This paper describes the results of a time-study conducted
near Grand Ronde, Oregon, to determine the production
rates and total harvesting costs of a cable thinning in a
young stand. The stand had a species mix of 48 percent
western hemlock (Tsuga. heterophylla- (Raf.) Sarg.), 45 percent
Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga meuziesil...
Bedrock groundwater dynamics in headwater catchments are poorly understood and
poorly characterized. Direct hydrometric measurements have been limited due to the
logistical challenges associated with drilling through hard rock in steep, remote and
often roadless terrain. Here we develop and use an inexpensive, portable bedrock
drilling system to explore bedrock...

The purpose of this research was to see if there were technological differences in ground stone manufacturing and use from a single site that had been occupied for over 600 years, A.D. 550-A.D. 1150, and had multiple occupations that evolved over time (Late Pithouse Phases, Georgetown, San Francisco, and Three...
A brown and burn site preparation project was monitored on an
alder-dominated brushfield in the western Oregon Coast Range. Prefire
vegetation was surveyed, and the fuel complex created by felling
and aerial application of herbicides was evaluated. Post-fire vegetation
was examined during the four months following the August, 1974,
fire....
