Sensory changes in later life

Creator:: Schmall, Vicki L., Oregon State University. Extension Service, Washington State University. Cooperative Extension, University of Idaho. Cooperative Extension Service, and United States. Department of Agriculture
Abstract:: The efficiency of the sensory organs—vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch—declines with age, but the age of onset and rate of decline differ markedly among people. This publication explains the sensory changes older people experience and suggests what you can do to help.

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...

Climate effects on red alder growth in the Pacific Northwest of North America

Creator:: Cortini, F., Comeau, P. G., Wang, T., Hibbs, D. E., and Bluhm, A.
Abstract:: We investigated the effects of climate on the growth of red alder across a broad latitudinal gradient and over a wide range of growing conditions in the Pacific Northwest of North America (PNW). Data for this study came from a study established in 1988 that includes 31 research installations located...

Trait-based approaches to linking vegetation and food webs in early-seral forests of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Campbell, John L. and Donato, Daniel C.
Abstract:: Both the structure and composition of naturally generated early-seral forests in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) can be profoundly different than that of more developed forest seres, especially in the period after a major disturbance but before conifers re-develop a closed canopy. While it is reasonable to suggest that the unique...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of recent mountain pine beetle and western spruce budworm outbreaks across the Pacific Northwest Region, USA

Creator:: Meigs, Garrett W., Kennedy, Robert E., Gray, Andrew N., and Gregory, Matthew J.
Abstract:: Across the western US, the two most prevalent native forest insect pests are mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae; a bark beetle) and western spruce budworm (WSB; Choristoneura freemani; a defoliator). MPB outbreaks have received more forest management attention than WSB outbreaks, but studies to date have not compared their...

MeintsDevelopingWinterFoodBarley.pdf

Creator:: Meints, Brigid, Cuesta-Marcos, Alfonso, Ross, Andrew S., Fisk, Scott, Kongraksawech, Teepakorn, Marshall, Juliet M., Murphy, Kevin, and Hayes, Patrick M.
Abstract:: Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has been cultivated for human consumption for thousands of years. However, most North Americans do not consume barley on a regular basis. In the last decade, there has been a renewed interest in barley production for human consumption. A number of quality traits estimate nutritional value...

Is the intensifying wave climate of the U.S. Pacific Northwest increasing flooding and erosion risk faster than sea level rise?

Creator:: Ruggiero, Peter
Abstract:: The relative contributions of sea level rise (SLR) and increasing extra-tropical storminess to the frequency with which waves attack coastal features is assessed with a simple total water level (TWL) model. For the coast of the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) over the period of wave-buoy observations (~30 years) wave height...

Camelina: Seed Yield Response to Applied Nitrogen and Sulfur

Creator:: Wysocki, Donald J., Chastain, Thomas G., Schillinger, William F., Guy, Stephen O., and Karow, Russell S.
Abstract:: Camelina (Camelina sativa L. Crantz) has received worldwide attention in recent years as a biofuel crop and as a broadleaf option in cereal-based cropping systems. The objective of our 3-year study was to determine camelina seed yield and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) as affected by six applied nitrogen (N) rates...

Carbon balance on federal forest lands of Western Oregon and Washington: The impact of the Northwest Forest Plan

Creator:: Krankina, Olga N., Harmon, Mark E., Schnekenburger, Frank, and Sierra, Carlos A.
Abstract:: The management of federal forest lands in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) region changed in early 1990s when the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) was adopted with the primary goal to protect old-growth forest and associated species. A major decline in timber harvest followed, extending an earlier downward trend. The historic and...

A forest vulnerability index based on drought and high temperatures

Creator:: Mildrexler, David, Yang, Zhiqiang, Cohen, Warren B., and Bell, David M.
Abstract:: Increasing forest stress and tree mortality has been directly linked to combinations of drought and high temperatures. The climatic changes expected during the next decades – large increases in mean temperature, increased heat waves, and significant long-term regional drying in the western USA – will likely increase chronic forest stress...
