Historical Change and the Hydrogeomorphic Context of Present-day Floodplain Forests in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Bervid, Heather D.
Abstract:: Floodplain forests play many important roles in the fluvial processes and environments of large alluvial rivers, including acting as geomorphological influences and habitat for native fish during high flows. Many large, gravel-bed river systems have undergone substantial change in recent centuries, resulting in loss of forested area to agriculture, reduction...

Transdisciplinary Research in Water Sustainability: What’s in it for an Engaged Researcher-Stakeholder Community?

Creator:: Chan, Samuel, Ferguson, Laura, Santelmann, Mary V., and Tilt, Bryan
Abstract:: This study uses semi-structured interviews and an online survey to explore the structure, challenges and outcomes of a five-year National Science Foundation-funded water scarcity modelling project in the Willamette River Basin of Oregon, USA. The research team chose to facilitate broader impacts by engaging stakeholders from the study’s inception (e.g....

A Geodatabase and Digital Characterization of Wetlands Mapped in the Willamette Valley With Particular Reference to Prediction of Their Hydrogeomorphic (HGM) Class

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R.
Abstract:: This project defined criteria to allow only the use of existing spatial databases (and only those with comprehensive coverage of the ecoregion) to identify the HGM (hydrogeomorphic) class of mapped Willamette Ecoregion wetlands. The project then applied those criteria automatically and systematically to every mapped wetland in the ecoregion, resulting...

Survey of the Ecological Condition and Functions of Enhanced, Restored, and Reference Wetlands in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R.
Abstract:: In a series of Willamette Valley wetlands, standardized protocols were used in 2009 and 2010 to primarily assess (a) vegetation species composition and (b) relative levels of ecosystem services. Of the 60 wetlands visited in one or both years, 34 were classified as riverine and 26 as flats. Of the...

Eyes on the Seafloor : Using Video Tools to Monitor Benthic Communities at Dredged Material Disposal Sites at the Mouth of the Columbia River

Creator:: Fields, Stephanie A.
Abstract:: The mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) is an intersection of more than a river and ocean, but also multiple economically valuable activities including dredging to maintain a deep draft shipping channel and an active Dungeness crab (Metacarcinus magister) fishery. More than three million cubic meters of sediment are annually...

Restoring the Columbia River Estuary : Chinook Salmon Recovery and Invasive Species Management

Creator:: Klopfenstein, Rachael
Abstract:: As highlighted in this study, shallow-water habitats and the prey they provide are important for juvenile salmon in the Columbia River estuary, but the spread of invasive species and large-scale changes to the estuary influence how these habitats are utilized. Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) (“PHAR” hereafter) is a highly invasive...

Connecting Tidal-fluvial Life Histories to Survival of McKenzie River Spring Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Rose, Gordon W.
Abstract:: Chinook salmon returns to the Columbia River basin have declined due to impacts of a growing human population, despite significant mitigation expenditures. Consequently, fisheries managers have become focused on recovery and long-term viability of at-risk populations. A viable population depends, in part, on the connectivity and quality of diverse habitat...
