  • Development of an expert system for irrigation and fertilization management in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Cao, Weidong
    Abstract:
    Recent advances in computer technology have made possible the development of expert systems. Expert systems are computer programs that perform at the level of a human expert. Expert systems can help integrate and apply diverse sources of information and expertise to problems of integrated crop management. A prototype Crop Management...

  • Novel methods for crop load management of pear cultivars in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Arrington, Matthew A.
    Abstract:
    Novel approaches to crop load management of pear orchards in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are necessary, but will need to vary according to the unique vegetative and reproductive growth habits of the cultivar. 'D'Anjou' is vigorous and non-precocious; thus, strategies to limit vigor and induce early fruiting are required. In...

  • Forb Community Response to Various Disturbances in the Pacific Northwest Bunchgrass Prairie

    Creator:
    Watson, Brogan L.
    Abstract:
    Observed declines in native pollinator species worldwide has generated concern and focused research into the disturbances, past and present, which may have contributed to these losses. In grasslands, for example, habitat degradation and fragmentation from historical and current crop production and livestock grazing has left only a few remnants of...

  • Effects of plant community characteristics on insect abundance : implications for sage-grouse brood-rearing habitat

    Creator:
    Ersch, Erica A.
    Abstract:
    A causative factor in declining greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations is reduced annual recruitment due to poor habitat quality. Sage-grouse population decline is concurrent with a decline in the extent and quality of the sagebrush (Artemisia sp.) biome. However, current research has shown a positive relationship between sage-grouse brood and...

  • A Study of Urban Vegetable Garden and their Soils in Corvallis and Portland, OR

    Creator:
    Nelson, Michael, II
    Abstract:
    Urban agriculture (UA) is defined as the production of food crops or livestock within urban areas. Despite its popularity in the United States, research into UA systems suffers from a general underrepresentation of commercial urban systems. As a result, urban growers often have unique technological needs that are unmet by...

  • Vulnerability and adaptation of Pacific Northwest shellfisheries to ocean acidification

    Creator:
    Katz, Brian G.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to understand the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of shellfish stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest who are adapting to ocean acidification (OA). This study developed a geovisualization tool of existing environmental data for assessing species-specific risk profiles to OA (based on their exposure and sensitivity),...

  • Salmon recovery in the Pacific Northwest : defining what constitutes a wild salmon

    Creator:
    Courter, Ian I.
    Abstract:
    In spite of considerable efforts to restore natural runs of anadromous salmonids in the Pacific Northwest, they remain at risk of extirpation. Along with many other factors influencing the decline, stocking from hatcheries over the past hundred years is often suggested to be a major cause. The listing of over...

  • Fall directions and breakage of riparian trees along streams in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Sobota, Daniel J.
    Abstract:
    In the Pacific Northwest, regulatory agencies have recently implemented management strategies for restoration and maintenance of wood recruitment to streams over time. This allochthonous organic material is a critical component in the geomorphic and biological structure of forested streams. Mathematical models are commonly used to evaluate long-term wood dynamics in...

  • Plant selection, irrigation requirements and stormwater management of Pacific Northwest extensive green roofs

    Creator:
    Shroll, Erin
    Abstract:
    An alternative to traditional roofing, extensive green roofs are contained ecosystems consisting of a drainage layer, a thin media profile which is planted with hardy plant species. Extensive green roof plants must maintain multiple functions while growing in a highly aggregate media at a depth of equal to or less...
