Phytophthora lateralis is the causal agent of cedar root rot, a fatal forest pathogen whose principal host is Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (Port-Orford-cedar), a predominantly riparian-restricted endemic tree species of ecological, economical, and cultural importance to coastal Oregon and California. Local scale distribution of P. lateralis is thought to be associated with...

Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) has a wide distribution in North America and is one of the
tree species most widely distributed outside its natural range. The species has been introduced to
Europe, New Zealand, South America, and elsewhere around the world. At present, Douglas-fir
is an accepted and integral part of...

Tile drainage increases aeration in the root zone of poorly drained soils by
accelerating water movement from the subsurface. Water movement is the main agent
of chemical transport, either transporting soluble materials directly (e.g., nitrate) or by
transporting the soil particles that bind adsorptive compounds (e.g., pesticides). The
detection frequency...

Title: Transport of Water
Atmospheric measurements of semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) were made at Mt. Bachelor Observatory (MBO), located in Oregon’s Cascade Range, to understand the trans-Pacific and regional transport of SOCs from urban areas. High volume air sampling (~644 m³ for 24 hour periods) of both the gas and particulate phases was conducted...
