Modeling vertebrate diversity in Oregon using satellite imagery

Creator:

Cablk, Mary E.

Abstract:

Vertebrate diversity was modeled for the state of Oregon using a parametric approach to regression tree analysis. This exploratory data analysis effectively modeled the non-linear relationships between vertebrate richness and phenology, terrain, and climate. Phenology was derived from time-series NOAA-AVHRR satellite imagery for the year 1992 using two methods: principal...

Forest and wildlife habitat analysis using remote sensing and geographic information systems

Creator:

Fiorella, Maria R.

Abstract:

Forest and wildlife habitat analyses were conducted at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest in the Central Cascade Mountains of Oregon using remotely sensed data and a geographic information system (GIS). Landsat Thematic Mapper(TM) data were used to determine forest successional stages, and to analyze the structure of both old and...

Masters Thesis
Response of terrestrial vertebrates to three silvicultural treatments in the Central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

Chambers, Carol Louise, 1958-

Abstract:

Growing concerns over maintaining animal and plant biodiversity have led to significant changes in forest management policies in the Pacific Northwest. Silvicultural alternatives to clear cutting are being suggested to promote development, retention, or creation of late-successional features such as large trees, multilayered canopies, snags and logs. As alternative management...
