Research was conducted at the Starkey Experimental Forest and
Range in northeastern Oregon to determine cattle performance, diet
quality, botanical composition of forage ingested, and production
and utilization among rest-rotation, season-long, and deferred
rotation grazing systems. The grazing season lasted from June 20 to
October 10 of each year. Cows...
The Miridae, or plant bugs, associated with noble fir, Abies
procera Rehd., are discussed. Thirty six species of the Miridae were
collected from noble fir. Twenty five of these species are considered
only "visitors" to noble fir. The study does not deal with these
species. Noble fir is a host...
The objectives of this study were to provide a comprehensive review of the risks and benefits of using adulticides to reduce risk of mosquito-borne disease (particularly West Nile Virus) transmission to humans, as well as to decrease annoyance from nuisance mosquitoes. The study was designed with two major research components,...
This study involved the development of two bilingual and inquiry-based forest education programs within the Central Willamette Valley of Oregon. The first program used the participatory research (PR) process to engage 7th and 8th grade Latino students as participatory researchers to interview members of their community to learn their perspectives...

Oregon's estuaries are important ecosystems for scientific study. Consequently, knowledge of what research has been conducted helps us identify benchmarks and plan new projects. A comprehensive bibliography of published research, technical reports, local documents, and data sets is one means of recording this knowledge. For these reasons, the Guin Library...
Due to a growing body of literature documenting declines in pollinator populations, there has been increased public interest in pollinator conservation. In urban and suburban landscapes, many gardeners and urban land managers are interested in gardening for pollinators, particularly bees. Simultaneously, many homeowners and municipalities are interested in other aspects...
Experiments focusing on plant growth regulators’ concentrations and combination, mineral salt formulations and TDZ pretreatment formations were conducted to optimize in vitro shoot regeneration from leaf and petiole explants of 'Marion' blackberry. Optimum shoot formation was obtained when stock plants were incubated in TDZ pretreatment medium for three weeks before...
