The variability of selected physical, chemical, and morphological
soil properties in two landtype mapping units on'the Rogue River National
Forest in southwestern Oregon was studied.
The objectives of the study were (i) to quantify soil variability
in several soil resource inventory mapping units, (ii) to explore methods
of describing soil...
In site index studies, the hypothesis that height
growth of most conifers is independent of stand density
is commonly accepted. However, some studies have shown
height growth to be influenced by density particularly
on medium to poor sites.
In this study two locations representing a high
quality site (Hoskins area,...
Fifteen species of Noctuidae (Lepidoptera) were collected in alfalfa and
peppermint in western Oregon. Seven of these species were hosts for the braconid
parasitoid Meteorus communis. The most frequently parasitized (percent) species were
Agrotis ipsilon (35.3), Dargida procincta (15.0), and Peridroma saucia (6.9). Other
species parasitized were Autographa californica (3.8)...
The known biology of Bareogonalos canadensis
(Harrington) is based on literature records of six
collections from three areas in the Pacific Northwest.
The objective of this study was to obtain fundamental
knowledge on the biology of B. canadensis, especially
its distribution, abundance, and host species, as well
as its potential...
