This paper describes the application of aerial photography and GIS technology to develop flexible and transferable methods for multi-spatial scale characterization and analysis of riparian corridors. Relationships between structural attributes of riparian corridors and indicators of stream ecological conditions are not well established. As part of a research project focused...
Red alder (Alnus rubra), a nitrogen(N)-fixing deciduous broadleaf tree, can strongly influence N
concentrations in western Oregon and Washington. We compiled a database of stream N and GIS-derived landscape
characteristics in order to examine geographic variation in N across the Oregon Coast Range. Basal area
of alder, expressed as a...

We describe continental-scale increases in lake and stream total phosphorus (TP) concentrations, identified through periodic probability surveys of thousands of water bodies in the conterminous U.S. The increases, observed over the period 2000–2014 were most notable in sites in relatively undisturbed catchments and where TP was initially low (e.g., less...

Dual-axis accelerometer global positioning system collars can be used to remotely record the activity level and behavior of free-ranging animals, but inter- and intraspecific variations in motion among behaviors necessitate calibration for each species of interest. To date, little work has been done to determine the best duration for sampling...

The application of DNA-based markers toward the task of discriminating among alternate
salmon runs has evolved in accordance with ongoing genomic developments and
increasingly has enabled resolution of which genetic markers associate with important
life-history differences. Accurate and efficient identification of the most likely origin for
salmon encountered during ocean...
Little research has been directed toward determining the status and ecological role of riparian areas in agricultural landscapes of the Willamette Valley, Oregon. A research project has been designed to contribute to the development and evaluation of alternative future scenarios and to improve the basic understanding of the role of...
