Water chemistry measurements taken at or downstream of Fall Creek Reservoir, OR (43.9459714, -122.755765). Fall Creek is a tributary of the Middle Fork Willamette River, located approximately 20 miles SE of Eugene, Oregon, USA.
Water chemistry measurements included water samples collected from the reservoir outflow (during autumn drawdown) and within...
Jurassic rocks exposed in the Buckskin Range of the Yerington district,
represent the upper 1 to 2 km of a large magmatic-hydrothermal system with
porphyry copper deposits at 1-4 km depth. These rocks include, from deep to
shallow, the Yerington batholith, the Artesia Lake Volcanics (intruded by the
batholith), and...
The study related the density of herbivores to the length and density of Prionitis spp. in Oregon’s coastal tidepools. Oregon’s coastal rocky intertidal tidepools contain a variety of species interactions, including algal grazing by herbivores. The red branched algae Prionitis spp. is found throughout the rocky intertidal in the low...
In vivo spectral analysis of radish leaves sought effects on radish light harvesting apparatus (LH) of the herbicides: clomazone (FMC57020; [2-(2-chlorophenyl) methyl-4,4 dimethyl-3-isoxalidinone), diuron (DCMU; [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-l,ldimethylurea)] and amitrol (H-1,2,4-triazole-3-amine). All herbicides used cause visual symptoms of chlorosis or damage chloroplast membranes and thus disrupt LH structure. The spectra were obtained...
One important cool-season perennial grass seed crop grown in Oregon is fine fescue (Festuca rubra L.). Open-field burning has been used for many decades to manage pests, cycle nutrients, and stabilize yield, in fine fescue seed fields, especially as stands age. Legislative restrictions currently limit open-field burning to 6,070 hectares...
Capture-recapture studies offer a powerful tool to assess abundance, survival and population rate of change (λ). A previous capture-recapture study, based on DNA profiles, estimated that the IUCN-listed Endangered Oceania population of humpback whales had a superpopulation size of 4329 whales (95% confidence limits, CL: 3345, 5315) and λ =...

Captive rearing programs (hatcheries) are often used in conservation and management efforts
for at-risk salmonid fish populations. However, hatcheries typically rear juveniles in environments
that contrast starkly with natural conditions, which may lead to phenotypic and/or genetic changes that adversely affect the performance of juveniles upon their release to the...

The goal of this project was to develop and test non-herbicidal techniques that remove nonnative
plant or weed seeds from the top 2 inches of the soil. The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is
currently restoring prairies in the Willamette Valley. Some areas of the Pacific Northwest have
already seen loss of...
