Debris flows and flood disturbance in small, mountain watersheds

Creator:: Snyder, Kai U.
Abstract:: This study examined debris flows occurring in a 125 km² study area in the Blue River watershed in the western Cascade Mountains of Oregon over a 50-year period. Debris flow occurrence was found to be concentrated in a distinct zone of high activity occupying approximately half of the study area,...

Terrestrial amphibian distribution, habitat associations and downed wood temperature profiles in managed headwater forests with riparian buffers in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Kluber, Matthew R.
Abstract:: Western forests have become increasingly fragmented landscapes dominated by young stands. Given that western Oregon forests largely consist of headwater systems, there is a need to better understand how headwater forest taxa and their habitats are impacted by forest management practices. Several amphibian species associated with forested headwater systems have...

Establishment and growth of natural and planted conifers ten years after overstory thinning and vegetation control in 50-year-old Douglas-fir stands

Creator:: Nabel, Mark R.
Abstract:: Forest managers of public lands in western Oregon and Washington have become increasingly interested in creating additional conifer cohorts in young, even-aged, second-growth Douglas-fir stands. The purpose of our research was to assess the establishment, survival, and growth of naturally-regenerated and underplanted conifers 10-13 years after overstory thinning and understory...

Thinning response in Alnus rubra and Arbutus menziesii : effects of spacing, light, and moisture

Creator:: Kim, Sang-kyun
Abstract:: In western Oregon, hardwood trees occupy 20% of the timberland but account for less than 1% of the timber harvest. Information about how to manage them effectively is limited. The objective of this study was to examine: 1) effect of thinning on tree growth, plant moisture stress, and crown cover...

Spatial pattern and dynamics of hardwood patches in the Coast Range of Oregon, 1939-1993

Creator:: Hess, Rebecca Susan
Abstract:: Analysis of the long-term spatial pattern and dynamics of hardwood patches in the Coast Range of Oregon provides numerous ecological insights. Natural and anthropogenic disturbances have contributed to the development of a patchy mosaic of vegetation types in the area. Some hardwood patches in the Coast Range may be the...

Plant and amphibian assemblages in zero-order basins in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Sheridan, Chris D.
Abstract:: We have a poor understanding of the biotic communities in zero-order basins, drainages extending from ridgelines to the initiation of first-order streams. This study describes baseline plant and amphibian composition in unmanaged zero-order basins in the Oregon Coast Range. Specifically, I studied: i) the spatial distribution and diversity of species,...

A characterization of unmanaged riparian overstories in the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Nierenberg, Tara R.
Abstract:: Riparian areas that can be used as reference sites on which to base goals of vegetation restoration have not been documented in the Oregon Coast Range. I examined the composition and distribution of unmanaged riparian overstories in the central Oregon Coast Range along nine streams which have experienced minimal disturbance...

Terrestrial amphibian abundance and species richness in headwater riparian buffer strips, Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Vesely, David G. (David Gordon), 1954-
Abstract:: I examined the abundance and habitat associations of terrestrial amphibian species and the species richness of terrestrial amphibian communities in riparian buffer strips, clearcuts, and unmanaged riparian forests. The study was conducted in the western hemlock (Tsuga heteropliylla) vegetation zone of the northern and central Oregon Coast Range. Data were...

Habitat associations of small mammals and amphibians in the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Martin, Karl J.
Abstract:: One of the goals of ecosystem management is to integrate management of many species and processes across a range of temporal and spatial scales. I investigated the relationship between small mammals and amphibians at 3 spatial scales. My objective was to identify, habitat associations of forest floor vertebrates at the...

The structure and dynamics of red alder communities in the central coast range of western Oregon

Creator:: Carlton, Gary C.
Abstract:: Red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) is a fast-growing pioneer species that colonizes disturbed forest sites west of the Cascade Mountains in the Pacific Northwest. Streambottoms, toe slopes, and mass movement of surface soils have historically provided the scarification and soil moisture necessary for successful regeneration of red alder. During the...
