Core samples from five sites in the Yaquina and Coos Estuary
were assayed for vertical distribution of total sulfides, percent
volatile solids, redox potential, particle size, total aerobic and
sulfate reducing bacteria. Higher total sulfide levels were found at
sites having more than four percent volatile solids, redox potential
below...
In situ light and dark planktonic and benthal respirometers were
used to measure the oxygen requirements of Yaquina estuary water
and benthal deposits. Respirometer devices were constructed so that
actual conditions of mixing could be simulated and benthal deposit
disturbance would be minimized.
A mathematical model of a benthal respirometer...
The feasibility of utilizing LANDSAT MSS data in assessing surface cover types and areal extent of clearcut and shelterwood cut harvest sites in southern Oregon was investigated. The research utilized extensive 'ground truth' information to evaluate the LANDSAT data. A three faceted ground truth collection scheme analyzed 1) U.S. Forest...
Physical, chemical and bacterial water quality parameters of
the upper Wallowa River were sampled periodically between July 2,
1978 and June 9, 1979 at nine stream and lake sampling sites. Water
upstream from Wallowa Lake was typified by low nutrient concentrations
( generally below detectable limits except for nitrates), low....
Recently, the big sagebrush taxa has been split into subspecies
and forms. Four habitat types related to subspecies of big sagebrush
were studied in Eastern Oregon. Response of understory vegetation was
measured following three range improvement techniques implemented on
the four habitat types for several ages of treatment. Crown cover,...
Dicamptodon is the single, extant genus of the
ambystomatid subfamily Dicamptodontinae. Two species, D.
ensatus (Eschscholtz) and D. copei Nussbaum are recognized.
D. ensatus is found in the forested, mountain regions of
northwestern California and western Oregon, in the Willapa
Hills and Cascade Mountains of Washington, in extreme
southwestern British...
