Creator:: Weisberg, Peter J.
Abstract:: Fire history and fire regimes were reconstructed for a 450 km² area in the central western Oregon Cascades, using tree-ring analysis of fire scars and tree origin years at 137 sampled clearcuts. I described temporal patterns of fire frequency, severity, and size, and interpreted topographic influences on fire frequency and...

Creator:: Vanderbilt, Kristin Lynn, 1967-
Abstract:: Seasonal and annual patterns of N fluxes and concentrations in streamwater in six conifer-dominated watersheds at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, OR, were studied to gain insight into the factors that influence N retention in this ecosystem. Processes affecting N flux in streamwater differed between organic (DON) and inorganic (DIN;...

Creator:: Wondzell, Steve
Abstract:: Changes in the concentrations of dissolved ammonia (NH4+1), nitrate (NO3-1), organic nitrogen (DON) were monitored along ground water flow paths to determine the importance of the ground water system to the stream nitrogen budget. The study site was located on a wide floodplain along a fourth-order stream in the Oregon...

Creator:: Tepley, Alan J.
Abstract:: Descriptions of the fire regime in the Douglas-fir/western hemlock region of the Pacific Northwest traditionally have emphasized infrequent, predominantly stand-replacement fires and an associated linear pathway of stand development, where all stands proceed along a common pathway until reset by the next fire. Although such a description may apply in...
