Host-Induced Gene Silencing in Black Cottonwood for Control of Septoria Canker: Efficacy and Non-Target Impacts

Creator:: Gordon, Michael I.
Abstract:: Septoria canker remains the most important disease of poplars in intensively managed forest plantations. Genetic resistance has long been considered the best way to manage for this disease. Transgenic resistance mediated by RNA silencing against pathogens and pests (HIGS: host-induced gene silencing) has shown promise in other pathosystems but has...

Fifth Oregon climate assessment

Creator:: Dalton, Meghan M., Fleishman, Erica, and Oregon Climate Change Research Institute
Abstract:: Consistent with its charge under Oregon House Bill 3543, the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute (OCCRI) conducts a biennial assessment of the state of climate change science, including biological, physical, and social science, as it relates to Oregon and the likely effects of climate change on Oregon. This fifth Oregon...

Effects of Thinning on Tradeoffs Between Drought Resistance, Drought Resilience, and Wood Production in mature Douglas-fir in Western Oregon

Creator:: Elfstrom, L. Madelene
Abstract:: Recent climate projections predict more frequent and severe drought conditions in western Oregon which is a threat to forest health, productivity, and structure. Land managers are increasingly concerned with how to create forest drought resistance: a tree or stand’s ability to maintain its growth rates during a drought, and resilience:...

Using Metal-Oxo Clusters to Expand Actinide Chemistry

Creator:: Colliard, Ian
Abstract:: A molecular approach to metal oxides allows to the study to fundamental bonding and formation behavior for such metals. Moreover, the molecular nature of such oxides or metal-oxo clusters allows the possibility of exploitation of the properties of the parent oxides. The tetravalent metals, in specific, (M=Zr, Hf, Ce, Th,...

Landscape Genomics and Climatic Responses of Willamette Valley Alders

Creator:: Kral, George L.
Abstract:: The climate of the Pacific Northwest is in flux, and existing forest ecosystems are stressed and poised to shift in fundamental ways, with or without human intervention. This dissertation probes the nature of forest responses to environmental change through investigations of morphology and genetics of three species of alder co-occurring...

Detrital Input and Removal Treatment (DIRT) Network Soil Analysis in the UMBS Michigan Field Site

Creator:: Bushyhead, Coryn N.
Abstract:: Soil contains approximately 75% of the carbon pool on land - three times more than the amount stored in living plants and animals (Schlesinger 1999). Therefore, soils play a major role in maintaining a balanced global carbon cycle. Models of the soil carbon ecosystem assume a strong relationship between organic...

The Deep Sea and Me : using a science center exhibit to promote lasting public literacy and elucidate public perception of the deep sea

Creator:: Darr, Katherine D., East, Jennifer L., Seabrook, Sarah, Dundas, Steven J., and Thurber, Andrew R.
Abstract:: A critical barrier to effective management of deep-sea resources is a lack of understanding by society of the benefits received from the oceans. To address this knowledge gap, we applied an iterative design-based research methodology to evaluate (1) how to effectively use an exhibit to increase public literacy of the...

Central Park's Woodlands: Forest Community Changes After a Decade of Management

Creator:: Hodges, Alexander R.
Abstract:: The woodlands of New York City's Central Park have seen varying levels of management and neglect since the creation of the park over 150 years ago. The Central Park Conservancy has aimed to restore, enhance, and elevate the stewardship of the park, including its woodlands and other Natural Areas, since...

Thermal Ecology and Population Dynamics of Female Greater Sage-Grouse Following Wildfire in the Trout Creek Mountains of Oregon and Nevada

Creator:: Anthony, Christopher R.
Abstract:: The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse) is a ground nesting gallinaceous bird that requires large contiguous patches of sagebrush. Sage-grouse populations have declined, especially in the Great Basin where changes in wildfire regimes and the invasion of annual grasses have contributed to habitat loss and fragmentation. During the last...

eDNA as a tool for identifying freshwater species in sustainable forestry: A critical review and potential future applications

Creator:: Coble, Ashley A., Flinders, Camille A., Homyack, Jessica A., Penaluna, Brooke E., Cronn, Richard C., and Weitemier, Kevin
Abstract:: Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging biological monitoring tool that can aid in assessing the effects of forestry and forest manufacturing activities on biota. Monitoring taxa across broad spatial and temporal scales is necessary to ensure forest management and forest manufacturing activities meet their environmental goals of maintaining biodiversity. Our...
