The effects of ownership pattern on forest road networks in western Oregon

Creator:: Freid, Matthew A.
Abstract:: The pattern of ownership imposed on the-forest landscape of Western Oregon defines the boundaries in which differences in jurisdiction, regulation, and land use operate. Road building is controlled by these factors, and in turn has an effect on the cumulative effects of human utilization of the forest. This study examined...

The historic and contemporary ecology of western Cascade meadows : archeology, vegetation, and macromoth ecology

Creator:: Highland, Steven A.
Abstract:: Montane meadows in the western Cascades of Oregon occupy approximately 5% of the landscape, but contribute greatly to the region's biodiversity. Western Cascades meadows are dynamic parts of the landscape and have contracted by over 50% in the past two hundred years in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (hereafter Andrews...

Mapping vegetation using landsat TM and ETM+ in Eritrea

Creator:: Iyob, Biniam
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to examine vegetation and vegetation change in Eritrea over a period from the mid 1980s to 2002 using satellite remote sensing, and relate observed changes to the recent history of drought and war in the region. Specific objectives were (1) to examine vegetation change...

A review and assessment of network concepts and their applications in geography and related disciplines

Creator:: Versluis, Anna J.
Abstract:: Networks are a structure common to many disciplines. Research on networks has taken different forms in domains such as graph theory, sociology, vascular networks, small-world networks, geomorphology, ecology, evolution and engineering. Networks may be modeled as non-spatial networks (unvalued graphs), which contain only topological information, or as spatial networks (valued...

A study of varying logging practices on stream temperature in the Blue River drainage, Western Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Nicolello, Jon
Abstract:: Three (3) streams with desired similar characteristics, located in the Blue River Watershed in the Central Oregon Cascades, were studied to better understand the impacts of forest harvest on stream temperature and aquatic habitat. Of the 3 designated streams, North Fork Quartz Creek, Blue River Face, and Wolf Mann, only...

Patterns of chronic wind mortality in a small, old-growth Pseudotsuga menziesii forest in the western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Littlefield, Sam, 1980-
Abstract:: Windthrow has been studied extensively as a cause of mortality and as a landscape disturbance agent in temperate forests throughout the United States. The effects of windthrow mortality on stand species composition and structure, forest regeneration and seral development have been well described at the site (e.g. single gap) and...

Stream temperature response to partial canopy removal in first and second order streams in the central Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Sullivan, Lawrence
Abstract:: Stream temperature response of first and second order streams to the Blue River Landscape Study (BRLS), an alternative land management strategy based on historic fire regimes, was analyzed in the central Oregon Cascades. The BRLS treatment prescription of a 50% canopy reduction and low intensity burn was applied with a...

Forestry herbicide use on private forest lands in Lincoln and Benton County Oregon, 1991-1994

Creator:: Godino, John Alessandro
Abstract:: The use of phenoxy herbicides is an established practice in industrial forestry, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. Forestry herbicide use in this region has often been controversial. To better understand the spatial patterns of herbicide use and the potential for human health and environmental impacts, a landscape level perspective is...

Forest-meadow dynamics in the central western Oregon Cascades : topographic, biotic,and environmental change effects

Creator:: Rice, Janine M.
Abstract:: Montane meadows comprise a small area of the predominantly forested landscape of the Oregon Cascade Range. Tree encroachment in the last century in these areas has threatened a loss of biodiversity and habitat. Climate change in the coming century may accelerate tree encroachment into meadows, and exacerbate biodiversity loss. Multiple...

The effects of stand thinning on soil erosion rates at Jim's Creek in the Willamette National Forest, Oregon

Creator:: McFadden, Andrew K.
Abstract:: Surface sediment transport is an important geomorphic process which can be significantly altered by management activities in forested ecosystems. Disturbance of the soil surface may result in increased sediment delivery to fish bearing streams and degradation of soil structure. Selective thinning and low impact yarding techniques were utilized in an...
