  • Patterns of water resource decision-making: minimum stream flows in the Willamette Basin

    Creator:
    Griffith, Glenn Edwin
    Abstract:
    Oregon's minimum stream flow program is intended to protect certain instream flow values by maintaining sufficient stream flows to support aquatic life and to minimize pollution. The increasing demand for consumptive uses of water, as well as certain deficiencies in the laws, policies, and administration of the program, bring into...

  • A transhumance beef industry of southern Oregon

    Creator:
    Henderly, Herschel H.
    Abstract:
    The Upper Kiamath Valley and Klamath Marsh areas of south-central Oregon comprise the summer range for a modern system of transhumance agriculture. Approximately 72,000 head of cattle are annually trucked from these relatively small Kiamath pastures to winter pastures scattered throughout the Sacramento Valley. Field research indicates that the development...

  • Alternative uses for ryegrass lands

    Creator:
    Johnson, Lynn D.
    Abstract:
    Agricultural field burning in Oregon's Willamette Valley has been an accepted farming practice for sanitizing fields and removing stubble and residues left on fields after harvest since the early 1940s. Unfortunately, the smoke and debris created by the burning in combination with other pollutants have been causing health and environmental...

  • Factors affecting rural land value

    Creator:
    Rich, Stanley Arthur
    Abstract:
    The value per-acre and annual amortization of rural land varies dynamically by parcel size. There are several adjustment factors or independent variables spatial, productive and development potential which affect the market value of all rural land. The evaluation of these must be accomplished by parcel size to be realistically equated....

  • Archaeological Investigations at the Seal Rock Site, 35LNC14 : A Late Prehistoric Shell Midden Located on the Central Oregon Coast

    Creator:
    Clark, Linda Ann
    Abstract:
    Seal Rock (35LNC14) is a late prehistoric shell midden site located on the central Oregon coast. Information derived from the faunal remains, radiocarbon dates, and location and size of the midden deposits suggest the site represents a late littoral stage of cultural adaptation. Analyses of lithic artifacts, and bone and...

  • Demographic effects on school support in Oregon

    Creator:
    Kepler, Richard J.
    Abstract:
    The differences in the per student cost of education and the taxes to pay for that education can be attributed, in part, to the rate of population growth within a school district. The lowest coats and taxes are found in those school districts with the fastest growing populations. As the...

  • Impacts of instream flows on the Colorado River Delta, Mexico : spatial vegetation change analysis and opportunities for restoration

    Creator:
    Zamora-Arroyo, Jose Francisco
    Abstract:
    Until the 1930s, flows of the Colorado River maintained approximately 781,060 hectares of wetlands in its delta. These wetlands provided important feeding and nesting grounds for resident and migratory birds as well as spawning and protection habitat for many fish and other invertebrate species. However, the Delta's wetlands started to...

    Abstract:
    The Greenbelt Land Trust (GLT) (a grass-roots conservation group in Oregon) is interested in a conservation plan for the Marys River Corridor. To facilitate this effort, a resource inventory was required and a Geographic Information System (GIS) data base used to compile the inventory (called the Marys River Project (MRP))....

  • Geographic Information Systems and rural land use analysis : an evaluation of alternative data sources

    Creator:
    Mickaelson, Nels E.
    Abstract:
    A Geographic Information System (GIS) can be a powerful tool for solving land use planning problems. The synthesis, analysis, and depiction of spatial data make it a valuable tool for land use planners. A primary issue with GIS is the cost and time required to develop a functional system. One...

    Creator:
    Possiel, William John
    Abstract:
    The dramatic upsurge of contract-supported archaeological activity, generated by legislative action, has precipitated an increase in information about Oregon's prehistoric peoples. This information, however, has not been presented in a format which can be easily understood by the general public. This study presents an account of early peoples in Oregon,...
