Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) and thimbleberry
(Rubus parviflorus) are clonal shrub species common to
reforestation sites in the Oregon Coast Range. These
species have economic importance, because they reduce
conifer seedling growth and survival. A population modeling
approach was used to facilitate study of the biology of
these species and to...
The inter-relationship of salmonberry and Douglas-fir on cutover areas was investigated in the Coast Range of western Oregon. Animal influences affecting the survival of Douglas-fir in a salmonberry
habitat were also investigated. The autecology of salmonberry was considered first by formulating a mathematical model to characterize the lateral encroachment of...
