The utility of a decision-support model to assess watershed condition for salmon recovery

Creator:: Mintkeski, Tyler G.
Abstract:: Many contemporary fisheries and wildlife issues are complex, messy, and divisive. Most share a set of common characteristics including a lack of comprehensive scientific information, a limited understanding of biological processes, a scarcity of agency staff, time, money, and a tendency for differences over policy preferences to end up as...

Economic and social impacts of restoration : a case study of the Great Basin Region

Creator:: Satyal, Vijayanand H.
Abstract:: The last five decades of research in arid land ecology cites Invasive species as a source of imbalances in biodiversity through habitat destruction and reductions of native species through ecosystem alterations in favor of non-native species. Invasive species are known to damage not only the surrounding ecosystem but also cause...

Interactions of Hydrological Processes and Riparian Zone Function During Seasonal Ceased Flow Regimes Within an Intermittent Stream Basin of the Oak Creek Watershed, Oregon, USA

Creator:: Colter, Nicholas R.
Abstract:: Riparian zone conservation is vital as species’ ability to adapt to a changing climate and pressure from land use is constantly tested. The unique microclimates of riparian zones offer cooler temperatures and resourceful habitats for aquatic and terrestrial organisms. This is essential during seasonal ceased flow regimes when water availability...

Nonhuman Livelihoods in the Columbia River Basin: A study of salmon-sea lion-human relations

Creator:: Copeland, Kellen
Abstract:: This work explores contemporary human-nonhuman relations in the Columbia River Basin of the Pacific Northwest United States. Specifically, it draws from Columbia sea lions to illustrate how salmon-sea lion-human relations are entangled in the North American Wildlife Management model of nonhuman genocide. It follows a multispecies ethnographic design where over...

Penumbra : A Spatiotemporal Shade-Irradiance Analysis Tool with External Model Integration for Landscape Assessment, Habitat Enhancement, and Water Quality Improvement

Creator:: Halama, Jonathan James
Abstract:: Several solar energy models exist, but all models must balance: computational runtime, light complexity, and model output volume. These models span the spectrum of simplistic global solar energy equation sets to complex light ray-tracing models. Spatiotemporally inaccurate representations of solar energy may cause compounding simulation effects and introduce unknown modeling...

An Ecoregion-Based Reference Condition and Classification Scheme for Determining Nutrient Criteria in Oregon Lakes

Creator:: Brenner, Jacqueline M.
Abstract:: The anthropogenic introduction of nutrients to water bodies has been shown to alter the structure and function of natural aquatic ecosystems, yet national EPA lake and reservoir nutrient criteria remain too broad for effective regional water quality management. This study uses a reference site approach to propose numeric nutrient criteria...
