Fire history, fire regimes, and development of forest structure in the central western Oregon Cascades

Creator:

Weisberg, Peter J.

Abstract:

Fire history and fire regimes were reconstructed for a 450 km² area in the central western Oregon Cascades, using tree-ring analysis of fire scars and tree origin years at 137 sampled clearcuts. I described temporal patterns of fire frequency, severity, and size, and interpreted topographic influences on fire frequency and...

Investigations of runoff production and sedimentation on forest roads

Creator:

Wemple, Beverley C.

Abstract:

Forest roads constructed in steep mountain landscapes have been associated with a number of effects on hydrologic and geomorphic processes. This research examined the effects of forest roads on the flow of water and sediment in drainage basins in the Cascade range of western Oregon. A study conducted at the...

Dissertation
Fire severity and vegetation response to fire in riparian areas of the Biscuit and B&B Complex Fires, Oregon

Creator:

Halofsky, Jessica E.

Abstract:

Fire is the dominant disturbance process in western U.S. forests, and although effects of fire in upland forests are relatively well-studied, there is little information about fire effects on riparian forests, critical areas of the landscape for both habitat and water quality. This dissertation examines different aspects of fire effects...
