Decomposing logs in Douglas-fir - western hemlock forests in the Pacific Northwest are systems in which many organisms interact. Fungi in these systems include both mycorrhizal fungi associated with hemlock seedlings and many species of saprotrophic wood decomposer fungi. It is very likely that these two groups of fungi interact...
We investigated the root endophytic fungi of lupine using
four approaches: (1) occurrence of fungal colonization in field-collected
roots; (2) growth response of L. latifolius to inoculation
with two types of fungi; (3) structure of root colonizations of
Pinus and Lupinus by Phialocephala fortinii, a septate endophytic
fungus of lupine;...

Thirty years ago American flour millers knew our Pacific
Northwest as the wheat smut center of the world. As much
as 50 per cent of all cars shipped graded smutty. Losses were
high; millers and farmers alike demanded that something be
done. Scientists and others interested in wheat went to...
Stocks of salmon are declining in the Pacific Northwest. Based on region-wide studies that list and categorize the status of salmon stocks (Nehlsen et al., 1991; Huntington et al., 1994; and Nawa, 1995), I analyze the watersheds where stocks of salmon spawn for several anthropogenic variables, most of which are...

Large fallen trees in various stages of decay contribute much-needed diversity of ecological processes to terrestrial, aquatic, estuarine, coastal beach, and open ocean habitats in the Pacific Northwest. Intensive utilization and management can deprive these habitats of large fallen trees. The publication presents sound information for managers making resource management...
