Thinning of young Douglas-fir forests has the potential to enhance structural diversity and improve habitat for wildlife. I examined the effects of thinning and thinning intensity on abundance and demographic characteristics of forest-floor small mammals in the Coast Range of Oregon 5 and 6 years after thinning had occurred. Thinning...
Public Law 94-142, passed in 1975, mandated that all children receive a free and
appropriate education regardless of the extent of their handicapping condition. Handicapped
students were to be educated in the "least restrictive environment" possible. Placing handicapped
students in regular classrooms has been termed "mainstreaming." Mainstreaming has produced
concerns...
Extensive research has been devoted to evaluating potential
genotype-environment interactions. However, plant breeders are still in
need of a simple way to describe how genotypes respond to different
locations and years. In an environmentally diverse state like Oregon,
significant genotype-environment interactions do occur The resulting lack
of association between actual...

Increasingly, objectives for forests with moderate- or mixed-severity fire regimes are to restore successionally diverse landscapes that are resistant and resilient to current and future stressors. Maintaining native species and characteristic processes requires this successional diversity, but methods to achieve it are poorly explained in the literature. In the Inland...
The bi-directional relationships within the personal and contextual environments of adolescents are critical to the development of adolescents and their transition into adulthood. Opportunities for youth to participate in and provide leadership in meaningful programs, gain life skills, and interact with adults in sustained relationships are key features leading to...
1. Multidimensional trait frameworks are increasingly used to understand plant strategies for growth and survival. However, it is unclear if frameworks developed at a global level can be applied in local communities and how well these frameworks—based largely on plant morphological traits—align with plant physiology and response to stress.
