Application of nonequilibrium ecology to managed riparian ecosystems

Creator:: Stringham, Tamzen K.
Abstract:: Seasonal trends in water table level and soil moisture for four plant community types within an irrigated eastern Oregon riparian zone were described. Aboveground biomass, species composition, litter, percent bareground and percent basal cover of key plant species and life forms were measured. The relationship between water table levels and...

A model to predict the bacterial quality of a rangeland stream

Creator:: Biskie, Howard A
Abstract:: Grazing cattle usually have access to streams as a source of drinking water. A model was developed for the personal computer to predict the bacterial quality of these streams. The model estimates the number of organisms that enter the stream by the direct deposit of feces and by runoff from...

Determination of the value to planners of incorporating ecotourist needs data in the interpretive planning process

Creator:: Masberg, Barbara Ann
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to answer the following question: What was the perceived value to planners of incorporating information from ecotourists about their perceived needs in the standard system presently being used to plan interpretation? The Ecotourist Needs Assessment (ETNA) process was proposed as an external needs assessment....
