Butler, Eric Paul. "The Invasion Ecology of Ivy (Hedera spp.) in Portland's Forest Park." PDXScholar, 2019. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/5265.

Abstract:

Invasive ivy (Hedera spp.) has extensive impacts on Pacific Northwest urban forests, many of which are not yet fully understood. In this study of Forest Park, Portland, Oregon, I evaluated several environmental variables obtained or derived from monitoring datasets at three spatial scales to determine the following: how ivy is spatially distributed; what factors are most correlated with ivy abundance; and how ivy abundance influences shrub community composition. I found that ivy is significantly clustered at all scales with multiple apparent epicenters along the park's urban periphery. Using N

Abstract:

Includes bibliography.<br>I have taken my notion of 'Post-Environmentalism' from John Young's book of the same name which seemed to me to provide an eclectic and essentially deconstructive approach to the debate surrounding 'the environmentalist crisis'. As the term suggests, the debate is one subject to essentialist thinking which constitutes it as simple and singular. In particular I am interested in the ways in which that logic is one of specularity, forwarded by a scientific privileging of ocular epistemology. I therefore use the strategy of 'Post-Environmentalism' in so far as it provides

Abstract:

The field of microbial ecology has just entered a new era of rapid technological development and generation of big data. The high-throughput sequencing techniques presently available provide an opportunity to extensively inventorize the blueprints of life. Now, millions of microbes of natural microbial communities can be studied simultaneously without prior cultivation. New species and new functions (genes) can be discovered just by mining sequencing data. However, there is still a tremendous number of microorganisms not yet examined, nor are the ecosystem functions these carry out. The modern

Abstract:

Geography<br>Ph.D.<br>This study examines the environmental identity processes of Philadelphians involved in volunteer local everyday urban environmental stewardship through tree plantings and prunings, urban gardening, and neighborhood cleanups. A hybrid theoretical framework for environmental identities that simultaneously incorporates structural, discursive, and material concerns through the ground of everyday life was adapted from the political ecology of the body developed by Hayes-Conroy and Hayes-Conroy (2013). Three qualitative methodological techniques were performed: in depth intervi

Full text

Abstract:

<p> The practice of restoration has been called the acid test for ecological theories, as theoretical outcomes may or may not occur in real life scenarios. Regardless, the need for increased communication between theory and practice is necessary to mutually benefit both disciplines. My dissertation research used several major ecological theories to formulate questions regarding environmental constraints on the establishment and expansion of several species of freshwater tidal macrophytes (Schoenoplectus acutus, Schoenoplectus californicus, and to a lesser extent, Typha latifolia). I investigat

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the connections between Arne Naess's Deep Ecology and Martin Heidegger's Phenomenology. The latter provides a philosophical basis for the former. Martin Heidegger's critique of traditional metaphysics and his call for an "event" ontology that is deeper than the traditional substance ontology opens a philosophical space in which a different conception of what it is to be emerges. Heidegger's view of humans also provides a basis for the wider and deeper conception of self Arne Naess seeks: one that gets rid of the presupposition that human beings are isolated subjects embedd

Abstract:

<p> Modernist poet William Carlos Williams died in 1962—a landmark year in the history of the modern environmentalist movement. He did not live to see contemporary culture come to the deeper appreciation of humanity's place in the world which we now know as ecology. This dissertation will argue, however, that supporting his entire oeuvre of poetry are philosophical and poetic underpinnings which resonate strongly with—and usefully anticipate—our modern understanding of the <i>interpenetrative</i> relationship between natural and culture, human and nonhuman. </p><p> I begin

Abstract:

Environmental issues are often complex with many different constituents operating according to a broad range of communication techniques. In order to foster negotiations, different perspectives need to be articulated in lucid ways sensitive to various viewpoints and circumstances. In my thesis I investigate how certain approaches to environmental discourse effect dialogue and negotiation. My first two chapters focus on environmental problems surrounding rangeland ecology along the U.S./Mexico border; whereas the last two chapters explore more theoretical conflicts concerning the philosophy of

Abstract:

At present, species are faced with a host of human-induced impacts that have already led to a loss of biodiversity and shifts in species’ ranges. Knowledge of the ecological and evolutionary processes of dynamic species’ ranges, that are either shifting or expanding, will be key to understanding the ability of species to persist and adapt during periods of environmental change. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effects of range expansion on the genetics and evolution of species, and understand the processes that facilitate the spatial spread of populations.
