Elevation, thermal environment, and stream temperatures on headwater streams in northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Meays, Cynthia L.
Abstract:: A case study examining the relationship between stream temperatures and the thermal environment through which streams flow was conducted on the headwaters of 4 tributaries of the Burnt River (Barney, Elk, Greenhorn, and Stevens Creeks) in northeastern Oregon during July through August 1998 and 1999. Barney Creek and Stevens Creek...

Debris flows and flood disturbance in small, mountain watersheds

Creator:: Snyder, Kai U.
Abstract:: This study examined debris flows occurring in a 125 km² study area in the Blue River watershed in the western Cascade Mountains of Oregon over a 50-year period. Debris flow occurrence was found to be concentrated in a distinct zone of high activity occupying approximately half of the study area,...

Oak Creek, Research and Teaching in OSU's Home Watershed

Creator:: Wright, Maria
Abstract:: This is a PDF of material on the Oak Creek Website which was created in 2002. The main purpose of the site was to create an annotated bibliography of research activities in the watershed which surrounds the Oregon State University Campus. Because of its proximity to campus, many students and...

Composition, structure, and biomass of cottonwood-dominated gallery forests along a successional gradient, Willamette River, Oregon

Creator:: Fierke, Melissa K.
Abstract:: Recognizing the importance of native black cottonwood-dominated riparian forests is especially important to preserve, protect, and manage for biodiversity in the Willamette River Valley. Species composition, structure, and biomass along a successional gradient from stand initiation to late succession of black cottonwood (Populus balsamfera L. subsp. trichocarpa (T. & G.)...

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...

The influence of environmental and physical factors on the thermal patterns of headwater streams

Creator:: Carr, Craig A.
Abstract:: A case study was performed in 2000 and 2001 to characterize the thermal pattern of four morphologically similar eastern Oregon streams and to identify the physical and environmental factors that expressed significant and functionally viable relationships with stream temperature (daily maximum, daily minimum and daily rate of heating). Stream and...

Oregon's Water Temperature Standard and its Application: Causes, Consequences, and Controversies Associated with Stream Temperature

Creator:: Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (Or.)
Abstract:: Oregon water temperature standards were described by former Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber’s Office as “an important component of the water quality element of the Oregon Plan [for Salmon and Watersheds]”. In 1998, Governor Kitzhaber’s Office and the Oregon Legislature asked the Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (IMST) to examine and review...

Placement of felled western juniper trees over a stream channel : Effects on water temperature, streamside willow shrubs, and redband trout

Creator:: Matney, Casey A.
Abstract:: All streams in Oregon that are inhabited by salmon and trout have a statemandated water temperature standard. However, temperatures of many streams, especially during summer months, exceed the seven-day average maximum temperature parameter (200 C for redband trout inhabited streams) accepted by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. To date,...

Community analysis of the Wyoming big sagebrush alliance and functional role of Wyoming big sagebrush

Creator:: Davies, Kirk W.
Abstract:: This study consisted of two research projects in the Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis (Beetle & A. Young) S.L. Welsh) alliance, the most extensive of the big sagebrush complex in the Intermountain West. In the first project, we intensively sampled 107 relatively undisturbed, late seral Wyoming big sagebrush...
