Mapping the Political Landscape of Wave Energy Development Off the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Stevenson, John
Abstract:: Since 2006 Oregon has promoted the development of wave energy off its coast. While the state may be well suited for the technology because of an abundant wave resource and supporting coastal infrastructure there remain potential barriers to implementing this policy, including uncertainties about the technology and concerns for impacts...

Early maturing males in a partially migratory population of anadromous and resident rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss: influences of individual condition and stream temperature

Creator:: McMillan, John R.
Abstract:: Alternative male phenotypes in salmonine fishes arise from individuals that mature as either larger and older anadromous marine-migrants or as smaller and younger freshwater residents. Variability in age and size of males at maturity is hypothesized to be preceded by early differences in growth in size and lipid storage. Water...

Water quality of runoff from flood irrigated pasture in the Klamath Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Ciotti, Damion C.
Abstract:: Runoff from agricultural lands into Upper Klamath Basin rivers and lakes can cause water quality problems affecting fish and wildlife. Excessive eutrophication in Upper Klamath Lake is linked to high nutrient input (particularly phosphorus) stemming from both lake sediments and watershed tributaries. On a unit area load basis the Wood...

Distribution of bats in Southeast Alaska and selection of day-roosts in trees by Keen’s myotis on Prince of Wales Island, Southeast Alaska

Creator:: Boland, Julia L.
Abstract:: We conducted capture and acoustic surveys for bats in six areas along a latitudinal gradient in Southeast Alaska from mid-May to September in 2005 and we continued surveys on Prince of Wales Island from mid-May to September in 2006. We determined the level of effort required to catch each species...

Potential impacts of climate change on vegetation distributions, carbon stocks, and fire regimes in the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Rogers, Brendan M.
Abstract:: The U.S Pacific Northwest contains a wide variety of ecosystems, all subject to relatively dry summers and wet winters. As has been shown with paleoclimatic and paleoecological data, the region is vulnerable to changes in climate. We assessed the sensitivities of vegetation distributions, carbon stocks, and fire regimes to 21st...

N processing in grass seed crops differing in soil drainage and disturbance in western Oregon, U.S.A.

Creator:: Nelson, Machelle A.
Abstract:: A better understanding of grass seed crop and soil fertility is necessary to improve fertilizer practices and preserving water quality in Willamette Valley, Oregon, where 55% of land-use is in grass seed production that directly impacts adjacent waterways containing native protected fish species. I determined tillage effects on soil N...

Rangeland privatization and the Maasai experience : implications for livestock herding, open space, and wildlife conservation in southern Kenya

Creator:: Sundstrom, Shiloh
Abstract:: For centuries in what is now southern Kenya and northern Tanzania, nomadic, Maasai livestock herders have coexisted with vast populations of wildlife. Today, both wildlife and the Maasai herding lifestyle, a vital component of Maasai culture, are threatened by changes to the landscape and losses in mobility, including the policy...

Evaluating Oregon's beach sites and assessing twenty-six coastal beach areas for recreational water quality standards

Creator:: Benedict, Rae T.
Abstract:: With congressional passage of the BEACH Act in October of 2000, Coastal and Great Lakes states were mandated to assess coastal recreation waters for the application of ambient water quality standards. This research encompasses two components involved in applying the BEACH Act statues to Oregon. The first component was to...

Denitrification and vegetative uptake in a pasture, poplar and native oak riparian buffer area

Creator:: Brown, Dina E.
Abstract:: Managing riparian buffer zones is a potentially important approach to protecting streams from agricultural pollution. This study was conducted to determine if a pasture, a hybrid poplar (Populus trichocarpa x deltoides) stand, or a native oak (Quercus garryana) forest, had the greatest potential to serve as a nutrient buffer zone....
