Grain is produced on upwards of 100,000 acres in the Klamath Basin, including nearly 50,000 acres within the Klamath Reclamation Project. Susceptibility to late spring frosts has historically limited winter cereal production and spring cereals have accounted for the majority of production. Starting in 2003, acres seeded to winter wheat...
Grain is produced on about 100,000 acres in the Klamath Basin and 60,000 acres within the Klamath Reclamation Project. Susceptibility to late spring frosts has historically limited winter cereal production and spring cereals have accounted for the majority of production. Starting in 2003, a significant shift to production of hard...
Scientists seek to explore the relationship between land use and nitrogen levels at different places along the Calapooia River. Featuring Bill Floyd and Dr. Stephen Schoenholtz.
Phytoplankton biomass in high-nitrate, low-chlorophyll (HNLC) ocean regions exhibits a pronounced stability: variation occurs only within a narrow range of values. The magnitude of this variation has profound ecological and geochemical consequences. While mechanisms believed to set the upper limits to HNLC phytoplankton biomass (iron limitation, microherbivore grazing) have received...
This paper analyses what are the potential outlets on European markets for new farmed fish. In the first part, the main striking features about the structure and evolution of the European fish trade over the last decade are presented. The analysis of fish imports and exports provides comprehensive data to...
Estimates of mass transfer timescales from 316 solute transport experiments reported in 35 publications are compared to the pore-water velocities and residence times, as well as the experimental durations. New tracer experiments were also conducted in columns of different lengths so that the velocity and the advective residence time could...

Often, when people buy a small farm they simply want someone to tell them what they can “do” with it. As strange as it might seem, this isn’t an easy question to answer. When landowners begin to make
important decisions related to the use of their property,
they might not...
Wood-plastic composites are made out of recycled materials such as pallets and milk jugs. Combining these materials offers a way to reduce waste and create a durable material. Simonsen and Kai-Chang Li work to create stronger, more affordable composites. Featuring Dr. John Simonsen and Dr. Kai-Chang Li.
The activity of commercial whaling is contentious, drawing the ire of animal rights and conservation groups who threaten boycotts of whaling nations' products. Whaling also has opportunity costs: in addition to existence value, whales provide nonextractive use values, i.e. whale watching. On the other hand, proponents of whaling argue many...
This project surveyed and prioritized 36 tidal and freshwater wetland sites totaling 733 ha (1811A) in the Elk and Sixes River basins of Curry County, Oregon. Sites surveyed included emergent, scrub-shrub, and forested wetlands. The goal was to prioritize these wetland sites for voluntary conservation and restoration actions by willing...
