven and climate-driven processes contributed to ecosystem change in southwestern Oregon? A brief introduction to the Little River study area is followed by a cultural and ecological history of the watershed....

Trade-offs between management for fire risk reduction and northern spotted owl habitat protection in the dry conifer forests of southern Oregon

Creator:: Comfort, Emily Julia, 1974-
Abstract:: There is a perceived trade-off between fire risk reduction and northern spotted owl habitat protection in dry-conifer forests in southwestern Oregon. Management options for balancing this trade-off need to be sought at the landscape level. Applied landscape ecology suggests three important features to consider are (1) patch size and configuration...

Contributions of Epicormic Branches and Delayed Adaptive Foliage in Coastal Douglas-fir under Variable Density Management Regimes

Creator:: Punches, John W.
Abstract:: The contribution of delayed adaptive reiteration to crown maintenance was explored across a wide range of adjacent open space conditions in early-mature (approximately 60 year old) Douglas-fir located on the eastern slope of Oregon’s Coast Range. The stands had experienced uniform thinning in 1964-65 and 1980-81 to release dominant and...

Mixed-Severity Fire Effects on Biological Legacies and Vegetation Response in Pseudotsuga Forests of Western Oregon's Central Cascades, USA

Creator:: Dunn, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Mixed-severity fire occurrence is increasingly recognized in Pseudotsuga forests of the Pacific Northwest, but questions remain about how tree mortality varies, and forest structure is altered, across the disturbance gradient observed in these fires. Therefore, we sampled live and dead biological legacies at 45 one ha plots, with four 0.10...

Prevalence and association of depressive symptoms with physical disability and long-term care use among older American Indians

Creator:: Schure, Marc B.
Abstract:: Health officials have recently been sounding the alarm that depression will soon surpass many of the major medical conditions in causing disability among adults. Recent demographic and health trends are generating public health concern about depression. First, the prevalence of chronic conditions has dramatically increased over the last several generations....
