A bibliography for Quercus garryana and other geographically associated and botanically related oaks. Gen. Tech. Rep. PNW-GTR-554. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 115 p. Interest in Quercus garryana Dougl. ex Hook., commonly known as Oregon white oak or Garry oak, has increased in recent years as scientists, resource managers, and the general public focus attention on a forest type in decline. To aid those interested in learning what has previously been reported on this species, we have compiled a comprehensive bibliography for Q. garryana. This bibliography includes articles published in scientific or technical journals, accepted theses and dissertations, published or widely distributed documents from federal and state organizations, published conference proceedings (as well as chapters from those proceedings), and books (including chapters or articles in edited books). The citations pertain primarily to Q. garryana. Some references pertaining to geographically associated oaks, Q. alba L. (an eastern species closely related to Q. garryana), and general information about the genus Quercus also are included. There are 488 citations that refer to Q. garryana, 191 that pertain to geographically associated oaks, 131 that pertain to Q. alba, and 27 general oak citations. A section entitled “Topics and Keywords” is included to facilitate searching the paper copy of the bibliography for topics of interest. This section lists the citations that pertain to each topic. Keywords are provided for each citation. This bibliography also is available as a portable document format (PDF) file and as an online searchable database. Keywords: Bibliography, Quercus garryana, Quercus alba, California oaks.

Quercus garryana has a lower maxi- mum height than its conifer associates, and in the absence of fire, conifers become established in oak stands and eventually shade the oaks out. The species was histori- cally maintained by both natural fires and prescribed fires set by Native Americans. Early European settlement resulted in displacement of Native Americans (and their historical burning activities), suppression of natural fires, and conversion of many oak woodlands and associated prairies into agricultural, and later, urban uses. In addition, some land- owners have chosen to convert oak woodlands to coniferous forests to maximize wood production. Recent interest in the species has been triggered, in part, by concerns over wildlife species associated with oak trees or stands (such as the western gray squirrel (Sciurus griseus), which is listed as a threatened species in the state of Washington); general issues of regional biodiversity; and increased recognition that without manage- ment intervention, oak cover within the region will continue to decline. We began studying Q. garryana in the late 1990s and, as a part of that project, devel- oped a database of references on the species. In our interactions with natural resource managers and researchers working with Q. garryana, we learned that others would benefit from our bibliography. Some might question the value in publishing a bibliography that would quickly become out of date when many people have access to electronic databases that can access scientific literature. We have found that many electronic databases, however, do not include older references, university theses or dissertations, or limited-distribution reports prepared by or for public agencies. Student theses do not appear in the large reference databases such as Forestry Abstracts or Agriculture On-Line; they can be located with online searches at many universities, but most university libraries and electronic databases only contain theses associated with their Figure 1—Dates of Quercus garryana publications. Note: All date ranges except the first and last represent a 10-year interval. 1 own degree programs. Most electronic searches are limited to the words in the title, keywords, or abstract of the reference. There are many other documents that contain useful information on a species but do not mention the species in the electronic search phrases, and thus, will not appear in the search results. We also discovered that exist- ing lists of references, including the published bibliography for California oaks (Griffin et al. 1987), the citations in the updated Silvics of North America (Burns and Honkala 1990), and reference lists developed by several natural resource professionals have little overlap in their citations. Thus, we decided to compile a fairly comprehensive bibli- ography for Q. garryana (and associated species—see discussion below) and make it available in both hardcopy and two types of electronic formats. This bibliography will facilitate literature searching by natural resource managers and researchers. What Is Included Our bibliography includes articles published in scientific or technical journals, accepted theses and dissertations, published or widely distributed documents from federal and state organizations, published conference proceedings (and chapters in those proceed- ings), and books (including chapters or articles from edited books). The most common citation is for journal articles; however, papers presented at conferences, workshops, or symposia, and technical reports also are well represented (fig. 2). The citations primarily pertain to Q. garryana. We have included some references pertaining to geographically associated oaks (oaks whose geographical range overlaps that of Q. garryana in south- ern Oregon and northern California); white oak (Q. alba); and general information on the genus Quercus. Citations pertaining to other western oaks are included because of the potential similarity in soils, climatic conditions, associated vegetation, damaging agents, and dispersal mechanisms. Some basic references on Q. alba are included because Figure 2—Types of Quercus garryana publications incorporated in this bibliography include chapters or articles in edited books, journal articles, conference proceedings and papers presented at conferences, books (including agriculture handbooks), technical reports, dissertations and theses, and pamphlets. 2 Q. alba and Q. garryana are closely related botanically (Daubenmire 1978). Therefore, information on Q. alba biology and response to management may be pertinent. We do not include Q. alba references that primarily relate to forest inventory, tree distribution, marketing, forest products, pollution or other damaging agents, or plant community descriptions. There are 488 citations that refer to Q. garryana, 191 citations pertaining to California and southern Oregon oaks, 131 citations pertaining to Q. alba, and 27 general Quercus citations. Many of the citations pertaining to California and southern Oregon oaks, as well as a few citations pertaining to Q. alba, also refer to Q. garryana. Our formal literature search ended December 31, 2000. Several publications beyond that date were brought to our attention and have been included. Approximately 8 percent of the references listed in this bibliography are available online, including standard references such as Silvics of North America (Burns and Honkala 1990), and

  • A PLACE to CHERISH and STUDY BACK Mary Mcdonald
    THE MAGAZINE OF THE OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION WINTER OREGON 2016 STATER A PLACE TO CHERISH AND STUDY BACK LOOKING LOOKING Mary McDonald >> and the forest on the hill By Ann Kinkley | Photos by Hannah O’Leary Clipboard in hand, binoculars around her neck, OSU master’s candi- date Amy Barry ’09 moves beneath a canopy of older Douglas fir in the McDonald-Dunn Research Forest, the crown jewel of the College of Forestry’s living laboratories. She’s checking snags — old, dead trees — for small birds such as chickadees, studying how different species make use of the ragged, decaying trunks and branches as the forest matures. Generations of students and researchers have studied, and will continue to study, in the 11,250 acres just beyond the northern city limits of Corvallis, exploring everything from new logging techniques to how various recreation activities change as a forest changes. Told that the woman whose generosity allowed the college to buy the first major pieces of the “Mac-Dunn” had no strong connections to the college but, simply out of gratitude and generosity, wanted to make sure its students had a good place to do their research, Barry is amazed. “That’s absolutely incredible,” she says. “It’s crucial for the work we do to have a forest like this that’s not maintained primarily for tim- ber harvest, but for research. And to have it so close — I can leave my office in Peavy Hall and be here in 15 minutes!” 20 << OREGON STATER hy did Mary McDonald, a wealthy widow in California, give money to Oregon Agricultural College to Wpurchase 6,000 acres of forestland, plus a valuable rare book collection and the resources to create a room for them, as well as endowments for scholarships in several departments?

    Historical Mortality of Valley Oak (Quercus lobata, Nee) in the Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Barbara County, 1938-19891 Rodney W. Brown Frank W. Davis2 Abstract: The range and abundance of valley oak (Quercus thus represents, at least for the present, a thinning process lobata, Née) have steadily decreased in the last 100 years due to ultimately resulting in a treeless grassland. low rates of regeneration during this period. Documented low Scheidlinger and Zedler (1980) used aerial coverage from rates of sapling recruitment must be compared to adult mortality 1928 and 1970 to measure change in canopy cover of coast live rates in order to evaluate the severity of this decline. The purpose oak stands in southern San Diego County. We have analyzed of this research is to measure and analyze the mortality rate of historical aerial photography to measure the mortality rates of established valley oaks in different habitat types over the past 51 valley oaks in different habitat types over the past 51 years and years. Valley oak stands of the Santa Ynez Valley in Santa to investigate how mortality varies among sites, habitats, and Barbara County were mapped and stratified into three major time periods. habitat types: valley floor alluvium, lower hillslopes and swales, and rolling uplands. Mortality rates of canopy individuals in each habitat type were determined for a sample of 600 valley oaks censused in 1938 aerial photography and re-censused in 1954,1967,1978, and 1989.125 of 600 (20.8 percent) sampled METHODS individuals disappeared during the 51 year period.

Andricus insana (WESTWOOD, 1837) syn.n. ist ein neues Synonym von Andricus quercustozae (Bosc, 1792). Introduction Gustav Mayr, a famous Austrian entomologist, described eleven genera of gall inducing Cynipidae and twenty species from twelve genera (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea). Seven of them have already been synonymized, while thirteen species are still valid. However, he never designated types for his newly described species. All the specimens are syn- or cotypes and usually these specimens were marked with "Type" or even not so.

  • Oaks (Quercus Spp.): a Brief History
    Publication WSFNR-20-25A April 2020 Oaks (Quercus spp.): A Brief History Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care / University Hill Fellow University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources Quercus (oak) is the largest tree genus in temperate and sub-tropical areas of the Northern Hemisphere with an extensive distribution. (Denk et.al. 2010) Oaks are the most dominant trees of North America both in species number and biomass. (Hipp et.al. 2018) The three North America oak groups (white, red / black, and golden-cup) represent roughly 60% (~255) of the ~435 species within the Quercus genus worldwide. (Hipp et.al. 2018; McVay et.al. 2017a) Oak group development over time helped determine current species, and can suggest relationships which foster hybridization. The red / black and white oaks developed during a warm phase in global climate at high latitudes in what today is the boreal forest zone. From this northern location, both oak groups spread together southward across the continent splitting into a large eastern United States pathway, and much smaller western and far western paths. Both species groups spread into the eastern United States, then southward, and continued into Mexico and Central America as far as Columbia. (Hipp et.al. 2018) Today, Mexico is considered the world center of oak diversity. (Hipp et.al. 2018) Figure 1 shows genus, sub-genus and sections of Quercus (oak). History of Oak Species Groups Oaks developed under much different climates and environments than today. By examining how oaks developed and diversified into small, closely related groups, the native set of Georgia oak species can be better appreciated and understood in how they are related, share gene sets, or hybridize.
