Sharing the land : a 5th and 6th grade curricular unit for Minto-Brown Island Park, Salem, Oregon

Creator:: Hanson, Mette J.
Abstract:: The lack of first-hand experience or knowledge about farming in the general population of the United States is a concern among scientists as many current environmental issues are strongly linked to agriculture. Developing agricultural literacy and an appreciation for our dependance on limited resources is important for preparing future generations...

Chaparral history, dynamics, and response to disturbance in southwest Oregon : insights from age structure

Creator:: Duren, Olivia
Abstract:: Fuels management on Bureau of Land Management lands in SW Oregon, USA, is motivated by the needs to reduce fire hazard and restore ecosystems thought to be impacted by fire suppression. Chaparral is one of the most characteristic vegetation communities of SW Oregon's interior valleys, and extensive acreages within this...

An evaluation of the invasion potential of Kochia prostrata (forage kochia) in southwestern Idaho, USA

Creator:: Gray, Erin C.
Abstract:: Purposeful introductions of exotic species for rehabilitation efforts following wildfire are common on rangelands in the western U.S., though potential ecological impacts of introduced species in novel environments are often poorly understood. One such introduced species, Kochia prostrata (L.) Schrad (forage kochia) has been seeded on over 200,000 ha throughout...

Structure-property relationships of layered oxypnictides

Creator:: Muir, Sean W.
Abstract:: Investigating the structure-property relationships of solid state materials can help improve many of the materials we use each day in life. It can also lead to the discovery of materials with interesting and unforeseen properties. In this work the structure property relationships of newly discovered layered oxypnictide phases are presented...

Subalpine revegetation on backcountry campsites near Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite National Park, California : third year results

Creator:: Moritsch, Barbara J.
Abstract:: The National Park Service initiated a backcountry campsite restoration project in 1987 to restore native vegetation on severely degraded campsites in three subalpine lake basins in Yosemite National Park. Restoration treatments included soil scarification, transplanting, manual seeding and site protection. Eight of the treated campsites were monitored in 1990 to...

Understory herb and shrub responses to root trenching, pre-commercial thinning, and canopy closure in Douglas-fir forest of the western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Lindh, Briana C.
Abstract:: This thesis examines factors limiting understory herb presence and flowering in young second-growth Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests on the west side of the Cascade Mountains, Oregon, USA. I studied the belowground effects of canopy trees on understory herbs and shrubs in old-growth forests using trenched plots from which tree roots...

Stand structures of Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana) woodlands and their relationships to the environment in southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Gilligan, Laurie A.
Abstract:: Large areas of non-coniferous communities in southwestern Oregon are thinned to reduce fire hazard and accomplish ecosystem restoration, under the assumption that current fuel loads are unnaturally high. Although Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana) woodlands are a characteristic landscape component in this region, little is known about their current or...

Factors limiting the distribution of the sensitive lichen Usnea longissima in the Oregon Coast Range : habitat or dispersal?

Creator:: Keon, Dylan B.
Abstract:: The sensitive lichen Usnea longissima Ach., formerly a fairly common circumboreal species, has been extirpated from much of its range (e.g., Eastern Europe). Although the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) remains a relative stronghold for the species, U longissima faces increasing pressure in the region from habitat loss, air pollution, and...

Relationships of exotic species and wildfire to the threatened plant Silene spaldingii

Creator:: Menke, Carolyn A.
Abstract:: In the canyon grasslands of Garden Creek Ranch Preserve in Idaho, where the threatened plant Silene spaldingii occurs and invasion by the exotic species Centaurea solstitialis and Bromus tectorum is proceeding rapidly, I examined environmental and community patterns of site invasion, and evaluated the apparent influence of invasion on Silene...
