Dissolved Organic Carbon Production and Flux from Long Term Litter Manipulations in a Pacific Northwest Old-Growth Forest

Creator:: Evans, Lucas R.
Abstract:: Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) flux is an important mechanism to convey soil carbon (C) from aboveground organic debris (litter) to deeper soil horizons and can influence the formation of stable soil organic carbon (SOC) compounds. Aboveground litter quantity and quality was manipulated for 20-years in an old-growth Douglas fir forest...

Flow From Flexibility : Identifying Opportunities For Streamflow Restoration in a Transboundary Municipal Watershed Through Water Budgeting

Creator:: Pierson, Jessica S.
Abstract:: Municipal watersheds attempt to balance growing and conflicting demands for water for human use and for ecosystems. The Mill Creek basin, a 295 km2 basin in southeast Washington, exemplifies these conflicts. Since the late 1800s, the City of Walla Walla has withdrawn water from Mill Creek for municipal use. However,...

Comparison and Cultural Review of Biosphere Modeling Using Foliar Uptake of Technetium-99 in Radishes

Creator:: Pierson, Kayla L.
Abstract:: Biosphere models predict the transport of radionuclides in the environment with an end goal of assessing the possible risk to humans. Little data exists to support these mathematical biosphere models. The objectives of this work were to verify foliar uptake in biosphere models using experimental data, compare existing biosphere models...

The University Experiences of First-Generation Polynesian Football Players : An Exploratory Study of Cultural Adaptation

Creator:: Vave, Walker Cook
Abstract:: This study discusses common struggles of first-generation Polynesian football players’ university experiences with cultural adaptation. There is little research on this topic. Because of the importance of these issues and the exploratory nature of this study, a qualitative approach was needed. Interviews were conducted with 15 first-generation Polynesian football male...

The use of natural plant extracts as a feed additive to prevent laminitis in lactating dairy cows

Creator:: Pierson, Miranda L.
Abstract:: Two experiments were conducted looking at both acute and sub-acute laminitis. An acute nutritional induction model was used to examine whether blood profiles and gene expression are similar to other studies conducted using an endotoxin induction model. Twelve sheep were randomly assigned to three treatment groups which were control, 4-hour...

The production of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) over time with change in substrate type, temperature, and mineral soil inclusion

Creator:: Stanton, Alexandria H.
Abstract:: Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) originates from organic matter. Climate and vegetation have been found to alter DOC production. The goal of this study was to determine where the differences in DOC production originate from. Mineral soil and substrate including maple leaves, needles, old wood, and sticks were collected from the...

Detrital Influences on Soil Carbon Stabilization in Wet Temperate Forest Soils

Creator:: Pierson, Derek N.
Abstract:: Soils, with their potential to store and stabilize carbon (C), are an essential resource for sustaining forest productivity, as well as for efforts to reduce atmospheric C concentrations. Protecting existing soil C and harnessing the sequestration potential of our soils require an improved understanding of the processes through which soil...

Courting Elizabeth : the virgin queen and Elizabethan literature

Creator:: Zinck, Jaime
Abstract:: Sixteenth century Elizabeth I of England has long been a figure of interest to Renaissance scholars, and their work largely focuses on how her gender impacted the power, politics, and culture of her day. Many have perceived her to be a heroine whose ingenuity and determination circumvented the limitations imposed...

Waving Arms to Teach & Learn Quantum Mechanics

Creator:: Hahn, Kelby T.
Abstract:: In this dissertation I explore the Arms representation and activities for teaching quantum mechanics invented at Oregon State University. In the Arms representation students embody quantum states. The Arms activities are presented as an exemplar of the unique physics classroom culture of the upper-division Paradigms in Physics program. In the...

Understanding the flavor alterations associated with smoke taint and evaluation of interstimulus protocols to mitigate carryover bias in sensory evaluation of wildfire affected wines

Creator:: Fryer, Jenna A.
Abstract:: First recorded as a problem in 2003, wildfire smoke has been found to affect wine grapes and lead to alterations to a wine’s flavor profile. Smoke can carry organic volatile compounds over vast distances, which can then be deposited on grapes and are absorbed into the grape’s cells. These compounds...
