This research addressed the opportunity to obtain baseline data for both stream chemistry and soil resources for an intensively managed forest watershed, encompassed by the North and South Forks of Hinkle Creek Watershed ...
Forest roads alter hillslope hydrologic processes by intercepting, concentrating, and rerouting storm runoff. Current road drainage guidelines are based on minimizing erosion and do not take into account the impact of fo ...
One of the basic questions facing transportation planners and road managers is how to provide and maintain a road system that provides efficient access to the forest while limiting adverse effects roads can have on water ...
The role of riparian forests in maintaining temperatures of headwater streams is well established and is a foundation of forest practice rules designed to protect streamwater quality. However, detailed investigation is s ...
The gasoline tax, the main source of highway revenue is no longer a viable source of
funding to maintain the existing highways. Many states in the United States are
already using revenues from other sources such as sal ...
Evaluations were performed on three stream temperature prediction models: Heat
Source 5.6, SSTEMP 3.9, and Brown's equation. Each model was evaluated using data
collected from three Coastal Oregon and two western Casca ...
Stream temperature, as an important component of stream
ecosystems, can be affected by forest harvesting through removal of
riparian shade and changes in hydrology. Riparian Management Areas
(RMAs), as implemented thr ...
Stream temperature research relies on reference frames in which to project data. An important decision in the project design is which frame of reference to use. This aspect of research planning is not always given the co ...
Understanding the impact of low volume road networks on forested watersheds is important for future forest management and watershed restoration. This study characterized the hydrology of five segments of forest road in t ...
Caribbean women authors, in an attempt to reclaim their voices lost to patriarchy and colonialism, are creating a new literary tradition by expanding the boundaries of the Bildungsroman genre. Many have challenged the co ...
A study was conducted to investigate the influence of root reinforcements on soil
strength and the initiation of static liquefaction in forest soils. The design and operation
was developed of an apparatus capable of mo ...
Patterns of nest attendance behavior by breeding birds represent a parent-offspring
trade-off in which adults balance self-maintenance with parental care decisions.
Incubation, in particular, is of interest because adu ...
Protracted drought in the southwest U.S. has had significant impacts on the
region’s keystone ecosystem, the pinyon-juniper (PJ) woodlands. Drought conditions
in 9 of the last 10 years, exacerbated by extreme drought i ...
Optimization of preparative nonlinear chromatography was carried out for
the first time for a biomolecule mixture. Conventional wisdom on optimization,
which roots from analytical chromatography, dictates optimizing re ...
Precipitation data from 1988-1995 for 13 rain gauges of the Department of Forest
Engineering rain gauge network, and a longer precipitation record, 1976-1995, at Mapleton were analyzed. The objectives were to assess the ...
Growing emphasis on ecosystem and landscape-level forest management across North America has spurred an examination of alternative management strategies which focus on emulating dynamic natural disturbance processes, par ...
Understanding how forest roads interact with hillslope hydrology by
intercepting and/or rerouting storm runoff will better enable land managers to
reduce erosion related to forest roads. Watershed scale knowledge of ho ...
The goal of this study was to advance methods for assessment of forest road hydrologic
response and sediment yield at a catchment scale. This research looked at the effect of
soil depth estimation on the Distributive H ...
