Assessing the Role of Snow Cover for Regenerating Forests over Post-wildfire Landscapes in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Wilson, Andy C.
Abstract:: Forested, mountain landscapes in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are changing at an unprecedented rate, largely due to shifts in the regional climate regime. Documented climatic trends across the PNW include increasing wildfire frequency and intensity and an increasingly ephemeral snowpack, especially at moderate elevations. One relationship that has yet to...

Development of Quantitative PCR Assays to Aid in Root-knot Nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) Diagnostics and Resistance Breeding Efforts in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Soule, Michelle L.
Abstract:: In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), the two most common root-knot nematodes are Meloidogyne hapla and Meloidogyne chitwoodi. These nematodes can infect a wide variety of crops and can cause significant losses. Currently, it is common for the field of nematology to use labor-intensive microscopy to identify plant-parasitic nematodes based on...

Strategic investments in agricultural industries and Oregon's economic development

Creator:: Koong, Dennis T
Abstract:: This research is concerned with the current debate among Oregonians on how to improve the standard of living and accelerate economic development in Oregon. The main question is what economic activities make Oregon, and regions within Oregon grow? To find out where Oregon's economic strength and weaknesses lie, first we...

Re-examining Ceratomyxa shasta in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Stinson, Matthew E. T.
Abstract:: Ceratomyxa shasta infects salmonids in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of North America, occasionally causing losses in wild and captive populations. Host-specific parasite genotypes (O, I, II, III) were previously characterized molecularly using markers in the ribosomal DNA and phenotypically by type host in the Klamath River, CA/OR. This thesis sough...

An analysis of the import demand for hard red winter and western white wheat in Asian Pacific rim nations

Creator:: Simone, Mark V.
Abstract:: Wheat is a major agricultural product in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). The market class primarily grown in the region is Western White (WW) wheat. An important export market for PNW wheat producers is the Asian Pacific Rim (APR), due to its proximity and economic growth. Agronomic research has been conducted...

Factors limiting the distribution of the sensitive lichen Usnea longissima in the Oregon Coast Range : habitat or dispersal?

Creator:: Keon, Dylan B.
Abstract:: The sensitive lichen Usnea longissima Ach., formerly a fairly common circumboreal species, has been extirpated from much of its range (e.g., Eastern Europe). Although the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) remains a relative stronghold for the species, U longissima faces increasing pressure in the region from habitat loss, air pollution, and...

Multi-hazard framework and analysis of soil-bridge systems : long duration earthquake and tsunami loading

Creator:: Carey, Trevor J.
Abstract:: During the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, numerous bridge structures were damage or destroyed. The damage to bridge systems was caused by long duration strong ground shaking, tsunami inundation forces, or both. Long duration strong ground shaking from subduction zone earthquakes and the multi-hazard scenario of combined earthquake...

Home range and habitat use of pileated woodpeckers, western Oregon

Creator:: Mellen, Teresa Kim
Abstract:: Home range and habitat use by pileated woodpeckers (Dryocopus pileatus) were studied in the Coast Ranges of western Oregon. Radio-telemetry was used to determine home ranges of 11 woodpeckers and habitat use of 14 woodpeckers after young had fledged during summers from 1982 to 1985. Home range size for individual...

An analysis of hedging soft white wheat using the Chicago wheat futures market

Creator:: Levy, Robert Louis
Abstract:: In 1970, the Pacific Northwest (PNW) produced approximately 145,332,000 bushels of wheat (all types) with an average harvest value of over $220,000,000. White wheat comprised about 126,234,000 bushels of that total, about 87 percent. In recent years the financial circumstances, for several reasons, have deteriorated for many farmers and grain...

Prevalence and Characterization of Listeria spp. Recovered from Pacific Northwest Produce Handling and Processing Facilities

Creator:: Jorgensen, John
Abstract:: Foodborne illness in the United States continues to be a complex and recurring issue despite our increased understanding of the pathogenic microorganisms responsible. Foodborne illness outbreaks and product recalls linked to pathogenic bacteria have been more frequent in the produce industry (e.g. fruits and vegetables) in the last ten years....
