The effects of nitrogen manipulations and hydrology on the establishment and competitive abilities of wetland prairie plant species (western Oregon)

Creator:: Davis, Kimberly J.
Abstract:: Many studies suggest that weedy plant species are most successful when soil nitrogen in abundant. Consequently, I used soil nitrogen manipulations to determine if altering nitrogen would affect the establishment of both weedy and native plant species in a western Oregon wetland prairie. In two studies, we added carbon amendments...

Factors affecting establishment and germination of upland prairie species of conservation concern in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Jones, Katherine D.
Abstract:: Identifying mechanisms that determine who lives and dies is the first step in developing successful restoration techniques for rare species and endangered habitats. We studied interactions that affect establishment of native plant forbs of conservation concern at the seedling stage to support the theoretical basis for restoration activities in Pacific...

Early spring forage production for western Oregon pastures

Creator:: Oregon State University. Extension Service, Pirelli, Gene J., Hart, J., Filley, S., Peters, A., Porath, M., Downing, T., Bohle, Mylen G., and Carr, J.
Abstract:: Forage production is of primary importance to Oregon’s livestock enterprises and agricultural economy. The forage is either grazed or conserved. Conserved forage is needed to feed livestock in times of little forage growth—a key cost of livestock production. Extending the grazing season reduces the cost and time involved in feeding...

Functional groups, traits, and the performance of species in restoration

Creator:: Roberts, Rachael E. (Rachael Elaine)
Abstract:: In ecological restoration, species that are sown to increase the native plant diversity range in establishment ability. Some species readily establish, while others rarely do. This study set out to investigate some of the potential processes influencing species establishment, as well as the traits that are associated with the success...

Post-dispersal seed fates in a Western Oregon native prairie

Creator:: Clark, Deborah L.
Abstract:: Knowledge of post-dispersal seed fates and other regeneration characteristics is crucial for predicting abundances and distributions of populations and, ultimately, community species composition and diversity. Seed fate studies, however, are rare primarily due to the difficulty of determining seed fates and causes of mortality. This thesis investigated post-dispersal seed fates...

Responses of Pacific Northwest prairies to soil nutrient manipulations : implications for restoration of Castilleja levisecta and control of invasive species

Creator:: Lawrence, Caitlin E.
Abstract:: Pacific Northwest prairies have become significantly reduced in extent, and in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, less than one percent of native upland prairies remain. Many species have been impacted by this extreme loss of habitat, including Castilleja levisecta (golden paintbrush), a threatened hemiparasitic forb species endemic to the Pacific...

Native meadows: eastern Oregon, east of Cascades [2000]

Creator:: Oregon State University. Extension Service and Gardner, Ernest Hugh
Abstract:: Native meadows produce a significant portion of the hay used for winter feed in eastern Oregon. Without fertilization, an average meadow will yield approximately 1 ton of hay per acre. With proper fertilization, yields often can be increased by 2 to 3 tons, and hay quality such as protein content...

Germination and establishment in Willamette Valley native prairie plants

Creator:: Russell, Michael C.
Abstract:: Native plants provide many ecosystem services while also having great beauty and are a valuable component of the landscape. As use of these plants in habitat restoration, agricultural insectary plantings, and home landscapes increases so does demand for information on the basic biology of a group of species that have...
