River restoration: active vs. passive restoration efforts, Alder Creek example

Creator:: Keating, Stephen
Abstract:: The practice of river and stream restoration has increased with heightened environmental concerns and awareness. Many of these projects use structural modifications in an attempt to mimic natural landscapes. These structural modifications represent an active approach to river and stream restoration. Active restoration projects are well funded and extensively constructed....

Ecological status and dynamics of a salt marsh restoration in the Salmon River Estuary, Oregon

Creator:: Morlan, Janet C.
Abstract:: In 1978, a 22 ha diked pasture in the Salmon River estuary, Oregon, was restored to tidal influence. The goal was to re-establish the original salt marsh. The pasture had been diked for 17 years and was dominated by upland pasture species. The site had also subsided by 30- 40...

Mapping vegetation density and water inundation in a recovering wetland : the Mesopotamian Marshlands

Creator:: Bosley, Jon Michael
Abstract:: Once considered the largest wetland in Central Asia, the Mesopotamian Marshlands of Southeastern Iraq have nearly disappeared. Various hydrological projects by the Iraqi government and dam construction in the region have nearly destroyed these once rich freshwater wetlands by over 90%. With the launching of Operation Iraqi Freedom recent attempts...

Applications of multi-media cartography in Klamath Basin restoration

Creator:: Wayne, Christopher
Abstract:: The Klamath Basin of Oregon and California has been the scene of extensive ecosystem restoration activities in recent years. The need for restoration is based on changes in land use that have adversely affected water quality and wildlife habitat. Many different kinds of restoration projects are occurring at many different...

The historic and contemporary ecology of western Cascade meadows : archeology, vegetation, and macromoth ecology

Creator:: Highland, Steven A.
Abstract:: Montane meadows in the western Cascades of Oregon occupy approximately 5% of the landscape, but contribute greatly to the region's biodiversity. Western Cascades meadows are dynamic parts of the landscape and have contracted by over 50% in the past two hundred years in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (hereafter Andrews...

Plant community dynamics in remnant and restored Willamette Valley wetland prairies

Creator:: Schwindt, Rachel A.
Abstract:: Invasion by exotic species can pose a major challenge for developing native plant communities in wetland restoration projects. Often native plant communities do not develop as anticipated in restored wetlands due to colonization by exotic species that dominate the native plant community. Despite the time and expense to restore wetlands,...

Flow From Flexibility : Identifying Opportunities For Streamflow Restoration in a Transboundary Municipal Watershed Through Water Budgeting

Creator:: Pierson, Jessica S.
Abstract:: Municipal watersheds attempt to balance growing and conflicting demands for water for human use and for ecosystems. The Mill Creek basin, a 295 km2 basin in southeast Washington, exemplifies these conflicts. Since the late 1800s, the City of Walla Walla has withdrawn water from Mill Creek for municipal use. However,...

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...

Vegetation ecology and net primary productivity of selected freshwater wetlands in Oregon

Creator:: Boss, Theodore R. (Theodore Robert)
Abstract:: Vegetation ecology of eight Oregon freshwater wetlands was described and net aerial primary productivity estimated in four wetlands. Plant cover samples were used to classify 37 wetland and 11 terrestrial communities by agglomerative hierarchical clustering. Samples and species were ordinated. Direct measurements were made of sample relative elevation, inundation duration,...

Forest-meadow dynamics in the central western Oregon Cascades : topographic, biotic,and environmental change effects

Creator:: Rice, Janine M.
Abstract:: Montane meadows comprise a small area of the predominantly forested landscape of the Oregon Cascade Range. Tree encroachment in the last century in these areas has threatened a loss of biodiversity and habitat. Climate change in the coming century may accelerate tree encroachment into meadows, and exacerbate biodiversity loss. Multiple...
