Rate of emergence is an important character for stand
establishment. Ability of wheat seeds to germinate and
emerge rapidly under different climatic conditions may be
regulated by physical and/or physiological characteristics.
Seeds of 26 wheat varieties representing five classes
were produced in two different environments (Moro and Corvallis,
OR). Seed...
Small commercial and non-commercial animal enterprises (SCAEs) raise a few
beef cows, horses, pigs, sheep, poultry, and other animals on a few acres. These
enterprises are often located in suburban areas of watersheds and show potential for
degrading water quality through to increased bacterial, nitrogen, and phosphorus
concentrations. SCAEs implement...
This publication describes blueberry cultivars, including northern highbush, southern highbush, rabbiteye, lowbush, and half-high types. It includes information on commercial value and identifies which cultivars work well for home gardens.

This prioritization is designed to provide strategic focus for tidal wetland conservation and restoration actions undertaken in partnership with willing landowners. The stufy highligts land areas in the Umpqua River Estuary where tidal wetland restoration or conservation action may offer the biggest ecological "bang for the buck" - that is,...
In this expanded new edition of Living with Earthquakes, Robert Yeats, a leading authority on earthquakes in California and the Pacific Northwest, describes the threat posed by the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a great earthquake fault which runs for hundreds of miles offshore from British Columbia to northern California. New research...
This project surveyed and prioritized 36 tidal and freshwater wetland sites totaling 733 ha (1811A) in the Elk and Sixes River basins of Curry County, Oregon. Sites surveyed included emergent, scrub-shrub, and forested wetlands. The goal was to prioritize these wetland sites for voluntary conservation and restoration actions by willing...
Conservation banking is a market-based instrument and conservation tool designed to provide compensatory mitigation for impacts to endangered species. These banks provide both ecological and economic benefits, however their ability to continue providing these benefits is threatened by climate change. The motivational factors behind the decisions to establish a conservation...

This dissertation integrates a process-based hydrological investigation with an
ongoing paired-catchment study to better understand how forest harvest impacts
catchment function at multiple scales. We do this by addressing fundamental questions
related to the stocks, flows and transit times of water. Isotope tracers are used within a
top-down catchment intercomparison...

More than 200 sites between 500 and 2000 meters elevation
were examined utilizing a reconnaissance sampling technique for a
portion of the eastern slopes of the northern Oregon Cascade Mountains.
Twelve different forested plant communities were described
with data on vegetation, soils and topography. A map of their distribution
and...

Home gardens produce the best yields when planted with vegetable varieties adapted to local growing conditions. These variety trials may assist market growers and home gardeners in choosing adapted varieties, based on qualities
that are important to them (such as appearance, earliness, flavor, yield, and disease resistance).
This study focuses in providing the knowledge on carbon (C) stocks, emission and ecosystem productivity related to land use/land cover change in tropical peatlands. The field research activities were conducted for about 17 months between August 2013 to December 2015, at Pematang Gadung peat dome (peat depth up to 10.5...

Orchard floor management (OFM) practices can improve soil function and alter
the soil biological community. Soil function is dependent on soil forming materials and
on management practices but little is known about how OFM affect orchard soil quality,
fertilizer N uptake, or tree growth and production.
Research plots were located...

Studies on net carbon exchange, ¹⁴
C assimilation, and growth
analysis were done on four cultivars of high yielding soft white
winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell), Anza/Sturdy, Hill-

and yield, to see if differences in production and distribution

In this thesis we focus on a graphical model for multivariate spatially
correlated data--isomorphic chain graphs (ICG; Gitelman and Herlihy, 2007).
We feel ICG allow flexibility for modeling spatial correlation and are intuitively
appealing because each model has an associated graph that visually represents a
complex multivariate system. We examine...
