Riparian and wetland vegetation of central and eastern Oregon

Creator:: Crowe, Elizabeth A. (Elizabeth Ann), 1963-, Kovalchik, Bernard L., Kerr, Marie Jeannette James, 1968-, Oregon Natural Heritage Information Center, and Institute for Natural Resources
Abstract:: The structure and components of riparian areas influence the rate, amount, and timing of water, nutrients, organic debris, and inorganic materials that enter streams and rivers. The energy of floodwaters and their ultimate volume, timing and erosive power is influenced by the soils, vegetation and geomorphology of fluvial surfaces within...

Relations among hydrology, soils, and vegetation in riparian meadows : influence on organic matter distribution and storage

Creator:: Dwire, Kathleen A.
Abstract:: Organic matter dynamics in riparian ecosystems are largely driven by interactions among hydrology, soil, and vegetation. In two riparian meadows, northeast Oregon, I examined the hypothesis that vegetation and soil characteristics in three plant communities - defined as wet, moist, and dry meadow - were strongly influenced by hydrological and...

Multiscale controls on woody riparian vegetation : distribution, diversity, and tree regeneration in four western Oregon watersheds

Creator:: Sarr, Daniel Allen
Abstract:: I studied riparian forests of four western Oregon watersheds (dry south to wet north) to determine the multiscale controls on woody riparian vegetation. I conducted separate analyses of controls on plant distribution, diversity, and tree regeneration using vegetation and environmental data collected in two related field studies: (1) a multiscale...

Silviculture practices for riparian forests in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Emmingham, William H., Chan, Samuel S., Mikowski, Dan, Owston, Peyton W., Bishaw, Badege, and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: This publication is aimed at watershed councils, government agencies, and specialists (foresters, wildlife and fisheries biologists) interested in riparian area silviculture or watershed restoration. It contains information on the ecology of riparian forests and a checklist of recommended practices and common mistakes made in restoring conifers to hardwood-dominated riparian forests....

Buying Time: Instream Restoration

Creator:: Oregon State University. Extension Service and Godwin, Derek
Abstract:: Streams make up only one percent of the watershed. Nonetheless, they are an essential component to watershed health. Streams are home to wildlife and fish. Well-functioning streams contribute to water quantity and quality. And streams play an important role in flood and erosion control.

Riparian plant communities of northwest Oregon : streamside plant communities : Mt. Hood N.F., Siuslaw N.F., and Willamette N.F., Eugene District, BLM, and Salem District, BLM

Creator:: McCain, Cindy and United States. Forest Service. Pacific Northwest Region
Abstract:: This classification describes common streamside plant communities and the typical riparian settings in which they are found. The purpose of the guide is to allow an observer to interpret site factors from the vegetation, or to project potential plant community development from key site factors. It should be useful in...

A simulation model of wood dynamics in Pacific Northwest streams

Creator:: Meleason, Mark Alan
Abstract:: Conceptually, the dynamics of wood in streams can be viewed in terms of input and in-channel processes. Input processes are associated with both the riparian (tree fall, bank cutting, windthrow) and upslope forests (mass failures). In-channel processes include log breakage, movement, and decomposition. A mechanistic view of these processes is...

Recovery of Wild Salmonids in Western Oregon Lowlands

Creator:: Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (Or.)
Abstract:: This report discusses major characteristics of western Oregon’s lowland rivers, streams, and estuaries that the IMST finds to be important to wild salmonids. IMST describes how landscape scale factors (landscape structure, landscape function, disturbance regimes, and landscape scale biological processes) historically supported salmonid populations in western Oregon lowlands. The report...

Seasonal influences on food availability and diet of coastal cutthroat trout in relation to riparian vegetation

Creator:: Romero, Nicolas
Abstract:: Current riparian management objectives in the Pacific Northwest promote both retention of existing conifers and conversion of hardwood-dominated areas to conifers. Although understanding of relationships between riparian vegetation and salmonid prey availability is growing, temporal variation in these relationships is poorly understood. Seasonal fluxes in availability of aquatic and terrestrial...

Aquatic invertebrate-habitat relationships and stream channel cross section area change in response to streamside management zones in North Central Mississippi

Creator:: Luecker, Terry A.
Abstract:: The southern states lead the country in timber production and are subject to Best Management Practices (BMPs) designed to mediate the effects of forest harvesting on water quality. Small headwater streams on timberland in North Central Mississippi have received little attention with respect to effectiveness of the BMPs designed to...
