Creator:: Skaugset, Arne E.
Abstract:: Intragravel organic loading and intragravel dissolved oxygen were studied to determine the relationship between timber harvesting adjacent to first-, second-, and third-order streams and intragravel water quality. Twenty watersheds in the central Coast Range of western Oregon were studied of which five were undisturbed, nine were partially harvested, and six...

Creator:: Heimann, David C.
Abstract:: This study investigated the long-term consequences of timber stand removal on the recruitment, physical characteristics, and spatial distribution of coarse woody debris in small (second- and third-order) streams of the Oregon Coast Range. A chronosequence of stream-stand systems, ranging from 21- to 140-years since disturbance (YSD), were sampled to determine...

Creator:: Long, Barry A.
Abstract:: Research was conducted in the Oregon Coast Range to address the concern that conversion of large diameter old-growth forests to small diameter second-growth forests would lead to reduction of large woody debris in adjacent stream channels. The objective of the study was to quantify spatial trends in large woody debris...

Creator:: Vanderheyden, Jon
Abstract:: This study evaluated the recovery of compacted soils on logging skid trails in clearcuts of the western Cascade Mountains of Oregon. Soil types included clay, clay loam, silt loam, loam, sandy loam and loamy sands. Sites ranged in age from five to 38 years since harvest and 370 to llOOm...

Creator:: Zeb, Aurang
Abstract:: Summer low-flow behavior in the semi-arid areas of the Pacific Northwest was studied. Long-term data from thirty-eight streams/rivers and thirty-six precipitation stations was exploited. The study area was divided into five zones based on annual average precipitation. Trends and patterns in summer low-flows and precipitation were identified. Different zones showed...

Creator:: Reba, Michele L.
Abstract:: Three culverts, judged to be fish barriers, were replaced with "stream simulation" culverts on the Fremont National Forest of south central Oregon. The culvert sites are located in the Fort Rock Basin in streams that are home to resident Great Basin redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Great Basin redband trout is...
