Vulnerability and adaptation of Pacific Northwest shellfisheries to ocean acidification

Creator:: Katz, Brian G.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of shellfish stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest who are adapting to ocean acidification (OA). This study developed a geovisualization tool of existing environmental data for assessing species-specific risk profiles to OA (based on their exposure and sensitivity),...

Vegetation classification of wild turkey habitat in Umpqua National Forest using color aerial photography

Creator:: Hazell, Bret Jack
Abstract:: This project focuses on the classification of vegetation as a habitat for wild turkeys. The vegetation classification discussed here is only one part of a study looking at habitat requirements, seasonal use patterns, and brood-rearing habits of wild turkeys in Southern Oregon. The vegetation classification was performed for an area...

Turnover, Memory, Persistence: Four Decades of Ecological Community at Lost Valley

Creator:: Bruno, Mark P.
Abstract:: This study is an ethnographic investigation of residential turnover, organizational memory, and the persistence of Lost Valley, an Oregon ecovillage founded in 1989. Literature on organizational turnover, memory, and persistence is reviewed and integrated with scholarship on intentional communities and ecovillages, generating a theoretical framework for data collection and analysis....

Thornthwaite's moisture index as a measure of the intensity to which harvested cropland is devoted to corn under natural climatic conditions

Creator:: Hall, Robert Newell
Abstract:: Moisture has long been identified as one of the major limiting factors in the distribution of agricultural land use practices. However, the importance of any environmental element can only be determined by considering how it is affected by its relationship with other elements of the environment. Thornthwaite's moisture index attempts...

The Spatial distribution of parks and crime in Seattle, Washington

Creator:: Weems, Candice Michelle
Abstract:: Parks help to build social cohesion within a community. Urban open spaces offer a sense of place, act as the focal points for public gatherings, and provide an opportunity for social networking (Francis, 2003; Hayward, 1989). While offering so much they are also known to be places of disgust and...

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...

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...

The distribution of geologic and artifact obsidian from the Silver Lake/Sycan Marsh geochemical source group, South-Central Oregon

Creator:: Thatcher, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: Geochemical characterization methods are commonly used in the reconstruction of prehistoric raw material use and procurement systems. Trace element studies of lithic source material and artifacts, specifically those made of obsidian, can reveal important information about the environmental and cultural factors which influence the prehistoric distribution of raw material. The...

The cultural significance of mountain regions : implications for the Calapooya Divide, Oregon

Creator:: Starr, Karen J.
Abstract:: Altitudinal variations in upland regions of the earth create variable climatic zones and conditions. Plant and animal communities must adapt to these conditions, and when they reach their tolerance limits for environmental conditions at the upper levels of a zone, they cease to exist in the environment. Humans also utilize...

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...
