Creator:: Puntenney-Desmond, Kira C.
Abstract:: Shallow subsurface flow and surface runoff are spatially and temporally variable in forested environments. The location and timing of this runoff depends on both site characteristics (e.g., vegetation, soil texture, geology, and topography) and on time-varying conditions (e.g., soil water content, precipitation type, duration, magnitude, and intensity). Forest management activities...

Creator:: Cole, Ryan
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of wildfire on soil hydraulic properties of forested hillslopes. The study site was located within the Stouts Creek wildfire, which burned approximately 10,705 ha of forest in southwestern Oregon in summer 2015. Three soil hydraulic properties (soil moisture, unsaturated hydraulic...

Creator:: Steadman, Casey L.
Abstract:: Our understanding of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) variability in forested stream systems with minimal disturbance is confounded by the complex interactions of hydrologic and biogeochemical controls. In this thesis, our studies evaluate the variability of stream water N and P in a forested, headwater system in the Oregon Coast...

Creator:: Rachels, Aaron A.
Abstract:: Timber harvesting practices can increase fine sediment inputs to streams due to increased hillslope soil erosion and mass wasting of roads, hillslopes, and stream channels. Excessive fine sediment depositions have been shown to impact aquatic ecosystems, fish habitat, and downstream community water supply. Despite these deleterious impacts, the influence of...
