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...
I studied the water relations traits, twig conductivity, C'3 isotopic composition,
and wood density of three conifer and five angiosperm species in western Oregon. This
study took place from spring 2002 to fall 2003 on four sites. Species were selected to
represent the diversity of drought tolerance of woody plants...
Vegetatively propagated peppermint (Mentha piperita L., cv. Black Mitcham) was used to determine the effects of night temperatures (8°C vs 25°C) on the plant growth in terms of fresh weight and leaf area, and on metabolite contents. The plants were sampled after 14 days, 21 days and 28 days in...

Lasting, effective solutions to nitrogen (N) loss from container nurseries must
address layers of complexity ranging in scale from whole system nursery management
to gene expression. Group-based On-site Active Learning (GOAL) was developed to
aid nursery managers and related stakeholders (e.g. neighbors, policy makers,
regulating agencies, researchers) in developing a...
