Creator:: Heimann, David C.
Abstract:: This study investigated the long-term consequences of timber stand removal on the recruitment, physical characteristics, and spatial distribution of coarse woody debris in small (second- and third-order) streams of the Oregon Coast Range. A chronosequence of stream-stand systems, ranging from 21- to 140-years since disturbance (YSD), were sampled to determine...

Creator:: Loegering, John P., 1964-
Abstract:: To quantify the distribution and abundance of the riparian-associated vertebrate community, I surveyed streams in four basins in the Oregon Coast Range, 1992-1994. I observed mostly birds with fewer observations of mammals. Belted Kingfishers (Ceryle alcyon), American Dippers (Cinclus mexicanus), Great Blue Herons (Ardea herodias), and Mallards (Anus plalyrhynchos) comprised...

Creator:: Lee, Yu Man
Abstract:: Intermittent, headwater streams recently have been recognized as important components of forest ecosystems and have been provided increased protection by the Northwest Forest Plan. However, few studies have examined their distribution, dynamics, and ecological roles, such as habitat for wildlife. My goal was to provide additional information on the ecology...

Creator:: Watterson, Nicholas
Abstract:: This project explores mechanisms governing the invasion of fluvial systems by two contrasting exotic species in stream networks of steep, relatively remote forested landscapes of western Oregon. This research addresses hypotheses relating limitations of seed source locations, seed transport processes, and sink availability to the distributions of scotch broom (Cytisus...

Creator:: Neill, Andrew R.
Abstract:: A trait based approach was used to assess impacts of overstory density and thinning on understory vegetation components related to wildlife habitat. The relationship between overstory basal area and understory vegetation for species grouped by traits, such as production of flowers, fleshy-fruit and palatable leaves, was characterized in thinned and...
