A model was developed that allows potential users to identify
the agricultural suitability of parcels of land in western Oregon.
Literature was reviewed regarding five possible benefits to be
derived from public policies designed to preserve productive agricultural
land. They are (1) the provision of sufficient cropland
to supply the...
There are over 35 known virus and virus-like diseases of sweet cherry (Prunus avium), some with potential to cause severe economic impact by reducing vegetative growth, vigor, and/or quality of fruit. Oregon is the second-ranked state for sweet cherry production in the United States with 13,000 acres and $70.8 million...
Sedimentary pore fluids from the Chile Triple Junction were sampled in situ, and analyzed for their noble gas composition. ³He/⁴He and ⁴He/Ne ratios were used to evaluate the fraction of helium in the samples that originated from mantle and radiogenic sources. The results show no primordial helium in samples recovered...
This publication discusses the environmental requirements of needle diseases, their potential impact on tree vigor, when disease levels signal a problem, and what you can do to minimize damage.
Riparian areas in the Pacific Northwest have traditionally been a source of natural resources, such as timber and grazing, and have been used as transportation corridors and homestead sites. A primary impact of use has been the removal of riparian trees, the crowns and roots of which provide shade and...
Distributions of temperature, salinity, and barium in near-surface waters (depth ≤ 50 m) of the Laptev Sea and adjacent areas of the Arctic Ocean are presented for the summers of 1993, 1995, and 1996. The tracer data indicate that while fluvial discharge was largely confined to the shelf region of...
We explore selected aspects of J.-Y. Parlange’s contributions to hydrological transport of solutes and sediments, including both the laboratory and field scales. At the laboratory scale, he provided numerous approximations for solute transport accounting for effects of boundary conditions, linear and nonlinear reactions, and means to determine relevant parameters. Theory...
Mechanisms by which plant organs accumulate
photoassimilate are important in determining final sink size
and may involve invertase activity. Because strawberry
fruit are strong sinks for sugars, changes in invertase
levels during development and mechanisms of sugar uptake
within the fruit were examined.
Fruit from greenhouse-grown, day-neutral strawberries,
(Fragaria X...
