Native flood meadows are important for hay production and winter feeding areas in many western states. With the introduction of meadow foxtail (A lopecurus pratensis L.) and other new species, the botanical composition of the meadows has been steadily changing. With shifting priorities occuring on public lands, these flood meadows,...
From a landscape ecology perspective, meadows are often seen as landscapes in
transition. Succession and change in meadows may be investigated by considering the
physical and anthropogenic factors that influence the landscape through time. What is
often unknown is how changes occur and how physical and anthropogenic factors
contribute to...
This study delineates and characterizes the distribution of montane meadows in the Willamette National Forest, identifies encroachment patterns in relation to topographic features and proximity to trees in the Chucksney-Grasshopper meadow complex, and examines tree species and age distributions in relation to distance from forest edges or isolated tree clusters...
The objectives of this study were: 1) to identify and map the
experimental area of Meadow Creek watershed by existing vegetation,
and 2) to identify and map the experimental area of Meadow Creek
watershed by habitat types. The classification system adopted for
this study was based on the habitat type...
Native meadows produce a significant portion of the hay used for winter feed in eastern Oregon. Without fertilization, an average meadow will yield approximately 1 ton of hay per acre. With proper fertilization, yields often can be increased by 2 to 3 tons, and hay quality such as protein content...
The objectives of this study were to: 1) determine production
of plant species and utilization by cattle, sheep and deer as related
to plant communities and timber management practices and 2) evaluate
the interaction of range use between cattle and deer and between sheep
and deer as affected by site...

The vegetative communities in the subalpine meadows of Hunts
Cove, Mt. Jefferson, and some of the major environmental factors
affecting them were studied in the summer of 1971. Hunts Cove is in
the subalpine Tsuga mertensiana parkland of the Central Oregon High
Cascades. Habitats within the Cove vary considerably; elevation...
The forest alpine tundra ecotone (FTE, also known as alpine treeline or subalpine parkland), is a conspicuous feature of mountain landscapes throughout the world. Climate change-driven increases in temperature are believed to result in FTE movement and tree invasion of subalpine meadows, which have been documented throughout the Northern Hemisphere...
