A Multi-Spatial Scale Economic Analysis of the Impacts of Bear Damage to Douglas-fir on Private Timberlands in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Kline, Kristina N.
Abstract:: Black bears (Ursus americanus) in western Oregon and Washington peel bark from conifers in early spring to forage on the sugar-rich phloem and cambial tissues. This provides important energy at a time when similarly attractive forage is scarce. Bears often damage Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) trees in stands that are intensively...

Insect enemies of Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopk. : indentification of their immature stages and distribution in standing trees

Creator:: Kline, LeRoy N.
Abstract:: The objectives undertaken in this study were: 1) to develop means of identifying the immature stages of the known insect predators and parasites of the Douglas-fir beetle; 2) to investigate the possible distribution, spatially and/or temporal, of the known insect predators and parasites in standing trees infested by the Douglas-fir...

Assessment of Environmental Impacts of Wood Substitution in Commercial Construction

Creator:: Milaj, Kristina
Abstract:: In the residential sector, wood is the predominant construction material. In the commercial sector and in mid‐rise construction, the use of wood is limited because of a multitude of reasons, including building code restrictions, the perception of wood as a structural material, fire code requirements, and lack of knowledge and...

Post-fire recreation management in the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness

Creator:: Brown, Ryan N. K.
Abstract:: Natural events such as wildfires, floods, and storms can significantly alter the short-term structure and functioning of natural systems. Recreation in wilderness areas is one instance in which individuals are directly exposed to post-disturbance landscapes. Consequently, public land managers may be faced with a different set of challenges stemming from...

Transport of water and solutes from tile-drained fields in the Willamette Valley, Oregon : A field scale study

Creator:: Warren, Kristina
Abstract:: Tile drainage increases aeration in the root zone of poorly drained soils by accelerating water movement from the subsurface. Water movement is the main agent of chemical transport, either transporting soluble materials directly (e.g., nitrate) or by transporting the soil particles that bind adsorptive compounds (e.g., pesticides). The detection frequency...

The Genomic Capabilities of Microbial Communities Track Seasonal Variation in Arctic Lagoons

Creator:: Baker, Kristina D.
Abstract:: The lagoons spanning Alaska’s Beaufort Sea coast provide a unique habitat for arctic wildlife. These lagoons and the food webs they support face extreme seasonality with nine months of ice cover followed by a spring thaw that pulses a large amount of freshwater and nutrients into the lagoons. Bacteria link...

Eddy correlation benthic O₂ exchange rates and characterizations of sediment properties from the central Oregon shelf at 30 meters

Creator:: McCann-Grosvenor, Kristina
Abstract:: Rates of benthic O₂ exchange are important measurements for determining organic matter remineralization, and can shed light on factors driving biogeochemical processes in coastal environments. Measurement of in situ O₂ consumption and production within permeable sediments, such as those found over ~43% of the Oregon-Washington shelf, has traditionally been done...

Examining the Relationships Between Wildfire and Communities to Inform Wildfire Prevention and Equitable Policy Implementation

Creator:: Reilley, Caitlyn
Abstract:: Despite the importance of fire for maintaining the health of many ecosystems, the social and economic costs of wildfires have risen sharply in recent years. Across the western United States, historical land and fire management practices combined with climate change and modern human development pressures, are contributing to increased wildfire...

An Analysis of Oregon’s Preferential Forest Property Tax Programs in Relation to Non-industrial Private Forest Landowners’ Tax Program Enrollment Decisions and Forest Management Behavior

Creator:: Rushakoff, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Little is known about non-industrial private forestland (NIPF) owners in relation to Oregon’s two primary preferential forest property tax programs: Forestland Program – the default tax program for many forestland owners, and Small Tract Forestland Option (STF) – a voluntary program wherein landowners pay reduced annual property taxes and an...

Improved viewshed modelling for estimating effects of neighboring land uses on property values

Creator:: Gjesdahl, Jacob E.
Abstract:: The effect of land uses on neighboring property values is of critical interest to urban planners, developers, and citizens. Property values are in part defined by built structure and lot characteristics, locational attributes (e.g., proximity to amenities and disamenities), and other features such as views from a property. The effects...
