Using local climate to explain temporal variation in rare plant populations

Creator:

Pfingsten, Ian A.

Abstract:

Increased temperatures due to anthropogenic-induced climate change may raise the threat of extinction for taxa with sessile life histories (e.g., plants) in the near future. Linking climate change models to demographic models may provide useful insights into the potential effects of environmental changes on rare plants, and therefore aid in...

Stem sapwood water transport and storage strategies in three conifers from contrasting climates

Creator:

Barnard, David M.

Abstract:

The state of Oregon has two distinct climate types bisected by the crest of the Cascade Mountain range. The western side of the Cascades experiences high levels of precipitation and mild temperatures due to the maritime influence of the Pacific Ocean, while the eastern side lies in the rain shadow...

The expression of functional traits during seedling establishment in two populations of Pinus ponderosa from contrasting climates

Creator:

Kerr, Kelly L.

Abstract:

Vegetation patterns and species distributions are strongly linked to soil moisture regimes, and populations within a species from contrasting climatic regimes could exhibit differences in the degree to which certain functional traits related to establishment are expressed. Tree seedling survival is crucial for forest regeneration, and thus may be a...
