Drivers of Productivity Differences between Native and Exotic Range Douglas-fir Plantations in Oregon and New Zealand

Creator:: Gilson, Liam W.
Abstract:: In this thesis, we first examine the principle hypotheses behind the improved exotic growth of select timber species, and the evidence for each, with special focus on studies which examine growth between several ranges of a species. We find that literature suggests environmental factors directly tied to net primary production...

Influence of Limited Water Access on Douglas-fir Seedling Root Systems, Physiology, and Growth

Creator:: Sheridan, Rebecca A.
Abstract:: Nursery-grown seedlings are critical for attaining reforestation and restoration success in many ecosystems, including mixed-conifer forests in the Northwest, which is the native range for Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Seedling establishment after planting depends on coordinated responses in seedling growth, physiology, and hydraulic function. The chapters in this dissertation review growth...

Environmental Stressors Influence Fabaceae Seedling Development

Creator:: Gerber, Kaitlin A.
Abstract:: Sites in need of restoration typically have one or more environmental factors that limit seedling establishment; identifying ecophysiological responses to environmental stressors can be advantageous in growing seedlings able to overcome such constraints on survival. To maximize survival after outplanting, seedlings should be grown in a manner that considers both...

Modeling Tree Size Distribution in Young Douglas-fir Plantations to Facilitate Tree List Generation for Growth Model Initiation at Different Ages and under Differing Silvicultural Regimes

Creator:: Uranga, Martin
Abstract:: Two key challenges emerge when initiating individual-tree growth models for bare ground or very young plantations. Both involve the need for a list of individual trees with known or predicted size and known expansion factor (number of trees per unit of area represented by each tree). In the case of...

Further Development of MPM and its Applications in Modeling Wood-Adhesive Bonds

Creator:: Hammerquist, Chad C.
Abstract:: This work is a culmination of a series of published works related to the use of the Material Point Method (MPM) in modeling wood adhesive bonds. The use of wood as construction material has the potential to play a small role in the solution to the current CO2 and climate...

Cross-Laminated Timber Shear Walls with Toe-Screwed and Slip-Friction Connections

Creator:: Fitzgerald, Dillon M.
Abstract:: Timber engineering is currently in the midst of a significant evolution due to the rise of mass timber products, like cross-laminated timber (CLT). Increasing numbers of structural engineers are facing the challenge of designing lateral-force-resisting systems (LFRS) for multistory CLT structures. LFRS solutions such as steel frames, concrete cores, or...

Exploring Alternative Approaches for Native Plant Production and Ecological Restoration in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Placido, Wilman M.
Abstract:: Global recognition of the need for ecosystem restoration and revegetation following natural and anthropogenic disturbances has been growing in recent years. Successful programs often depend on the use of nursery-grown seedlings and appropriate mitigation of limiting factors on outplanting sites. Nursery production of high-quality native plants for restoration can be...

The Benefits of Time: Characterizing Intra-and Inter-Annual Variability in Oregon Wetland Ecosystems Using the Landsat Spectral-Temporal Domain

Creator:: Fickas, Kate C.
Abstract:: The use of Landsat data has historically been constrained to spectral and spatial information derived from a carefully selected image or set of images. However, free and open access to Landsat imagery combined with advances in data storage and computing are revolutionizing how the Landsat temporal domain is used to...

Assessing the Link Between Large Wood Restoration and Groundwater Recharge and Storage: An Investigation of Indian Creek in Washington State

Creator:: Boylan, Nora C.
Abstract:: With decreasing snowpacks and changing precipitation patterns, Washington State seeks ways to conserve, protect, and enhance its water supply. Stream restoration has been viewed as a means to utilize alluvial aquifers for groundwater storage and augment late-season streamflow. However, the relationship between stream restoration and groundwater dynamics is still under...

The Role of Submesoscale Features in Transporting Heat and Salt Across Ocean Fronts

Creator:: Sanchez-Rios, Alejandra
Abstract:: The focus of this dissertation is the analysis of submesoscale and finescale features measured at oceanic fronts and the role they play in the transport of heat and salt. Two different geographical areas were used to analyze this transport: one, an area on the western side of the North Atlantic...
