Creator:: Randow, Brianna Lyn
Abstract:: Species selection is a complex process that forage producers and land managers face. Accurate tools and educational materials are needed to help make the decision process easier. Crop simulation models are one tool that could be utilized to predict yield and potential financial return of various species. Two crop simulation...

Full Text:: selection process and in predicting landscape- level productivity. 1.3.1 Production Potential

Creator:: Detweiler, Amy Jo and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Growing native plants can be rewarding in many ways. They add beauty with colorful flowers, foliage, texture, and scents. If planted in a suitable habitat, native plants are well adapted to our soils and climate. This reduces the need for supplemental water (once established) and maintenance, and makes it easy...

Full Text:: plant health. When grown in the right conditions, native plants typically experience less

Creator:: Heider, Christopher
Abstract:: In the tropics, widespread deforestation and conversion of primary forests to agricultural and pasture lands has resulted in losses of composition, structure, and functions of forest landscapes. Deforestation in the tropics is typically preformed via slash-and-burn practices; the byproducts from combustion have been identified as the second-highest form of anthropogenically...

Full Text:: the landscape-scale variation in plant species and structure within primary tropical forests

Creator:: Lattier, Kim Shearer
Abstract:: Hereditary variation is a vital component in the development of new and improved cultivars of landscape plants. Sources of hereditary variation include naturally occurring variation, recombination due to controlled crosses, artificial mutagenesis, and genetic modification via biotechnology. Here I explore all methods with the exception of genetic modification via biotechnology....

Creator:: Freese, Mark T.
Abstract:: Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) habitat research has historically focused on fine-scale (0.007 - 0.032 ha) vegetation structure and composition immediately surrounding sites selected by birds. However, little work has evaluated vegetation attributes important for Greater Sage-grouse at a landscape-scale or identified landscape attributes that influence habitat use patterns. Habitat use...
