Contamination of ground water by non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) has
received increasing attention. The most common approach to numerical modeling of
NAPL movement through the unsaturated zone is the use of the finite difference or finite
element methods to solve a set of partial differential equations derived from Darcy's law...
Invasive vegetation control studies traditionally aim to control existing populations as well as limit future spread of the species. However, little additional attention has been dedicated to aiding native communities to recover and reestablish. One prominent example of a studied invasive is Brachypodium sylvaticum (Huds.) P. Beauv. (false brome), a...
Purpose of the Study
This exploratory study examined whether nontraditional career role
(female) teachers in vocational agriculture differ significantly from
traditional career role (male) teachers in vocational agriculture on
perceived (a) events in career choice, (b) work satisfaction, and (c)
future career plans.
The Procedure
A survey instrument was developed,...
There is a perceived trade-off between fire risk reduction and northern spotted owl habitat protection in dry-conifer forests in southwestern Oregon. Management options for balancing this trade-off need to be sought at the landscape level. Applied landscape ecology suggests three important features to consider are (1) patch size and configuration...

The production of high value non-conventional products, such as long utility poles; or the production of low value bulky products, such as chips or grindings; provide opportunities for forest owners to increase value from their forests. The transport of these products requires the use of specialized trucks and trailers. However,...
Classification based on metathoracic wing venation does not
coincide with the existing higher classification of the family Scutelleridae.
The wings of the genera in the Scutellerinae possess a
similar general pattern of venation which is quite distinct from that
of Eurygasterinae, Odontoscelinae, Odontotarsinae, and Pachycorinae.
The Scutellerinae wings possess three...
Fifty species and subspecies and six varieties in eight genera of
the family Tabanidae are recognized from Oregon. The following genera
are represented in Oregon: Apatolestes Williston, Pilimas Brennan,
Stonemyia Brennan, Silvius Meigen, Chrysops Meigen, Atylotus Osten
Sacken, Hybomitra Enderlein and Tabanus Linnaeus. Adults and larvae
were collected from various...
The Metolius Research Natural Area (RNA), located 29 km northwest of Sisters, Oregon, was originally established in 1931 to maintain a ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. Ex Laws) and dry, mixed-conifer forest with the aim to meet objectives of preserving natural conditions, providing for research opportunities, and preserving gene pools...
