Creator:: Gecy, Jeanne Leslie
Abstract:: Debris flows are a major cause of disturbance to riparian vegetation. Both observational and experimental studies were used to examine the initial recovery of riparian vegetation after debris flows on headwater streams in the western Cascades of Oregon. My goal was to determine the roles of seedlings and vegetative sprouts,...

Creator:: Maret, Mary P.
Abstract:: Prior to European settlement, native prairie dominated the landscape of the Willamette Valley. Today, due to urbanization, agriculture, and the cessation of burning, only isolated remnants of these grasslands still exist. In response to conservation concerns, there has been a move to restore the remaining prairies in the Willamette Valley,...

Creator:: Davis, Kimberly J.
Abstract:: Many studies suggest that weedy plant species are most successful when soil nitrogen in abundant. Consequently, I used soil nitrogen manipulations to determine if altering nitrogen would affect the establishment of both weedy and native plant species in a western Oregon wetland prairie. In two studies, we added carbon amendments...

Creator:: Goodridge, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: Reducing the cover of non-native species is one of the challenges of ecosystem restoration. The goal of this study is to identify native species traits that will increase native species cover and reduce non-native species cover in the first growing season at upland and wetland prairie restoration sites. Native and...

Creator:: Ingersoll, Cheryl A.
Abstract:: The seasonal duration of snow cover is a primary factor influencing the patterns of vegetation in high subalpine and alpine environments, but little is known concerning the responses of plant reproduction and seedling recruitment to gradients of snow-release. Vegetation patterns of a high subalpine site in the Oregon High Cascades...

Creator:: DiFazio, Stephen P.
Abstract:: The influence of overstory openness on the reproductive ecology of Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia Nutt.) was investigated on 4 sites in western Oregon over 2 years. The breeding system of T. brevifolia was found to deviate from pure dioecy under a broad range of canopy and site conditions. Production of...

Creator:: Mayer, Kara Hempy
Abstract:: Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) is a widespread exotic weed in the Intermountain sagebrush steppe. An annual grass, it is highly prolific and very competitive with native perennial grass seedlings. A clipping experiment carried out at two cheatgrass-dominated sites (Lincoln Bench and Succor Creek) in eastern Oregon analyzed effects of defoliation...
