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...

Low Impact Development in the Ash Creek Watershed, Oregon : Feasibility Study and Implementation Tool Design

Creator:: Chalmers, Douglas R.
Abstract:: This study presents potential Low Impact Development (LID) solutions for the Ash Creek watershed and designs several tools to assist localities in implementing the solutions they may choose. Ash Creek is a tributary of the Willamette River flowing through Dallas, Monmouth, and Independence in Polk County, Oregon. Currently, Ash Creek...

Renewal and development of urban river-front occupance : the case of Albany, Oregon

Creator:: Frederick, James Jess
Abstract:: This thesis is concerned with riverfront land use in Albany, Oregon, and is addressed to the possibility of orderly development and redevelopment of the riverfront. It appraises the present situation particularly in regard to the renewal cycle and the problem of floods on the river borders. Finally this thesis provides...

Tree Species Selection Across Municipalities in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Petter, Joshua S.
Abstract:: There are many benefits provided by trees in urban areas. While there are many recommendations on maximizing the returns from urban trees, there has been little research examining how these managers are prioritizing their tree species selection. A survey instrument was constructed to survey Tree City USA designated cities across...

Provenance, lifespan, and phylogeny : testing a conceptual framework for plant community management

Creator:: Benfield, Cara D.
Abstract:: Successful conservation management requires an understanding of how species respond to intervention. Native and exotic species may respond differently to management interventions due to differences arising directly from their native or exotic origin (i.e., provenance) or from differences in life-history or phylogenetic lineage that are associated with provenance. Thus, selection...

Soil Solarization in Pacific Northwest Tree Seedling Nurseries: Effects on Soilborne Plant Pathogens, Soil Nutrients and the Soil Microbiome

Creator:: Weidman, Clara S.
Abstract:: Nursery and greenhouse products are economically important agricultural commodities for Oregon and Washington. Nursery crops including tree seedlings can be damaged or killed by soilborne plant pathogens, which can be challenging to manage because of their persistence in soil and limited options for control. Soil solarization is a pre-planting soil...

The Corvallis, Oregon, rural-urban fringe : conceptualization, delineation, and land use

Creator:: Wales, Robert W. (Robert Ware), 1937-
Abstract:: One of the most explosive social forces of modern-day society is the phenomenon of urban intrusion into predominantly rural areas. The recentness of this "explosion" has not yet allowed for a crystallization of conceptual clearity as to just where this sector or zone, which has come to be known as...

Responses of Pacific Northwest prairies to soil nutrient manipulations : implications for restoration of Castilleja levisecta and control of invasive species

Creator:: Lawrence, Caitlin E.
Abstract:: Pacific Northwest prairies have become significantly reduced in extent, and in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, less than one percent of native upland prairies remain. Many species have been impacted by this extreme loss of habitat, including Castilleja levisecta (golden paintbrush), a threatened hemiparasitic forb species endemic to the Pacific...

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...

Groundwater Flooding and Guerrilla Trenches : a Participatory Approach for Flood Control

Creator:: Kemper, Joseph B.
Abstract:: Residents in South Falls City, a small town in the foothills of Oregon's Coast Range, battle intense flooding during the rainy season. Disagreements about surface water management pit neighbor against neighbor, but preliminary evidence suggests that groundwater flooding is an underlying cause. OSU researchers pair the emerging literature on groundwater...
