Areal distribution, change, and restoration potential of wetlands within the lower Columbia River riparian zone, 1948-1991

Creator:: Allen, Tracy Hunter
Abstract:: The lower Columbia River (LCR) riparian zone is rich in habitat diversity. However, the natural beauty and species diversity along the river have increasingly become affected by human activity. This study quantifies the areal extent and degree of wetlands change and associated causes along the LCR over the past 44...

Optimization, conservation and valuation of contingent claims in economic resource management under uncertainty

Creator:: Jia, Siwei
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of three papers studying optimization, conservation and valuation of contingent claims in economic resource nianagement under uncertainty. In the first paper the Markovian optinial policies are studied for resource management in a finite time horizon. Under sonic conditions, in particular, when the prices are stochastic and there...

Three studies on the role of uncertainty in the valuation and management of renewable natural resources

Creator:: Burnes, Ellen Irene
Abstract:: These three papers address uncertainty in the management and valuation of renewable natural resources. The first paper develops a model to integrate both stock and price uncertainty to obtain optimal resource levels. The model is an extension of Reed (1974) and shows by proof and by example that when prices...

Biological control of purple loosestrife Lythrum salicaria (Lythraceae) : stability of control and integration with wetland management practices

Creator:: Schat, Marjolein
Abstract:: Purple loosestrife is a wetland perennial that came to the eastern seaboard of North America in ship ballast and raw wool in the 1800's. Since coming to the United States, it has spread across the country, forming dense monospecific stands in wetlands. Mechanical and chemical control was expensive and ineffective,...
