Conservation of Sidalcea nelsoniana through habitat management : effects of burning, mowing, and altered flooding regime on a rare Willamette Valley perennial

Creator:: Bartels, Marilynn R.
Abstract:: Active habitat management plays a key role in the preservation of native ecosystems and rare species, especially in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where natural succession to woodlands threatens the few wetland prairies remaining after 150 years of agriculture and urbanization. Sidalcea nelsoniana, listed as threatened under the federal Endangered...

Assessment of resistance and inheritance to Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus disease (BYDV) in five wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.)

Creator:: Tola, Jaime
Abstract:: Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) is a major disease of wheat. Unfortunately, unlike barley where the Yd2 gene provides adequate levels of resistance, the situation in wheat is more complex. This study was designed to provide information regarding: 1) evaluation of methods of measuring resistance among selected cultivars; 2) identification...

Soil biochemical measures as ecological indicators across agricultural and forest ecosystems of Oregon

Creator:: Knight, Timothy R.
Abstract:: A variety of soil properties have been proposed and tested as potential indicators of soil quality. This study was conducted in an effort to produce a standardized soil quality index for systems in Oregon. Soils in both forested and agricultural systems were sampled in a wide variety of locations, climates,...

Responses of forest understory plants to burial by volcanic tephra from Mount St. Helens, Washington

Creator:: Antos, Joseph A.
Abstract:: The effects of burial by tephra (volcanic aerial ejecta) on forest understory plants were examined northeast of Mount St. Helens, Washington, in the area where the 18 May 1980 eruption deposited tephra but did not destroy canopy trees. At six sites along a tephra depth gradient from 2-15 cm, understory...

Development of predictive mapping techniques for soil survey and salinity mapping

Creator:: Elnaggar, Abdelhamid A.
Abstract:: Conventional soil maps represent a valuable source of information about soil characteristics, however they are subjective, very expensive, and time-consuming to prepare. Also, they do not include explicit information about the conceptual mental model used in developing them nor information about their accuracy, in addition to the error associated with...

Comparing structure and development of Douglas-fir old-growth, plantations, and young natural forests in western Oregon

Creator:: Dowling, Christopher D.
Abstract:: Ages, diameter growth, density, tree size, and species were studied in old-growth, plantation, and young natural Douglas-fir stands in three areas in western Oregon: the western and eastern Coast Range and the western Cascades. The purpose was to compare the development of these three stand types and to determine whether...

Petrogenesis of compositionally distinct silicic volcanoes in the Three Sisters region of the Oregon Cascade Range : the effects of crustal extension on the development of continental arc silicic magmatism

Creator:: Hill, Brittain Eames
Abstract:: The Three Sisters region of the Oregon High Cascades has developed three compositionally and petrogenetically distinct silicic (i.e., SiO₂ ≥ 58%) magma systems within the last 600 k.y. These silicic systems evolved from the same High Cascade mafic magma system and developed in the same 20x30 km area of the...

Watershed response to western juniper control

Creator:: Deboodt, Timothy L.
Abstract:: Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) encroachment has been associated with increased soil loss and reduced infiltration resulting in the loss of native herbaceous plant communities and the bird and animal species that rely on them. Hydrologically, however, change in water yield has been linked with the amount of annual precipitation a...

Investigation of the hydraulic, physical, and chemical buffering capacity of Missoula Flood Deposits for water quality and supply in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

Creator:: Iverson, Justin
Abstract:: The Willamette Silt is a surficial geologic unit composed of successive Missoula Flood Deposits that underlies 3100 km2 (1200 mil) of arable land in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The Willamette Silt protects the underlying regionally important Willamette Aquifer from agricultural contamination while acting as a semi-confining unit and a...
