A variety of studies were conducted by some 13 states and agencies to
attempt to validate or develop parameters for using chromic oxide to determine
intake and digestibility of the grazing ruminant animal.
Recovery trials were conducted under a variety of experimental conditions,
ranging from confinement to grazing trials under...
Numerous tests were applied to rainbow trout
of eleven months of age to determine whether
ascorbic acid is an essential element of the diet
of these fish. Although previous work had been
done on this question, conflicts in the results,
the large reliance upon abnormal symptoms such as
lordosis and...
Reduction of pocket gopher damage to conifer seedlings is important to successful reforestation in many regions of the Pacific
Northwest. The objective of this study was to determine the factors that influence the local distribution of the northern pocket gopher (Thomomys talpoides Richardson) in a forested region of south-central Oregon....
The role of each habitat fish use is of great importance to the dynamics of populations. During
their early marine residence, Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), an anadromous fish
species, mostly inhabit estuaries but also use sandy beach surf zones and the coastal ocean.
However, the role of surf zones in...
Large quantities of smaller diameter materials are available in the overstocked forests of eastern Oregon and Washington, but the costs of removing these materials and the long distances from markets sharply reduce the potential of this resource. Failure to thin these forests will sharply increase the likelihood of catastrophic wildfires....
The inter-relationships among δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O in tree ring cellulose and ring width have the potential to illuminate long-term physiological and environmental information in forest stands that have not been monitored. We examine how within-stand competition and environmental gradients affect ring widths and the stable isotopes of cellulose. We utilize...
The wine grape industry is rapidly growing in Oregon. By the year 2005, we could predict that Oregon will have over 10,000 acres in wine grape production. At a meeting last year, the Grapevine Improvement Committee acknowledged that little was known about the presence of potential pest and beneficial insects...
