Perceptions of pack and saddle stock in wilderness: a historical and geographical review of a resource conflict

Creator:: Capozza, Togan
Abstract:: It has long been acknowledged that recreation activities can cause conflict among stakeholders with different perspectives. In 1949, Aldo Leopold, one of the earliest proponents of wilderness preservation, noted "Public policies for outdoor recreation are controversial. Equally conscientious citizens hold opposite views on what is and what should be done...

Impacts of the Salem Parkway upon biotic resources and water quality

Creator:: Hobbs, Drusilla
Abstract:: The proposed construction of a four lane road, the Salem Parkway, was evaluated regarding the potential environmental impacts its location would have upon biotic resources and water quality. Due to existing commitment of the study area to urbanization and agriculture, only limited environmental sensitivity was observed overall. It was found...

Sources and perceptions of controversy in establishing a protected area for biodiversity : a case study in the New River Area of Oregon

Creator:: Erickson, Dana C.
Abstract:: The process of land acquisition for the conservation of plants or wildlife habitat can raise controversial issues, issues often perceived differently by the individuals and groups involved. After the land acquisition process is completed, there is rarely an opportunity to analyze the differing perceptions of the issues and their relative...

Nonindustrial private forestland: management issues and policy responses

Creator:: Mannix, Rosemary
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper is to review and assess the management issues and policies associated with NIPF. The characteristics and landowner objectives of nonindustrial private forests in western Oregon will be reviewed. The conventional view of the NIPF "problem" will be examined and an alternative view will be discussed....

An assessment of potential impacts from the proposed State Street (Salem, Oregon) widening project on biotic resources

Creator:: Bucy, David Edward Morelock
Abstract:: The proposed widening of State Street between Lancaster Avenue and 25th Street in Salem, Oregon was evaluated regarding potential construction impacts on the biotic resources (vegetation, fish, wildlife, and wetlands) in the immediate area. The existing setting was surveyed to establish a base level from which to measure changes, arid...

The feasibility of implementing a campfire closure in a heavily used portion of Eagle Cap Wilderness

Creator:: Orr, Taylor
Abstract:: Gathering and burning firewood in heavily used subalpine areas contributes to campsite deterioration. Forest Service policy directs wilderness managers to implement the principle of nondegradation. As a result, campfires may be prohibited in areas where fire-related impacts are significant. The Lakes Basin and Ice Lake Travel Zones in the Eagle...

Contaminated communities : actively involved citizens, technical assistance, and the cleanup process

Creator:: Gaines, Lisa J.
Abstract:: In what is called participatory democracy scholars and practitioners have been calling for the involvement of citizens in decisions that affect their lives. Citizens who emerge to participate in technically complex, decision-making processes find that their involvement is often minimized, disregarded, or neglected due to barriers such as specialized scientific...

Grass seeding as a brush suppressant in Douglas-fir clearcuts - a preliminary study

Creator:: DeCourcey, Denis Lawrence
Abstract:: Increased demand for wood fiber has necessarily increased the intensity of forest management in recent years. In the Pacific Northwest the release of deciduous vegetation following clearcutting of Douglas-fir is a major problem. Herbicides which have been used in the past to control this brush competition may no longer be...

Geographic location and ecoregional effects on determinants of avian species richness

Creator:: Siegel, Karen E.
Abstract:: Biodiversity studies allow for a more holistic approach to the conservation of species. Using one measure ofbiodiversity, that ofspecies richness, this study investigates the correlations between bird species richness and a set ofvariables. These variables represent climate, productivity/available energy, habitat heterogeneity, disturbance, and topography. Another aspect ofthis study is to...

Assessing the potential impacts of alternative landscape designs on amphibian population dynamics

Creator:: Rustigian, Heather L.
Abstract:: present a unique modeling approach to investigate the potential impacts of future land use alternatives on amphibian population dynamics in two agricultural watersheds in central Iowa. An individual-based spatially explicit population was used to predict the consequences of alternative landscape design and management for populations of four amphibian species. The...
