Evaluating High Release Rate MCH (3-methylcyclohex-2-en-1-one) Treatments for Preventing Dendroctonus pseudotsugae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Infestations

Creator:: Brookes, Harrison M.
Abstract:: The Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopkins) can kill large numbers of Douglas-fir trees (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco) across a landscape during periods of population outbreaks. High-value individual trees and small stands can be protected from Douglas-fir beetle infestation during outbreaks by applying the anti-aggregation pheromone, MCH (3-methylcyclohex-2-en-1-one). MCH treatments are...

Interactions Between Wild Bee Communities and Douglas-fir Beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsugae) Populations in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsugae menziezii) Forests of the Intermountain West

Creator:: Foote, Gabriel G.
Abstract:: This work combines both applied and basic research regarding previously undescribed relationships between two ecologically and economically important insect groups in coniferous forests, bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) and wild bee (Hymenoptera: Apiformes) communities in Western North America. Across the continent, native bark beetle outbreaks are key drivers of structural...

Basic and applied studies on Douglas-fir beetle : spatial relationships of infestations, lipids and host habitat, and attraction distances of pheromone-baited traps

Creator:: Dodds, Kevin J.
Abstract:: Three studies on Douglas-fir beetle (DFB), Dendroctonuspseudotsuae, were conducted to investigate its basic and applied biology. Studies included investigations into the spatial relationship of DFB infestations over multiple years and multiple landscapes, relationships between DFB brood adult lipid levels and position of development along the length of tree boles, and...

Interactive visualization of Douglas fir forest growth using 3-PG

Creator:: Thompson, Allison
Abstract:: Forests are important to Oregon for their beauty as well as economic value, and Douglas fir trees are among the most common and important in the state. Managing and monitoring Oregon’s forests is imperative to ensure they can remain healthy and productive. One tool that helps forest scientists to understand...

Simulating Effects of Genetic Tree Improvement on Growth and Yield of Coastal Douglas-fir

Creator:: Joo, Sukhyun
Abstract:: Estimating volume gains in genetically improved stands at rotation age is challenging because first-generation progeny tests in Douglas-fir were typically established to measure the relative growth performance of individual trees from open-pollinated parent trees. The overall goal of this dissertation research was to improve growth simulation of genetically improved Douglas-fir...

The impact of microclimate variation on budburst phenology within a mature Douglas-fir tree (Pseudostuga menziesii)

Creator:: Miller, Rebecca A.
Abstract:: Budburst, the initiation of annual growth in plants, is sensitive to climate variation and is therefore used to monitor physiological responses to climate change. Budburst timing can vary between regions of an individual tree, but this phenomenon it is unaccounted for in current monitoring efforts and may contribute to the...

Fungi associated with Douglas-fir seed during cone development, seed processing, and storage

Creator:: Gordon, Lewin Roland
Abstract:: The Pacific Coast form of Douglas-fir in natural forest succession is an intermediate species thriving in the Coast Range and Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest. This species constitutes 26 percent of the standing timber in the United States, and 24 percent of the nation's annual timber harvest. Characteristics of...

A review of the present methods of measuring stand density and a presentation of new research on the application of Crown Competition Factor to Douglas-fir

Creator:: Hicks, Thomas Harney
Abstract:: It is the purpose of this paper to explore the possible application of this relatively new method to second-growth Douglas-fir stands.

The occurrence of abscisic acid in the dormant shoots of Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco]

Creator:: Webber, John Edinburgh
Abstract:: Methanolic extracts of the dormant Douglas-fir shoots (buds, leaves, and stems) were fractionated by solvent partitioning (sodium bicarbonate-diethyl ether). The acidic portion of the extract was subjected to column (Sephadex LH-2O, Silica Gel and Polyvinylpyrrolidone), preparative thick-layer and gas-liquid chromatography. Fractions collected from chromatographic separations were collected and tested for...

Micropropagation of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) in a double-phase culture medium

Creator:: Gross, Leah M.
Abstract:: The timber and Christmas tree industries are important components of the Pacific Northwest economy. A goal of both industries is to produce high quality trees with high growth rates. Accomplishing this requires increased genetic quality of the trees grown. Tissue culture provides the most promise for propagating these superior genotypes....
