Creator:: Hammond, Ellen, Kerr, Susan, Olson, Shilah, Tuck, Brian V., and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Whether you have 1 or 500 acres, it's important to have natural vegetation growing along the streams on your property. It's good for wildlife, stream health and property values.
Resource Type:: Technical Report and Video

Creator:: Czarnomski, Nicole M.
Abstract:: Proper use of vegetation in streambank bioengineering practices requires a comprehensive understanding of the influence of vegetation density on streambank hydraulics. A series of studies were conducted to investigate the relationship between independent variables vegetation density, bank angle, and discharge and dependent variables channel velocity, resistance, turbulence, and shear stress....

Creator:: Withrow-Robinson, Bradford A., Bennett, Max, 1963-, Ahrens, Glenn R., and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: A step-by-step guide to riparian tree and shrub planting in the Willamette Valley. Provides information on project planning, plant materials, site preparation, planting techniques, site maintenance, and monitoring and evaluation. Intended to help landowners, watershed council members, agency personnel, and others communicate about, plan, and implement woodland plantings near streams...
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Creator:: Elliott, Susan H.
Abstract:: Reed Canarygrass (RCG) is an aggressive invader in aquatic ecosystems that swiftly modifies the environment and decreases biodiversity. A physical model was used to investigate the mechanisms by which RCG spreads. Experimental trials were implemented to examine feedbacks between a mid-channel patch of the flexible RCG, hydraulics, and bedform evolution...

Creator:: Ruzicka, Kenneth J., 1982-
Abstract:: Forest management is rapidly undergoing a transformation from a discipline based on efficient commodity production to one for multiple uses, especially on federally managed land in the United States. This new management paradigm has challenged silviculturists to develop and adapt forest management techniques that can deal with increased demands. Using...

Full Text:: Context Matters: A Multi-scale Assessment of Riparian

Creator:: Batchelor, Jonathan L.
Abstract:: Remote sensing techniques have long been useful in quantifying changes in ecosystems and the field of remote sensing is constantly evolving to better assess and describe changes, both spatially and temporally. In this thesis I explored the novel use of two remote sensing methods to quantify ecosystems; repeat photograph to...
