Provides information about complexity of watersheds. Outlines ways to form partnerships, to develop strategies for enhancing watershed resources, and to implement enhancement projects.
Climate and terrestrial vegetation have had mutual feedbacks for nearly five hundred million years, yet both are now departing from recent historical norms, with uncertain implications for forest ecosystems. This dissertation outlines the current and potential future climate responses of lichen and bryophyte communities in the United States as part...

Biotic resistance is the idea that native species negatively affect the invasion success
of introduced species, but whether this can occur at large spatial scales is poorly
understood. Here we re-evaluated the hypothesis that native large-bodied grouper
and other predators are controlling the abundance of exotic lionfish (Pterois volitans/miles) on...

Management of marine ecosystems increasingly demands comprehensive and quantitative assessments of ocean health,
but lacks a tool to do so. We applied the recently developed Ocean Health Index to assess ocean health in the relatively
data-rich US west coast region. The overall region scored 71 out of 100, with sub-regions...

Plagiobothrys hirtus is Oregon’s top priority for endangered plant species recovery, and the wetlands of Douglas County provide the only habitat for this plant in the world. The goal is to downlist this species from endangered to threatened, and in order to do that, existing populations must be protected, and...

This project was a continuation of work started by Mark Ingman after he was bothered by the amount of plastic sheeting used in agriculture in China. He was determined to develop an alternative to this environmentally destructive use of plastic by farmers. The plastic “mulch” is used to prevent weeds...
