Vulnerability and adaptation of Pacific Northwest shellfisheries to ocean acidification

Creator:: Katz, Brian G.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of shellfish stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest who are adapting to ocean acidification (OA). This study developed a geovisualization tool of existing environmental data for assessing species-specific risk profiles to OA (based on their exposure and sensitivity),...

Trait-based approaches to linking vegetation and food webs in early-seral forests of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Campbell, John L. and Donato, Daniel C.
Abstract:: Both the structure and composition of naturally generated early-seral forests in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) can be profoundly different than that of more developed forest seres, especially in the period after a major disturbance but before conifers re-develop a closed canopy. While it is reasonable to suggest that the unique...

Competition release and climate change effects on a moisture-demanding tree species in a dry system

Creator:: Seager, S. Trent
Abstract:: Climate change and the increase in meteorological drought have generated global concern over the persistence of ecosystems already in decline from decreased moisture. Evidence suggests dryland ecosystems have been more impacted by drought because of their tightly coupled growth-water relationships and high sensitivity to environmental shift. Removal of competing vegetation...

The influence of canopy structure and epiphytes on the hydrology of Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Pypker, Thomas G.
Abstract:: Canopy structure has a significant impact on the canopy hydrology of Douglas-fir forests in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Whole canopy rainfall interception was measured for young Douglas-fir forest and compared to an old-growth Douglas-fir forest. The old-growth forest had significantly greater canopy water storage capacity (5) and direct throughfall fraction...

Creator:: Meints, Brigid, Cuesta-Marcos, Alfonso, Ross, Andrew S., Fisk, Scott, Kongraksawech, Teepakorn, Marshall, Juliet M., Murphy, Kevin, and Hayes, Patrick M.
Abstract:: Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has been cultivated for human consumption for thousands of years. However, most North Americans do not consume barley on a regular basis. In the last decade, there has been a renewed interest in barley production for human consumption. A number of quality traits estimate nutritional value...

An analysis of hedging soft white wheat using the Chicago wheat futures market

Creator:: Levy, Robert Louis
Abstract:: In 1970, the Pacific Northwest (PNW) produced approximately 145,332,000 bushels of wheat (all types) with an average harvest value of over $220,000,000. White wheat comprised about 126,234,000 bushels of that total, about 87 percent. In recent years the financial circumstances, for several reasons, have deteriorated for many farmers and grain...

Ecosystem Functions of Pacific Northwest Estuaries: The Role of Ocean and Watershed Drivers in Eelgrass and Coho Salmon Dynamics

Creator:: Magel, Caitlin L.
Abstract:: Interest is expanding for the potential role of estuaries, particularly seagrass and salt marsh habitats, to sequester carbon, mitigate ocean acidification, and support abundant fisheries. The important functions of estuaries are part of a broader set of ecosystem services, or benefits to humans, which are regulated by ocean and watershed...

Carbon balance on federal forest lands of Western Oregon and Washington: The impact of the Northwest Forest Plan

Creator:: Krankina, Olga N., Harmon, Mark E., Schnekenburger, Frank, and Sierra, Carlos A.
Abstract:: The management of federal forest lands in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) region changed in early 1990s when the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) was adopted with the primary goal to protect old-growth forest and associated species. A major decline in timber harvest followed, extending an earlier downward trend. The historic and...

Wave runup : Physics, variability, and societal impacts

Creator:: García Medina, Gabriel
