Relations among hydrology, soils, and vegetation in riparian meadows : influence on organic matter distribution and storage

Creator:: Dwire, Kathleen A.
Abstract:: Organic matter dynamics in riparian ecosystems are largely driven by interactions among hydrology, soil, and vegetation. In two riparian meadows, northeast Oregon, I examined the hypothesis that vegetation and soil characteristics in three plant communities - defined as wet, moist, and dry meadow - were strongly influenced by hydrological and...

Ecology of aquatic habitats associated with stream margins

Creator:: Moore, Kelly M. S.
Abstract:: The morphology and ecological importance of habitats associated with the margin of third-order stream channels in the Oregon Cascades were studied in streams in three different riparian types: 450-year-old conifers, 40-year-old alder, and an open, herbaceous-dominated clearcut. Margins, backwaters, and side channels in streams create important habitat for fry of...

Riparian vegetation and abundance of woody debris in streams of southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Ursitti, Victoria L.
Abstract:: Riparian vegetation (trees > 10 cm dbh), woody debris (> 10 cm diam, > 1 m long), channel, and landform characteristics were inventoried in mature (80-150 yrs) and old-growth riparian areas (>250 yrs) selected from small tributaries of the Coos and Coquille River basins in southwestern Oregon. Basal area of...

Ecology of woody riparian vegetation in tributaries of the Upper Grande Ronde River basin, Oregon

Creator:: Lytjen, Danna J.
Abstract:: Two studies on Catherine Creek and Meadow Creek of the Upper Grande Ronde River basin, quantified several physical and biotic influences on woody riparian community composition and structure. The Catherine Creek study examined the association of woody riparian species with elevational and geomorphic gradients. The Meadow Creek study examined the...

Influences of riparian canopy on aquatic communities in high desert streams of eastern Oregon

Creator:: Tait, Cynthia K.
Abstract:: Because riparian canopy controls most energy inputs to stream ecosystems, it directly affects the structure of aquatic food webs and the ecological processes that govern interactions among trophic levels. This study addresses the interdependence among riparian canopy, benthic community structure, and the carrying capacity of high desert streams for salmonid...

Streamside forests, channel constraint, large woody debris characteristics, and pool morphology in low order streams, Blue Mountains, Oregon

A simulation model of wood dynamics in Pacific Northwest streams

Creator:: Meleason, Mark Alan
Abstract:: Conceptually, the dynamics of wood in streams can be viewed in terms of input and in-channel processes. Input processes are associated with both the riparian (tree fall, bank cutting, windthrow) and upslope forests (mass failures). In-channel processes include log breakage, movement, and decomposition. A mechanistic view of these processes is...

The Influence of Riparian Habitat and Microhabitat Selection on Fish Assemblaqe Structure in the Upper John Day Basin, Oreqon

Creator:: Leitzinger, Eric J.
Abstract:: Fish assemblage structure was determined along a longitudinal gradient for three drainages in the upper John Day basin: Middle Fork, South Fork, and upper Mainstem proper. One or two tributaries in each drainage were included. Where possible, sites were paired: those with good versus those with poor riparian habitat. Detrended...

Seasonal influences on food availability and diet of coastal cutthroat trout in relation to riparian vegetation

Creator:: Romero, Nicolas
Abstract:: Current riparian management objectives in the Pacific Northwest promote both retention of existing conifers and conversion of hardwood-dominated areas to conifers. Although understanding of relationships between riparian vegetation and salmonid prey availability is growing, temporal variation in these relationships is poorly understood. Seasonal fluxes in availability of aquatic and terrestrial...
