Spatial patterns of early forest succession following harvest in Lookout Creek Basin, OR

Creator:: Nesje, Alissa M.
Abstract:: The general objective of this project was to test a method to document rates and pathways of early succession and investigate potential predictive factors on a landscape to regional scale. The method incorporates remote sensing, vector Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and raster GIS modeling. Similar projects have been conducted elsewhere...

The effects of stand thinning on soil erosion rates at Jim's Creek in the Willamette National Forest, Oregon

Creator:: McFadden, Andrew K.
Abstract:: Surface sediment transport is an important geomorphic process which can be significantly altered by management activities in forested ecosystems. Disturbance of the soil surface may result in increased sediment delivery to fish bearing streams and degradation of soil structure. Selective thinning and low impact yarding techniques were utilized in an...

A quantitative analysis and description of the delivery and distribution of large woody debris in Cummins Creek, Oregon

Creator:: McGarry, Edward V.
Abstract:: Large woody debris (LWD) consists of boles, root wads and large branches that enter the stream through a variety of processes including senescence, wind throw, bank failure, fire, and debris torrents brought on by flood events. Within the stream, LWD provides significant benefits to aquatic organisms by contributing nutrients, providing...

Western Juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) distribution, Bear Creek Buttes, Deschutes County, Oregon: some possible ecological and cultural influences

Creator:: Frates, Dennis Marshall
Abstract:: Several environmental and cultural factors were studied to explain the distribution of western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis Hook.) in an area one mile northwest of Millican, Oregon. In the study area juniper grows densely on upper south slopes and only sparsely occurs on upper north slopes. Juniper moisture stress was found...

Quantitative basin morphology and channel stability with reference to nonpoint sources of pollution in Evans Creek, Oregon

Creator:: Krupin, Paul J.
Abstract:: A Stream Reach Inventory and Channel Stability Evaluation procedure has been used to assess the nature and extent of erosional nonpoint sources of pollution in the Evans Creek basin, a tributary to the Rogue River, in southwestern Oregon. The study is based upon the results of the Oregon Department of...

Fostering social-ecological resilience in the Upper Klamath Basin : The National Riparian Service Team's Creeks and Communities strategy and an emerging model for government in adaptive co-management

Creator:: Paulekas, Robyn N.
Abstract:: Social-ecological resilience theory is part of a new paradigm for understanding and managing complex coupled human-ecological systems. The theory aims to inform explorations of a system’s ability to withstand disturbance while maintaining its critical functions. Adaptive co-management has been proposed as a governance mechanism that can enhance resiliency by combining...

Watershed management in the Johnson Creek Basin

Creator:: Gerhardt, Nikolaus
Abstract:: The Johnson Creek Basin, Oregon is an example of the physical and jurisdictional problems often associated with watershed urbanization. Implementation of solutions to problems of water quality and quantity in the basin have been hindered by political and social constraints. Reasons for the failure of previous management proposals are analyzed...

Monitoring individual particle transport in a gravel bedded stream using a passive radio transponder system, Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Childers, Elayne S.
Abstract:: Gathering empirical data on the factors and processes affecting bedload transport in the field is difficult. This project conducted during the winter of 1996 field tested a new passive method of positively tracking individual particle movement. The project was conducted in Oak Creek, a gravel bedded stream, located in Corvallis,...

Revegetation of gold placer mining spoils, Sterling Creek, Oregon

Creator:: Crowe, Linda Mary
Abstract:: Tree and shrub revegetation on mining spoils of an abandoned gold placer mine at Sterling Creek, Jackson County, Oregon were examined. Point-centered quarter and line-intercept methods of vegetation analysis were used to compile species lists and determine species density, frequency, mean basal area and dominance. A relation exists between the...

Urbanization of upper Oak Creek Basin Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Williams, James C.
Abstract:: The annual growth rate for the Corvallis-Benton County area has traditionally been higher than the growth rate for the State of Oregon. Corvallis is considered to be one of the most densely settled communities in the state. Since 1972, Corvallis has experienced a drastic decline in the number of housing...
