To examine the influence of forest management on wildlife immunity, the innate immune system of wild deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) inhabiting forest plots of different management intensities in the Oregon coast range was measured by bactericidal assay. Bactericidal activity was compared across three management levels, including 40-50 year old forest...

Provides information about complexity of watersheds. Outlines ways to form partnerships, to develop strategies for enhancing watershed resources, and to implement enhancement projects.
A publication containing advice on a wide range of gardening topics, including composting, container gardens, fall/winter gardens, fertilizing, insect pests, plant diseases, planting guidelines, raised beds, site selection, slugs, soil improvement, tilling, warm-season crops, watering, and weeds. Includes regional tips for various parts of Oregon.
This project hypothesizes that the use of multiple ground-based remote sensing methods can collectively characterize the geophysical signatures of four marked human burials at the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians historic period cemetery. If the geophysical signatures of the marked burials can be characterized, these signatures may be used to...

Soil acidity is a major factor inhibiting pasture production in western Oregon. The typical management solution to acidic soil problems is to lime. However, lime cannot be incorporated directly into the soil in established pasture. The only alternative is topdress or surface apply lime and wait for soil fauna to...

Seedling recruitment is a critical driver of population dynamics and community assembly, yet we know little about functional traits that define different recruitment strategies. For the first time, we examined whether trait relatedness across germination and seedling stages allows the identification of general recruitment strategies which share core functional attributes...

1. Seeding native plants is a key management practice to counter land degradation across
the globe, yet the majority of seeding efforts fail, limiting our ability to accelerate ecosystem
recovery.
2. Recruitment requires transitions through several seed and seedling stages, some of which
may have overriding influences on restoration outcomes....

Devonian carbonate rocks of the southern Hot Creek Range reflect a shift to the east of the carbonate shelf edge and a progressively deeper-water lithotope from late
Early Devonian to early Middle Devonian time. Lower Devonian mudstones of the McColley Canyon Formation were deposited on an open shelf, dolomitized, and...

The Lateral Lake Area is located 30 km northeast of Dryden in
Echo and Webb Townships in the District of Kenora in northwestern
Ontario. The area has been the focus of molybdenum exploration
since 1906. Most exploration and development has been centered
on the Pidgeon Prospect in Echo Township. Although,...
