The use of motor carrier weigh station reports in commodity flow analysis of the Oregon forest products industry - 1976

Creator:: Howes, Edwin R.
Abstract:: Data on motor carrier commodity weights collected in 1976 at Oregon weigh stations by the Public Utilities Commission and the Department of Transportation are not in a form that readily allows for commodity flow analysis. A methodology is presented that reduces existing forest product commodity data into a graphically displayed...

Do vigorous young forests reduce streamflow? Results from up to 54 years of streamflow records in eight paired-watershed experiments in the H. J. Andrews and South Umpqua Experimental Forests

Creator:: Perry, Timothy D.
Abstract:: This study quantified the magnitude and timing of summer streamflow deficits in paired-watershed experiments in the Cascade Range of Oregon where mature and old-growth conifer forests were subjected to clearcutting, patch cutting, and overstory thinning treatments in the 1960s and 1970s. Hydrologic effects of clearcutting, small-patch cutting, and overstory thinning...

Some potential impacts of scenic waterway designation of the North Umpqua River on employment related to the wood products industry in Douglas County, Oregon

Creator:: Rubenstein, Ruthanne
Abstract:: The economy of Douglas County, Oregon, is heavily dependent upon the wood products industry, which is supported primarily by the timber resources within the county. Much of the related adjacent land along Steamboat Creek and a section of the North Umpqua River is currently managed by federal and private landowners...

Chilling as a factor in crop location with particular reference to deciduous orchards in California

Creator:: Aron, Robert Henry
Abstract:: Several empirical formulas that may be used to estimate available chilling are presented in this study. Many climatic parameters were considered in the derivation of these formulas. One equation employing only maximum and minimum temperatures had a coefficients of correlation (R) and R² values of .978 and .957, respectively. This...

A point-data analysis of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and its relationship to seasonal precipitation in the northwest United States

Creator:: Worley, Timothy J.
Abstract:: El Niflo and La Nifia are oceanographic and atmospheric phenomena that have been catalogued for well over a centuly. In El Nifio years, Peru's otherwise thy west coast is subjected to torrential rainfall. Higher ocean temperatures off the coast are deemed the culprit. Attempts to quantify this began in the...

Agricultural resources and socio-economic affluence of Oregon counties

Creator:: Benson, Barry Ralph
Abstract:: Limited measures of socio-economic affluence among some Oregon counties reflect deficiency in the availability and development of agricultural resources. Seventeen indicators qualify county census data into comparable relative values. Rank correlation analysis of the relationship between agricultural resources and socio-economic affluence demonstrates a significant correlation coefficient at the 95 percent...

Understanding the impact of climate change on snowpack extent and measurement in the Columbia River Basin and nested sub basins

Creator:: Brown, Aimee Lyn
Abstract:: Shifting climate patterns in the Columbia River basin are affecting snow pack, and, as a result, stream flow throughout the region. In the Oregon Cascades, ever growing populations, and their associated activities, place increasing stress on an already over allocated hydrologic system. Political pressures, including the possibility of renegotiation or...

Spatial relationships between aquifer depletion and irrigated cropland in Southeast Ford County, Kansas

Creator:: McCarty, Kevin
Abstract:: Irrigated crop production is a stabilizing element in the agricultural economy of Southeast Ford County, Kansas. The important role irrigation plays in the local economy creates a need to carefully consider the potential impact of aquifer depletion. An examination of the spatial and temporal characteristics of aquifer depletion in relation...

The late spring secondary precipitation maximum in the interior Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Quinn, Robert
Abstract:: The Late Spring Secondary Precipitation Maximum in the Interior Pacific Northwest results from a complex system of climatic controls. The Secondary Maximum is most strongly developed over the high plateau of Oregon immediately in the lee of the Cascade Mountains. Local topographic organization exerts strong control over the magnitude and...

Environmentally imposed problems of the range beef cattle industry in eastern Oregon

Creator:: Thomason, Leonora Marie
Abstract:: Beef cattle ranches provide a substantial portion of income in Oregon. Range beef cattle ranches are located on land having relatively low productivity and value. The ranches of interest for this study were among the largest and most extensive in the state. The purpose of the study was to examine...
