Using a heuristic programming method for incorporating wildlife habitat constraints into spatial harvest scheduling on the Elliott State Forest

Creator:: Lennette, Marie
Abstract:: The Elliott State Forest, located in the Coast Range of Oregon, is currently revising their Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). Many of the constraints in the HCP are spatial, requiring identification of specific parcels in order to limit activity along habitat reserves, limit harvest opening size, and to coordinate activities within...

Watershed councils and woodland owners : the Oregon experience

Creator:: Rickenbach, Mark G., 1968-
Abstract:: Oregon's watershed councils are local, non-regulatory, collaborative forums charged with the recovery of endangered salmon and improving water quality under The Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds. Private forest landowners, given their prominence is owning riparian areas, are central to success of these efforts. Using a statewide survey of watershed...

Who's in place, who's out of place : examining the politics of natural resource collaboration

Creator:: Cheng, Antony S.
Abstract:: A qualitative research approach composed of three strategies was employed to systematically examine the politics of natural resource collaboration. First, using the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds as a case study, the behavioral assumptions of natural resource policy instruments enabling collaboration were uncovered and analyzed. Three key assumptions emerge:...

Modeling gray wolf habitat in Oregon using a geographic information system

Creator:: Larsen, Tad
Abstract:: Gray Wolves (Canis lupus) were once found throughout North America including Oregon. Wolves were extirpated from Oregon due to heavy hunting pressure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and have been absent for over 50 years. Successful reintroduction efforts in Idaho and the greater Yellowstone area have caused...

Agriculture and wildlife : an economic analysis of waterfowl habitat management on farms in western Oregon

Creator:: Rasker, Ray
Abstract:: This study is a policy analysis of the incentives, including fee hunting, as a means to promote wildlife habitat development on private agricultural land. The management of habitat for migratory waterfowl in Western Oregon was investigated as a case study. Three separate analysis techniques were employed, presented as independent manuscripts....

A choice experiment analysis of public preferences for conservation of biological diversity in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Garber-Yonts, Brian E.
Abstract:: Ecosystem management has become an increasingly mainstream paradigm for natural resource management. Nowhere is this more evident than on the public and private forestland of the Pacific Northwest. While ecosystem management has become a widely accepted principle of resource management, substantial questions remain about its implementation. A case in point...

Spatial analysis techniques for ensuring the compatibility of land management activities and aquatic habitat quality in eastern Oregon

Creator:: Bettinger, Pete, 1962-
Abstract:: A land management scheduling model is developed that uses a Tabu search procedure to schedule timber harvests and road management activities, while simultaneously meeting (over time and space) two aquatic goals, and also providing for an even-flow of timber harvest volume. Decision variables include land units and roads, and they...

Private forests, public policy : oak conservation on family forests in Oregon’s Willamette Valley

Creator:: Fischer, Alexandra Paige
Abstract:: In the United States, many of the thorniest natural resource conflicts occur on private lands. This is especially true in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon where the hallmark habitat type, Oregon white oak woodland and savanna, is imperiled. Almost exclusively found on private land, Oregon white oak is threatened...

An economic assessment of western Oregon's private forests with streamside management restrictions

Creator:: Schillinger, Randall R.
Abstract:: Management restrictions are simulated on streamside acres owned by private interests in western Oregon to assess forest inventory and log market implications. A dynamic, nonlinear optimization model of western Oregon's softwood log market simulates the resource and economic impacts of set-aside and minimum harvest age restrictions on forest acreage within...

Spatial and temporal distributions of western juniper in John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Oregon

Creator:: Chen, Ya-Chian
Abstract:: Post-settlement juniper expansion in the western states has been reported for decades, including western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis Hook ssp. occidentalis) woodlands in the northwestern states. A 15 km2 study area in the Sheep Rock Unit of John Day Fossil Beds National Monument in eastern Oregon was selected to study spatial...
