A TM-based hardwood-conifer mixture index for closed canopy forests in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Maiersperger, Thomas K.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to develop, implement, and test methods for quantifying the relative proportion of hardwood and conifer cover from Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery. The research was focused on closed canopy forests in the Oregon Coast Range, where hardwood, conifer, and mixed stand conditions are prevalent. Based...

An inventory of Oregon county land use maps with recommendations for future standardization

Creator:: Batch, Donna Jeanne
Abstract:: An inventory of existing land use maps developed by Oregon county planning departments has been made through use of questionnaires and interviews. The degree of consistency has been examined with regard to the types of base maps, scales, projections, base information, and classification schemes employed. Recommendations have been made for...

Analysis of riparian vegetation age structure and forest land ownership in the Central Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Purnell, Christopher S.
Abstract:: Vegetation along the banks of mountain streams in the western Oregon Cascades comprises an integral part of the transition zone between land and water based ecosystems, and as such, is a vitally important and unique natural resource. Forestry is a major land use in this region, and harvesting riparian vegetation...

Development of a GIS for the Marys River Watershed for fish and wildlife analysis

Creator:: Callahan, Brady
Abstract:: GIS technology has reached a point where it can be utilized by nonprofessionals in a desktop environment. This paper reviews the implementation of a pilot project for developing a localized-natural resource GIS. The resulting GIS was custom designed to answer questions posed by fish and wildlife biologists who need to...

Geographic information systems : some considerations for use in geographic research and analysis

Creator:: Herstrom, Andrew A.
Abstract:: The major considerations for acquiring and using a geographic information system (G..I.S.) for regional or national geographical research and analysis are examined in this paper. After defining what a G.I.S. is, some of the more practical and useful functions of a G.I.S. in day-to--day geographical work are outlined. Finally, the...

Deconstructing density : Assessing the per capita influence on vegetation and impervious surface area in Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Rempel, Marco Gascho
Abstract:: The density at which urban areas are developed has become a contentious issue, with advocates for compact cities in conflict with advocates for larger lots and suburban development. This research paper examines the associated impact of population density (grouped by residential zones) as measured by vegetation (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)...
