	year = {2022},
	note = {Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are fungi that form symbiotic relationships with plants. These fungi give host plants many benefits, including increased salt tolerance, increased drought tolerance, and resistance to pathogens. For these reasons, they are potentially powerful tools in marsh restoration projects. In this interesting Master{\textquoteright}s thesis, the author sought {\textquotedblleft}to assess the presence and colonization of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in Distichlis spicata from three formerly diked areas of the Salmon River Estuary to determine an initial understanding of the mycorrhizal community in tidal wetlands post-restoration{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract).

	volume = {M.S.},
	year = {2020},
	note = {In order to restore salt marshes, it is necessary to know more about their environments.  One aspect of salt marsh vegetation is their fungal symbiotes. This Master{\textquoteright}s thesis reports on a study of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and their relationships to three common marsh plants:  Baltic rush, tufted hairgrass, and the invasive reed canary grass. Plants were removed from a high marsh in the Salmon River Estuary, along with soil core samples. Plants were grown in a greenhouse, inoculated with fungi from the marsh, and placed in several competition scenarios. {\textquotedblleft}This experiment indicates that fungal inoculation may offer stress amelioration through photosynthetic pathway II to Juncus balticus and may have the opposite effect of non-native Phalaris arundinacea{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract). The author goes on to suggest that in cases like this, when the fungi give more benefits to native species than to introduced species, commercial inoculants may be useful.  This is a beginning for learning which fungi-marsh plant combinations are valuable for salt marsh restoration.  PSU Dissertations and Theses Paper 5579. },

	note = {Red alder fixes nitrogen, and in the fall and winter it sheds nitrogen into coastal streams.  The result is that many coastal streams have at certain times of the year nitrogen levels that are unacceptably high, according to conventional environmental standards.  Current nutrient models for Oregon coast streams fail to adequately account for this natural process.  {\textquotedblleft}Our results provide evidence, at a regional scale, that background sources and processes cause many Coast Range streams to exceed proposed nutrient criteria, and that the prevalence of a single tree species (N-fixing red alder) exerts a dominant control over stream N concentrations across this region.{\textquotedblright}  (from the Abstract)},

	year = {2014},
	note = {Millions of dollars have been spent in enhancing habitats to aid recovering populations of salmon on the Oregon Coast.  How well have enhancement projects done?  Does there seem to be a relationship between restoration projects and salmon recovery? The author addresses these questions. {\textquotedblright}My analysis showed that from 1994 to 2012 only 3 of the 21 independent populations from the ESU, the Alsea, Salmon, and Tillamook had statistically significant recovery. To evaluate the relationship between habitat restoration and coho recovery, I ran a correlation between the rate of recovery and the amount spent on restoration for each ESU population. The rate of recovery increased as total dollars spent on restoration increased, but it was a very weak relationship{\textellipsis}{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)  The author concludes by suggesting ways to improve restoration efforts.  },
