A 2-year trial was conducted at Oregon State University's Hermiston Agricultural Research and
Extension Center to examine the effects of spunbonded row cover and supplemental calcium fertilization
on blossom-end rot in two varieties of bell pepper. Blossom-end rot is a common cause of bell pepper yield
losses, especially at the...
An optimal interpolation (OI) sequential algorithm is implemented for a three-dimensional primitive equation model to assimilate current measurements from acoustic Doppler profilers moored on the Oregon shelf as a part of the Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST) upwelling experiment (May–August 2001). A stationary estimate of the forecast error...
Methane hydrate found in marine sediments is thought to contain gigaton quantities of methane and is
considered an important potential fuel source and climate-forcing agent. Much of the methane in hydrates is
biogenic, so models that predict the presence and distribution of hydrates require accurate rates of in situ
methanogenesis....
The Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium (http://www.geneontology.org) (GOC) continues to develop,
maintain and use a set of structured, controlled
vocabularies for the annotation of genes, gene
products and sequences. The GO ontologies
are expanding both in content and in structure.
Several new relationship types have been introduced
and used, along with...
This publication is a reference guide for forest soils productivity and management. Main topics include (1) understanding and managing risk, (2) soil characteristics that affect productivity, (3) soil survey information for forestland managers/management of soil erosion, (4) managing mass wasting risk, (5) managing soil disturbance, and (6) maintaining adequate nutrient...
We propose the Breathing Earth System Simulator (BESS), an upscaling approach to quantify global gross primary productivity and evapotranspiration using MODIS with a spatial resolution of 1-5 km and a temporal resolution of 8 days. This effort is novel because it is the first system that harmonizes and utilizes MODIS...
