The Role of Southern Oregon's Coastal Islands in Prehistoric Subsistence

Creator:: Gard, Howard A.
Abstract:: The portion of the Oregon coast extending from Cape Blanco south into California has long been recognized as a distinct physiographic region, with probable ramifications for prehistoric subsistence and settlement patterns. Several researchers have proposed models outlining a greater reliance upon marine/littoral resources among groups within this region, while more...

Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Broad-scale Predictive Models : Influences of Scale

Creator:: Hooper, Samuel
Abstract:: Developing accurate predictive distribution models requires adequately representing relevant spatial and temporal scales, as these scales are ultimately reflective of the relationships between distributions and influential environmental conditions. In this research, we considered both spatial and temporal scale and the influence each has on predicting broad-scale distributions of two disparate...

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...

Feeding of golden-mantled ground squirrels by park visitors at Crater Lake National Park

Creator:: Schwarzkopf, S. Kent
Abstract:: Interaction between the golden-mantled ground squirrel and park visitors at a highly visited portion of the Rim Village area of Crater Lake National Park was studied. Observations were made of the total number of visitors entering the area, age, sex, and group composition of visitors who fed the squirrels, type...

Public Participation in Urban Policy – Solution Papers Founded on Objectivity and Mutual Respectfulness

Creator:: Zarins, Eriks
Abstract:: In recent times, public policy debates in the United States have been very contentious and dysfunctional. To help improve this situation, a multi-discipline research effort was conducted to look at "solution papers" as a form of public participation. Specifically, the roles of objectivity and mutual respectfulness were under consideration. Foundational...

Advancements in the Monitoring of Forests and Quantification of Live Aboveground Biomass Using Moderate Resolution Spaceborne Multispectral Imagery and Synthetic Aperture Radar Data

Creator:: Kilbride, John B.
Abstract:: The objective of this dissertation is to enhance the monitoring of forest ecosystems through the utilization of remotely sensed data to address the exigencies posed by the Anthropocene. On a global scale, rising temperatures and fluctuating precipitation patterns have strained forests and produced shifts in natural disturbance regimes. Additionally, the...

The effectiveness of the Special Farm Use Assessment Program in Jefferson County, Oregon - a comparative study

Creator:: Hunter, Steven Robert
Abstract:: Oregon's Special Farm Use Assessment program is investigated in this paper for its effectiveness in preserving farmland from urban sprawl. Basic research for this study was conducted in Jefferson County, a rural central Oregon county. Data from a similar study conducted in Washington County, an urbanizing northern Willamette Valley county,...

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...
