Correspondence of soil properties and classification units with sagebrush communities in southeastern Oregon

Creator:

Lentz, Rodrick David

Abstract:

This research employed multivariate analytical techniques to statistically examine the relationship between individual soillandscape units (SLUs) in Southeastern Oregon and their associated sagebrush communities. The objective was to determine if soil properties between SLUs differed, describe the variation, and verify that these differences were reflected in the taxonomic class of...

Cardaria draba (L.) Desv. in the sagebrush ecosystem of northeastern Oregon

Creator:

Smergut, Teresa A.

Abstract:

Ranchers and resource managers have become concerned about the role and spread of Cardaria draba (L.) Desv. (whitetop) in the sagebrush steppe of Northeastern Oregon. This area is an important natural resource for livestock production and big game winter range. An area near Keating, Oregon was selected to study the...

Ecological effects of spring and fall prescribed burning on basin big sagebrush : Idaho fescue--bluebunch wheatgrass communities

Creator:

Sapsis, David B.

Abstract:

The vegetation response of spring and fall prescribed fires in basin big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata subsp. tridentata Nutt.)/Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis Elmer)--bluebunch wheatgrass (Agropyron spicatum Pursh. (Scribn. & Smith)) communities was measured at the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument in eastern Oregon. Objectives of the study were to quantify...
