Creator:: May, Christine L.
Abstract:: Channels that were scoured to bedrock by debris flows provided unique opportunities to calculate the rate of sediment and wood accumulation, to make inferences about processes associated with input and transport of sediment, and to gain insight into the temporal succession of channel morphology following disturbance. In an intensive investigation...

Full Text:: Temporal Dyi-iamics of Sediment and Wood in Headwater Streams in the Oregon Coast Range. Abstract

Creator:: Thompson, Matthew P.
Abstract:: One of the basic questions facing transportation planners and road managers is how to provide and maintain a road system that provides efficient access to the forest while limiting adverse effects roads can have on water and soil resources. The purpose of this study is to develop decision support models...

Creator:: Toman, Elizabeth Myers
Abstract:: Forest roads produce fine sediment with traffic during wet weather. If the forest road is connected to a stream it can be a source of turbidity and fine sediment that may be detrimental to aquatic organisms especially salmonids. The goal of this work was to investigate turbid runoff during wet-weather...

Creator:: Suzuki, Nobuya
Abstract:: Thinning has the potential to increase structural diversity of managed forests for wildlife. During 1994-1996, I conducted experimental and observational studies using pitfall trapping to assess short-term and potential long-term effects of thinning on abundance and reproduction of forest-floor vertebrates in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menzeisii) forests of the Oregon Coast Range....
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Creator:: Surfleet, Christopher G.
Abstract:: The goal of this study was to advance methods for assessment of forest road hydrologic response and sediment yield at a catchment scale. This research looked at the effect of soil depth estimation on the Distributive Hydrology Soil Vegetation Model (DHSVM), assessed the uncertainty and accuracy of hydrologic modeling of...
