Incinerated sewage sludge use as a soil amendment for sweet corn (Zea mays L.)

Creator:: Mellbye, Mark Edward
Abstract:: Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine the suitability of using incinerated sewage sludge ash as a soil amendment for sweet corn production on Willamette silt loam. In 1977, field plots were treated with 0, 11, 22, and 43 mt/ha of ash containing lime, in factorial combination with a...

Influence of Political Liberalism on Contracting Prison Health Care

Creator:: Yarnall, Robert G.
Abstract:: Studies on prison contracting have typically focused on the privatization of entire facilities and carceral services offered to inmates. There has been limited research, however, as to how political ideology influences the extent to which state prisons contract out health care services. There also appears to be a need for...

Functional Comparison of Longline Oyster Aquaculture and Eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) Habitats Among Pacific Northwest Estuaries, USA

Creator:: Clarke, Larissa M.
Abstract:: Understanding the ecological role of Pacific oyster aquaculture (Crassostrea gigas) and eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) as important habitats in US Pacific Northwest estuaries is critical for management and regulatory decisions. The oyster aquaculture industry is currently restricted by regulations concerning impacts of their activities on Z. marina. This seagrass is...

Juvenile Pacific Oyster Growth and Food Resources in Eelgrass Habitats of Variable Shoot Density in Tillamook Bay, OR: Ecosystem Interactions for Management Consideration

Creator:: Merrill, Julianne
Abstract:: As the global demand for seafood increases each year, there is a growing need to expand sustainable aquaculture in the interests of food security and resilience of coastal communities. Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas, are grown in West coast estuaries - where cultures often overlap with the federally protected native eelgrass,...

On the Edge : Assessing Fish Habitat Use Across the Boundary between Pacific Oyster Aquaculture and Eelgrass in Willapa Bay, WA

Creator:: Muething, Kelly A.
Abstract:: Estuaries are an important ecological link between terrestrial, freshwater, and marine systems, but are also subject to a variety of human pressures. Along the West Coast of the United States, shellfish aquaculture is one extensive use of estuarine tidelands. Specifically, Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) aquaculture has been practiced for almost...

Relationship between Ascarophis Sp. (Nematoda: Cystidicolidae), Sturgeon Feeding Pit Density and Ghost Shrimp Burrowing Behavior

Creator:: Brockman, Joseph N.
Abstract:: Bioturbation caused by ghost shrimp, Neotrypaea californiensis, burrowing activity can negatively affect Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, aquaculture through their burial and subsequent suffocation. The shellfish aquaculture industry used chemicals to control burrowing shrimp populations in Washington State estuaries for decades, but, due to public and governmental scrutiny, that practice has...

The effects of channel modification on characteristics of streams during low flow

Creator:: Atkinson, Brett
Abstract:: Fluorescent dye was used to assess summer low flow hydraulic retention and transient storage (dead zone) associated with fish habitat structures at Camp Creek, Drift Creek, and the East Fork of Lobster Creek within the central Coast Range of Oregon. Utilizing channel units to stratify stream reaches, the effect of...

Arthropod community structure in regenerating Douglas-fir and red alder forests : influences of geography, tree diversity and density

Creator:: Schaerer, Brett L.
Abstract:: The structuring of canopy arthropod communities was reviewed and investigated in relation to tree species diversity and its component factors, interspersion of different species and density of each tree species. Fifteen treatments of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and red alder (Alnus rubra) (various densities and proportions of each) were randomly assigned...

Policy Patterns across Riverscapes : Riparian Land Standards in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Boisjolie, Brett A.
Abstract:: Land management policies are ideas about nature projected onto the landscape. Culminations of social, economic, and scientific influences, these policies create standards affecting the function of ecological systems. In the case of riparian lands in the Oregon Coast Range, policy requirements vary considerably across federal, state, and private land ownerships....

Utilization of the Non-Native Seagrass, Zostera japonica, by Crab and Fish in Pacific Northwest Estuaries

Creator:: Sund, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The introduction of non-native species often results in fundamental changes in the structure and function of disturbed environments. In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), the introduced seagrass Zostera japonica is rapidly expanding in distribution, impacting stakeholders and public use of the intertidal. Z. japonica’s expansion has prompted a number of different...
