Temperature microenvironments associated with early stages in plant succession on Douglas-fir clear-cuts in the Oregon coast range

Creator:: Robinson, Myles Canby

A global scale analysis of the spatiotemporal distribution of foliar biomass for 1988

Creator:: Pross, Derek D.
Abstract:: Many ecological systems follow a seasonal cycle affecting primary production,carbon flux, and vegetative gas emissions. The seasonal variation of ecological systems are both affected by and have effects upon climatic factors. A quantitative estimate of the seasonal variation of vegetation is required to characterize ecological systems and their interaction with...

Canadian vegetation response to climate and projected climatic change

Creator:: Lenihan, James M.
Abstract:: The equilibrium response of Canadian vegetation to climate and climatic change was modeled at three organizational levels of the vegetation mosaic. The climatic parameters used as model drivers (i.e., snowpack, degree-days, minimum temperature, soil moisture deficit, and actual evapotranspiration) are components of climate that physiologically constrain the distribution of dominant...

Simulated response of ecosystem processes to climate change in northern California and western Nevada

Creator:: McGlinchy, Maureen C.
Abstract:: In order to investigate potential climate impacts on landscape-scale ecosystem processes, I implemented a dynamic general vegetation model (DGVM) over a large domain in northern California and western Nevada on a rectangular grid of ca. 800-meter spatial resolution. I used 100 years of observed, monthly climate and nine future climate...

Potential impacts of climate change on vegetation distributions, carbon stocks, and fire regimes in the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Rogers, Brendan M.
Abstract:: The U.S Pacific Northwest contains a wide variety of ecosystems, all subject to relatively dry summers and wet winters. As has been shown with paleoclimatic and paleoecological data, the region is vulnerable to changes in climate. We assessed the sensitivities of vegetation distributions, carbon stocks, and fire regimes to 21st...

Introducing and validating a high-throughput bud break sensor

Creator:: Kleinknecht, George J.
Abstract:: Bud break is a key adaptive trait that can help us understand how plants respond to a changing climate from the molecular to landscape scale. Despite this, acquisition of bud break data is currently constrained by cost, scale, and a lack of information at the plant scale on the environmental...

Climate-growth relationships of western juniper and ponderosa pine at the pine-woodland ecotone in southern Oregon

Creator:: Knutson, Kevin C.
Abstract:: Pinyon-juniper woodlands throughout the western U.S. have expanded rapidly following European settlement during the late 19th century. In central and eastern Oregon, western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis var. occidentalis Hook.) encroachment has been previously documented in the sagebrush steppe and upper elevation aspen communities. While these vegetation changes and dynamics have...

Post-fire vegetation response to snow in the western United States

Creator:: Blauvelt, Katie
Abstract:: The western United States is experiencing significant changes in wildfire and snow regimes as a result of warming temperatures. An amplification of wildfire activity and reduction in snow water equivalent, snow covered area, and earlier spring snowmelt are documented trends that are projected to continue into the future. With an...

Potential effects of climate change and fire management on fire behavior and vegetation patterns on an east Cascades landscape

Creator:: Greaves, Heather E.
Abstract:: Climate exerts considerable control on wildfire regimes, and climate and wildfire are both major drivers of forest growth and succession in interior Northwest forests. Estimating potential response of these landscapes to anticipated changes in climate helps researchers and land managers understand and mitigate impacts of climate change on important ecological...

Date of planting as a factor in the growth, development, and yield of snap beans

Creator:: Zehsazian, Hassan
Abstract:: In previous years, at Corvallis, yields of bush snap beans varied among planting dates. In order to obtain additional information on the effect of planting dates on the growth, development and yield of snap beans, four field plantings and two greenhouse plantings of the variety O.S.U. 2051 were made. Results...
