Cardaria draba (L.) Desv. in the sagebrush ecosystem of northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Smergut, Teresa A.
Abstract:: Ranchers and resource managers have become concerned about the role and spread of Cardaria draba (L.) Desv. (whitetop) in the sagebrush steppe of Northeastern Oregon. This area is an important natural resource for livestock production and big game winter range. An area near Keating, Oregon was selected to study the...

Comparative seedling growth of diffuse knapweed and bluebunch wheatgrass under altered moisture and temperature regimes

Creator:: Grammon, Arnold A.
Abstract:: In many areas of the Western U.S., diffuse knapweed (Centaurea diffusa Lam.) has invaded into plant communities dominated by bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudomegnaria spicata [Pursh] A. Love). The objectives of this study were to compare growth response of both species when grown under altered moisture and temperature regimes while in the...

Life-history, growth and interference of cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) and yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis L.)

Creator:: Sheley, Roger Leslie
Abstract:: Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) and yellow starthistle (Centaurea soistitialis L.) have invaded over 3 million ha of grasslands in the western U.S. Future management will require an understanding of the conditions, mechanisms, and processes which control species dominance, community dynamics, and desirable plant establishment in these alien dominated annual rangelands....

The effects of defoliation on yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis L.) reproductive capacity

Creator:: Schumacher, Stacy
Abstract:: Yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis L.) is an introduced Asteraceae that has become established on 10 million acres in the Pacific Northwest and California. This weed functions as an annual or short-lived perennial and depends on seeds for reproduction. Strategies of control that reduce plant fitness or lower seed production or...

Structure, abundance, and distribution of pelagic zooplankton in a deep, oligotrophic Caldera Lake

Creator:: Karnaugh, Elena N.
Abstract:: From July 1985 to April 1987 the pelagic zooplankton community of Crater Lake, Oregon was studied to determine taxonomic structure, absolute and relative densities, and spatial and temporal distributional patterns. Samples were collected using vertically-towed zooplankton nets. The community structure consisted of two cladoceran and nine rotifer species, which were...

Benthic macroinvertebrates and sediment characteristics of a coastal dune margin lake (Carter Lake, Douglas County, Oregon)

Creator:: Wones, Andrew G.
Abstract:: Carter Lake, a freshwater, coastal dune-margin lake, was sampled at the beginning and end of the summer of 1986 to determine the sediment characteristics and benthic macroinvertebrate abundance, biomass, variety, and diversity. The distributions of major benthic habitats were estimated by snorkeling in June and July, 1986. Water temperature and...

Ecology of kokanee salmon and rainbow trout in Crater Lake, a deep ultraoligotrophic caldera lake (Oregon)

Creator:: Buktenica, Mark W.
Abstract:: Crater Lake, originally barren of fish, was stocked on an irregular basis from 1888 through 1941 with several species of salmonids. Two species occur in the lake today--kokanee salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). This study was initiated in the summer of 1986 to evaluate the ecology of...

Responses to fertilization and fish stocking in the pelagic ecosystem of a naturally fishless lake

Creator:: Cameron, William A.
Abstract:: Ecologists have studied the responses of pelagic ecosystems to varying levels of nutrient loading and fish predation on many different scales ranging from small experimental enclosures to whole lake systems. There are recurring patterns of response to these two variables, which are generally predictable on the basis of biogeographic, behavioral,...

Effects of hydrology on zooplankton communities in high mountain ponds, Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Girdner, Scott F.
Abstract:: Ten high mountain ponds in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington State, were studied from June through September 1992 to investigate the influences of fluctuating pond volumes on zooplankton communities. A temporary pond of short wet phase duration was inhabited by zooplankton taxa with short generation times and a crustacean taxa...

Factors influencing spawning migration of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in the North Fork Skokomish River, Olympic National Park, Washington

Creator:: Brenkman, Samuel J.
Abstract:: Distribution and life history characteristics of lacustrine-adfluvial bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) were described in the North Fork Skokomish River Basin (including Lake Cushman, a reservoir) from 1994 to 1996. Day snorkeling was conducted in the river to determine initiation of the bull trout spawning migration, abundance of spawners, and duration...
