Effects of fire on seedling establishment in upland prairies in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Maret, Mary P.
Abstract:: Prior to European settlement, native prairie dominated the landscape of the Willamette Valley. Today, due to urbanization, agriculture, and the cessation of burning, only isolated remnants of these grasslands still exist. In response to conservation concerns, there has been a move to restore the remaining prairies in the Willamette Valley,...

Distribution and abundance of coastal fish and macro-invertebrates in the Galapagos Islands

Creator:: Figueroa, Diego
Abstract:: The Galapagos Islands, located off the coast of Ecuador, have a spatially diverse marine environment suitable for a variety of species with different climatic requirements. A year-long inventory program was carried out in 2000-2001 to provide baseline data on the abundances and distribution of coastal fish and macro-invertebrates. The purposes...

Trophic dynamics of marine nekton and zooplankton in the Northern California Current ecosystem

Creator:: Miller, Todd William
Abstract:: The Northern California Current (NCC) ecosystem exhibits extreme seasonal, interannual and interdecadal shifts in the abiotic environment and shifts in primary and higher production. This variability is also apparent in the spatial structure of the ecosystem with nearshore-shelf waters (<150 m isobath) being highly productive and having a different community...

Phosphorus control of nitrogen fixation

Creator:: Watkins-Brandt, Katie S.
Abstract:: Under conditions of fixed N-limitation, as with most oligotrophic systems, the process of biological N₂ fixation (diazotrophy) is favored, provided the necessary trace elements and vitamins are sufficient. Despite the well understood contributions of N₂ fixation in oligotrophic regions, the nutritional and ecological controls of marine diazotrophs have not been...

The biology of a shallow-water methane vent

Creator:: Juhl, Andrew R.
Abstract:: In September of 1989, the site of an active seafloor methane vent was confirmed approximately 20 km off the coast of Oregon in shelf waters 135 m deep. The location of the vent had been described to Oregon State University oceanographers by a local commercial fisherman. Preliminary observations in 1989...

Production and partitioning of organic matter during simulated phytoplankton blooms

Creator:: Wetz, Michael S.
Abstract:: Few studies have examined the partitioning of organic matter in upwelling systems, despite the fact that these systems play a key role in carbon and nitrogen budgets in the ocean. We examined the production and partitioning of phytoplankton-derived organic matter in deck incubations off Oregon during the upwelling season. During...

Proteomic analyses of marine bacteria

Creator:: Sowell, Sarah M.
Abstract:: Proteins are the metabolic machines of the cell and as such, the study of proteins could illuminate the dominant biological activities that are occurring within cells and reveal how an organism interacts with its environment. Here, we used proteomic techniques to study the abundant marine bacterium SAR11 both as an...

Design, assessment, and future implications of the Multiple Enzyme Analyzer (MEA), a tool for in-situ monitoring of marine microbial activity

Creator:: Jaeger, Stephanie A.
Abstract:: The microbial loop plays a crucial role in remineralization of organic matter and fuels recycled production in the aquatic environment. The capability of microbes to utilize particular compounds can be examined through their ectoenzyme (found outside the cell) activities using fluorogenic substrate analogs. These catalysts hydrolyze polymers otherwise too large...
