How We’ve Rebuilt : Collaboration, Community, Institutions, and Adaptation Following Catastrophic Wildland Fire in the United States

Creator:: Fishler, Hillary K.
Abstract:: In the study of rebuilding and recovery after natural disasters in the United States, little attention is paid to understanding how and why people rebuild following recurring, small-scale events, like wildfire. Hazard and risk literature, instead, is focused on understanding how larger communities with greater resources, economics, and social capital,...

Three essays on meta-analysis, benefit transfer, and recreation use valuation

Creator:: Vista, Arvin B.
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of three essays on meta-analysis, benefit transfer and recreation use valuation. The first two essays were based on the sportsfishing valuation literature in the US and Canada while the third essay was based on a study site in the Philippines and selected study sites from the US....

An Exploratory Analysis of Influences of Forestland Characteristics and Urban Infrastructure on Forestland Management Treatments

Creator:: Hamilton, Margaret
Abstract:: Timber supply from Washington State may be reduced by non-industrial private forest owners' diverse purposes for holding timberland, which is a concern since they control 38% of Washington forestland. This study is an exploratory analysis of the effect of land and human infrastructural characteristics on landowners’ likelihood to harvest, precommercially...

Examining the Relationships Between Wildfire and Communities to Inform Wildfire Prevention and Equitable Policy Implementation

Creator:: Reilley, Caitlyn
Abstract:: Despite the importance of fire for maintaining the health of many ecosystems, the social and economic costs of wildfires have risen sharply in recent years. Across the western United States, historical land and fire management practices combined with climate change and modern human development pressures, are contributing to increased wildfire...

Spatial heterogeneity, meta-analysis and spatial dependence : three essays on environmental valuation and spatial land management decisions

Creator:: Bu, Meidan
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of three essays that collectively address the importance of accounting for spatial heterogeneity and spatial dependence of environmental assets and natural resources in policy making. The first essay examines the value of different wetland ecosystem services using an expanded meta-dataset of valuation studies in North America. The...

Evaluation of six tools for estimating woody biomass moisture content

Creator:: Becerra Ochoa, Fernando Amador
Abstract:: Woody biomass transportation costs and market values/costs are strongly correlated with the woody biomass moisture content. Properly managing moisture content can potentially lead to economic and environmental advantages in biomass energy markets. Good management requires accurate moisture content measurements. Therefore, availability of accurate, precise, reliable, and efficient tools to assess...

From Hydrology to Biology: How Abiotic Factors Structure Invertebrate Communities in a Free-Flowing River Network

Creator:: Hockett, Justin
Abstract:: Chapter 2: Aquatic macroinvertebrate communities have been shown to exhibit strong differences between erosional (riffle and run) and depositional (pool) macrohabitats of streams. A subset of these communities are aquatic insect taxa that are an important food source for riparian consumers like birds, bats, lizards, and spiders. Understanding the role...

Determining the Influence of Nutrition and Temperature on the Growth and Development of Camassia spp.

Creator:: Davis, Matthew C.
Abstract:: As a key historic component of prairies in the Pacific Northwest, Camassia spp. should play a role in the restoration of these ecosystems. To do so effectively, further study of Camassia spp. propagation is warranted. Thus, the growth, N uptake and allocation, and seasonal thermoperiodicity of Camassia spp. was examined....

Effects of silver ions and nanoparticles on suspended cells and biofilms of Nitrosomonas europaea

Creator:: Barker, Leila Kelly
Abstract:: Silver nanoparticles are increasingly being incorporated into consumer products due to their broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. The resulting influx of silver nanoparticles into wastewater may pose a threat to bacteria involved in biological wastewater treatment. Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, which convert ammonia to nitrite in the first step of nitrification, are highly sensitive...

The role of body size in the foraging strategies and management of avian herbivores : a comparison of dusky Canada geese (Branta canadensis occidentalis) and cackling geese (B. hutchinsii minima) wintering in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

Creator:: Mini, Anne E.
Abstract:: Body size explains much of the interspecific variation in the physiology, behavior, and morphology of birds, such as metabolic rate, diet selection, intake rate, gut size, and bill size. Based on mass-specific metabolic requirements and relative energetic costs of activities, being a certain body size has both advantages and disadvantages....
