This publication has been prepared
in reply to frequent requests
by home gardeners for information
on construction of small glass and
plastic greenhouses. The subject is
developed briefly with the hope
that those interested may see the
possible variations in construction
and materials. Prefabricated greenhouses
are readily available and actually...
The Governor’s Advisory Group on Global Warming developed this Oregon Strategy for Greenhouse Gas Reduction.1 Governor Ted Kulongoski appointed the Advisory Group early in 2004 to perform this task. This Strategy, if implemented, will complement the agenda of the West Coast Governors’ Global Warming Initiative undertaken by the governors of...
The OSU global coupled atmosphere/ocean general circulation
model (A/O GCM) has been used to simulate the present (lxCO₂)
climate and to investigate a CO₂-induced (2xCO₂) climate change.
Previous analysis of the lxCO₂ simulation showed distinct errors in
the simulated sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice which were
attributed primarily...
The closed insulated pallet system (CIPS) was evaluated for growth, yield, and
fruit quality of tomato genotypes with determinate growth habit. Plants were irrigated
with several levels of sodium chloride (NaCl) salinized water. Tomato growth and yield
were significantly greater in CIPS than in conventional surface-irrigated containers,
regardless of irrigation...
The three studies that comprise this dissertation seek to answer significant
questions in paleoclimatology through unconventional applications of ice core
greenhouse gas data. These studies involve different gases and span the interval of time
between the Last Glacial Maximum and the Industrial Revolution, but are united by their
nontraditional use...

“Cloche” (pronounced klōsh) is French for a bell jar or dish that is set over delicate plants to protect them from cold weather. The definition has expanded to include many types of portable and permanent structures that shelter plants from wind and cold, serving as mini-green houses. They have become...
