Community structure of old-growth Juniperus occidentalis woodlands

Creator:

Waichler, Wendy Sims

Abstract:

Knowledge of old-growth Juniperus occidentalis woodlands, which occur in central and eastern Oregon, is limited. Wise management of these woodlands necessitates a better understanding of the community ecology. The community structure of woodlands at seven sites in three areas of central Oregon was studied. Measurements taken at nine plots per...

Modeling sage-grouse habitat using a state-and-transition model

Creator:

Evers, Louisa

Abstract:

Habitat for wildlife species that depend on sagebrush ecosystems is of great management concern. Evaluating how management activities and climate change may affect the abundance of moderate and high-quality habitat necessitates the development of models that examine vegetation dynamics, but modeling tools for rangeland systems are limited. I developed state-and-transition...

Relationship between allometric variables and biomass in western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis)

Creator:

Sabin, Breanna S.

Abstract:

A tenfold expansion of western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis spp. occidentalis) into the sagebrush steppe has led to the degradation of the economic and ecological potential of these landscapes. Land managers have enacted numerous methods to reduce distributions and densities of these trees. Assessment of above ground juniper biomass, expressed overall...
