The use of ơ15N and ơ¹³C to analyze food webs and identify source-sink relationships in riparian canopy vegetation of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

Scott, Emily E.

Abstract:

In the Coast Range of western Oregon, some natural resource managers are converting red alder-dominated riparian areas to conifers to increase the future source of in-stream large wood for salmonid habitat. However, studies in Alaska have shown red alder-dominated riparian areas support greater invertebrate biomass compared to conifer-dominated areas. In...

Fire severity and vegetation response to fire in riparian areas of the Biscuit and B&B Complex Fires, Oregon

Creator:

Halofsky, Jessica E.

Abstract:

Fire is the dominant disturbance process in western U.S. forests, and although effects of fire in upland forests are relatively well-studied, there is little information about fire effects on riparian forests, critical areas of the landscape for both habitat and water quality. This dissertation examines different aspects of fire effects...

Disturbance and dynamics of riparian forests in southwestern Oregon

Creator:

Messier, Michael S.

Abstract:

Fire exclusion has been associated with structural and compositional changes in many upland forests of the western United States, but little is known about the impacts on riparian forests, portions of the landscape protected for habitat and water quality. For this study, I characterized the historic disturbance and tree recruitment...
