Humidity Graph of Saddleback Biotic Succession

This document reflects the succession of growth in the Saddleback research station. The old forest, it shows, was eventually replaced by stages of regrowth after logging, but never fully recovered

Notes for Problems of Ecology Presentation to the Linfield Research Institute

These notes were prepared by Dr. Jane Claire Dirks-Edmunds for a presentation she gave to a Linfield Research Institute (LRI) seminar at Linfield College on March 19, 1957 on the subject of ecology. LRI was established in 1955, and Dr. Dirks-Edmunds did research under its auspices, including receiving a federal grant which funded work on biotic succession

These pages from a log book serve as the key to the specimens collected by Dr. Jane Claire Dirks-Edmunds at the Saddleback Research Station in Oregon

Biotic Succession in a Douglas Fir Forest on Saddleback Mountain (Oregon Coast Range)

This grant proposal, submitted to the National Science Foundation in 1959 by Dr. Jane Claire Dirks-Edmunds, requested funding to continue an ecological study at Saddleback Mountain. Dirks-Edmunds requested $15,570.05 to fund weekly trips with students to the site in order to collect meteorological and synecological data on the forest; she anticipated the project would last two years. Dr. Dirks-Edmunds graduated from Linfield College in 1937; she returned to teach in the Biology department at Linfield from 1941-1974

Unangam Tunuu

Syllabus - Practicum on Unangam Tunuu, CoLang 2016This workshop prepares the student for the 3-week practicum focusing on fieldwork on a sleeping or less accessible language using archival materials; the language we focus on (for both the workshop and practicum) is Unangam Tunuu (Eastern Aleut, ISO 6390ale). The workshop class will cover the language and cultural history, linguistic structure, the history of language documentation and description in Unangam Tunuu, and the main resources and foci of previous linguistic research. Students will be required to do the readings and to familiarize themselves with leading articles or reference books in the field, in particular with the Aleut Dictionary and Aleut Grammar by Knut Bergsland. Time permitting, we will do some group activities using these reference sources

Ecology - As I See It

Dr. Jane Claire Dirks-Edmunds summarizes her research experiences on Saddleback Mountain in Oregon. Several handwritten corrections are included. Dirks-Edmunds began studying the area in 1933 with her advisor at Linfield College, Dr. James A. Macnab. In 1940, the research site was logged and her study switched from detailing an existing Douglas fir community to tracking its regrowth. Dr. Dirks-Edmunds graduated from Linfield College in 1937; she returned to teach in the Biology department at Linfield from 1941-1974

Plant Index Card for \u3cem\u3eRubus parviflorus\u3c/em\u3e,Western Thimbleberry

This is one example of a research card used by Dr. Jane Claire Dirks-Edmunds. Dirks-Edmunds used these cards to catalog the plants, animals, and insects at her Saddleback Mountain research site during the 1950s. This card has notes on Rubus parviflorus (thimbleberry) a part of the Rosaceae (rose) family
