Creator:: Morrow, Robert J.
Abstract:: The dynamics of stands In old-growth ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests on the eastern flank of the central Oregon Cascades are Investigated. Age structure and spatial pattern of ponderosa pine within the Pringle Falls Experimental Forest Research Natural Area coupled with the fire history of the area aid In Interpreting...

Creator:: Garber, Sean M.
Abstract:: Knowledge of stand structure, stand dynamics, and production ecology of species mixtures lags well behind that of single-species, even-aged stands. Two mixed-species spacing trials in central Oregon allowed investigation of mixed-species dynamics in a controlled experimental setting. The first site, Pringle Butte, is a mixture of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa...

Creator:: Kerr, Kelly L.
Abstract:: Vegetation patterns and species distributions are strongly linked to soil moisture regimes, and populations within a species from contrasting climatic regimes could exhibit differences in the degree to which certain functional traits related to establishment are expressed. Tree seedling survival is crucial for forest regeneration, and thus may be a...

Creator:: Knutson, Kevin C.
Abstract:: Pinyon-juniper woodlands throughout the western U.S. have expanded rapidly following European settlement during the late 19th century. In central and eastern Oregon, western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis var. occidentalis Hook.) encroachment has been previously documented in the sagebrush steppe and upper elevation aspen communities. While these vegetation changes and dynamics have...

Creator:: Lindsay, Amanda A.
Abstract:: Northeastern Oregon geology and climate provides moderately productive conditions for forest management and timber production. Although site preparation and planting are commonly used silvicultural practices, little research exists on the efficacy of specific forest herbicides and responses of seedling survival and growth in this region. This research seeks to improve...
