Solioccasus polychromus gen. & sp. nov., the most brightly colored hypogeous fungus known, is described from Papua New Guinea and tropical northern Australia south into subtropical forests along the Queensland coast and coastal mountains to near Brisbane. Phylogenetic analysis of molecular data places it as a sister genus to Bothia...
Dense hyphal mats formed by ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi are prominent features in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forest soils and have been estimated to cover up to 40% of the forest floor in some stands. Although previous studies have examined various aspects of EcM fungi, little is known about their associated microbial...
Total length and biomass of fungal mycelium in the soil of a young Douglas-fir stand in the central Oregon Coast Range were estimated over 27 months with the agar-film technique. In a second study, phenology and taxonomy of hypogeous (belowground) sporocarps were studied over 32 months in a nearby, young...
The influence of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) on
populations of general taxonomic and functional groups of naturally-occurring
rhizosphere bacteria and actinomycetes associated with
roots of sweet corn (Zea mays var. rugosa) and subterranean clover
(Trifolium subterraneum L.) was assayed using selective media.
Sporangial production by Phytophthora cinnamomi was also used as...
The colonization of several species of plants by vesicularar-buscular
mycorrhizae (VAM) was studied to determine how host, soil,
or symbiont factors interacted to enhance growth of the host plant.
Seedlings of two species of the Cuppressaceae and two of the
Taxodiaceae formed VAM; colonization significantly improved growth.

This is a listing of both PhD and Master's· theses relating to the areas of forestry issued during the period from July 1976 to June 1981. The
list is arranged first by state, then by college or university within each state. Authors of theses are arranged alphabetically under each of...
