Measurement and modeling the physical controls of snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Mazurkiewicz, Adam B.
Abstract:: The physical controls of snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are poorly understood. While there have been numerous field and modeling investigations at the plot and watershed scale, few studies have identified how the snow energy balance (EB) components vary in importance both spatially and temporally. The identification of how...

The historic and contemporary ecology of western Cascade meadows : archeology, vegetation, and macromoth ecology

Creator:: Highland, Steven A.
Abstract:: Montane meadows in the western Cascades of Oregon occupy approximately 5% of the landscape, but contribute greatly to the region's biodiversity. Western Cascades meadows are dynamic parts of the landscape and have contracted by over 50% in the past two hundred years in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (hereafter Andrews...

The development and decline dynamics of two ectomycorrhizal fungal mat soil microbial communities in response to a reciprocal soil transfer experiment in old-growth Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Cappellazzi, Jed E.
Abstract:: Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EmF) form symbioses with trees. These symbioses profoundly influence forest ecology. Certain EmF form specialized profusions of hyphae, known as ectomycorrhizal fungal mats (mats) which are visible to the naked eye, alter forest soil biogeochemistry, substantially contribute to soil microbial biomass/respiration and support unique microbial communities. Piloderma and...

Butterflies of the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest : biological inventory and ecological analysis

Creator:: Ross, Dana N. R.
Abstract:: A biological inventory of the butterflies of the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest [HJA] in Linn/Lane County, Oregon was conducted during 1994 and 1995. It was the first comprehensive survey of HJA butterflies for the site and serves as a baseline for future butterfly research. A detailed ecological account is...

Patterns of chronic wind mortality in a small, old-growth Pseudotsuga menziesii forest in the western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Littlefield, Sam, 1980-
Abstract:: Windthrow has been studied extensively as a cause of mortality and as a landscape disturbance agent in temperate forests throughout the United States. The effects of windthrow mortality on stand species composition and structure, forest regeneration and seral development have been well described at the site (e.g. single gap) and...

Inter-relationships of vegetation, hydrology and micro-climate in a young, Douglas-fir forest

Creator:: Barnard, Holly Rene
Abstract:: The links between forests, streamflow, and climate are poorly understood. Despite hundreds of studies over the past 60 years, fundamental questions of forests' effects on the hydrologic cycle remain unanswered. The hydrological cycle involves mutually-dependent biological and physical processes that operate at multiple scales of time and space, and this...

Carbon dynamics in the hyporheic zone of a headwater mountain stream in the Cascade Mountains, Oregon

Creator:: Corson-Rikert, Hayley A.
Abstract:: This study investigated carbon dynamics in the hyporheic zone of a steep, forested catchment in the Cascade Mountains of western Oregon, USA. Water samples were collected monthly from a headwater stream and well network during baseflow conditions from July to December 2013 and again in March 2014. We also sampled...

Headwater stream characterization : an energy and physical approach to stream temperature using distributed temperature sensing

Creator:: Roth, Travis R.
Abstract:: Headwater streams are an integral part of the ecological health of the greater stream network as they provide valuable biological habitat, provide upwards to 95% of total in channel flow, while providing downstream reaches with important constituents such as sediment and woody debris. Small headwater streams are particularly susceptible to...

Homogenization of Detrital Leachate in an Old-Growth Coniferous Forest, OR : DOC Fluorescence Signatures in Soils Undergoing Long-Term Litter Manipulations

Creator:: Strid, April R.
Abstract:: Soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a small but crucial part of the forest carbon cycle. Characterizing the relationship between detrital inputs and soil DOC chemistry is crucial to understanding the ultimate fate of root carbon, fallen wood and needles. Chemical differences in the DOC pool may help to explain...

Precipitation-snowmelt timing and snowmelt augmentation of large peak flow events, western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Jennings, Keith S.
Abstract:: Despite advances in the understanding of rain-on-snow storms and their resulting peak flows, little is understood about the response of snowmelt to precipitation and the relative timing of the two at multiple temporal scales within such events. To address this issue, climate, snowmelt, and streamflow data were analyzed for 26...
