Our ability to assess the continental impacts of woody encroachment remains compromised by the paucity of studies quantifying regional encroachment rates. This knowledge gap is especially apparent when it comes to quantifying the impact of woody encroachment on large-scale carbon dynamics. In this study, we use a combination of aerial...
The influence of irrigation frequency (same amount of water per day given at different times) on nutrient uptake of container-grown evergreen Rhododendron ‘P.J.M. Compact’ (PJM) and ‘English Roseum’ (ER) and deciduous Rhododendron ‘Gibraltar’ (AZ) grown with different rates of nitrogen (N) fertilizer was evaluated. Increased N application rate increased nutrient...

"Annual report : October 1, 1980 to September 30, 1981" "During the year we continued our studies on the clam resources in Oregon's estuaries. Our objectives were: to collect data for developing a scientifically sound clam management database and to refine techniques for assessing the potential for a commercial clam...
"Completion report : October 1, 1979 to December 31, 1981" "We completed Our assessment of commercial clam harvest potential in Tillamook, Yaquina and Coos bays. All three bays contained commercial quantities of clams. Detailed studies in Yaquina Bay in 1981 revealed a biomass estimate of 2.6 million pounds (1,179.1 mt)...
This paper was written as a book chapter on the ecology and biology of sage grouse. Because the book was never fully developed, we chose to publish the information with the OSU Agricultural Experiment Station.
The development of geothermal resources has been delayed in the United States for several reasons: the ready availability of low-cost fossil fuels, the general remoteness from load centers of geothermal areas, and more recently the illusion that nuclear power plants would provide all our needed power at a low cost...
