  • The relationship of exchange acidity and exchangeable aluminum in limed and unlimed profile samples of soil from western Oregon to the yield and chemical composition of alfalfa

    Creator:
    Janghorbani, Morteza
    Abstract:
    Acidity distribution within any given soil profile is dependent on mineralogical make-up of the parent material as well as environmental conditions prevalent during the weathering history of the soil. An experiment was designed to study the distribution pattern of exchange acidity, exchangeable aluminum, exchangeable manganese and pH of six acid...

  • Species Distribution Modeling of Citizen Science Data as A Classification Problem with Class-Conditional Label Noise

    Creator:
    He, Liqiang
    Abstract:
    Species distribution models (SDM), which quantify the correlation between the distribution of a species and environmental factors, are increasingly used to map and monitor animal and plant distributions in the context of awareness of environmental change and its ecological consequence. For perfect data, this is a straightforward classification problem from...

  • Susceptibility of Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia Nutt.) to Phytophthora lateralis

    Creator:
    Murray, Marion S.
    Abstract:
    In 1991 Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia Nutt.) was reported as a new host for Phytophthora lateralis Tucker and Milbrath which is an aggressive root rot pathogen thought previously to be specific to Port-Orford-cedar. This study was designed to compare the pathogenicity of P. lateralis on the two hosts, and to...

  • Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) Foraging Ecology During Marine Heatwave Conditions

    Creator:
    Kennerley, William L.
    Abstract:
    Marine heatwaves (“MHWs”) are discrete periods of anomalously warm ocean conditions that can lead to shifts in the distribution and abundance of marine organisms. Low-trophic level, pelagic forage species are frequently among those affected by MHWs, often resulting in considerable impacts upon their predators. In the North Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic...
