Creator:: Larsen, Royce E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects that free ranging cattle have on water quality in semi-arid environments. There were three specific objectives: 1) To determine the concentration and distribution of cattle feces in meadows, riparian zones, and the associated uplands. 2) To determine the fecal deposition...

Creator:: Bohn, Carolyn C.
Abstract:: This thesis describes a case study of the effects of five systems of grazing on watershed values in a deteriorated riparian area. Soil infiltration, bulk density and penetrability, streambank edge movement and coliform bacteria were monitored for seven years along a stream in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon. For...

Creator:: Meays, Cynthia L.
Abstract:: A case study examining the relationship between stream temperatures and the thermal environment through which streams flow was conducted on the headwaters of 4 tributaries of the Burnt River (Barney, Elk, Greenhorn, and Stevens Creeks) in northeastern Oregon during July through August 1998 and 1999. Barney Creek and Stevens Creek...

Creator:: Matney, Casey A.
Abstract:: All streams in Oregon that are inhabited by salmon and trout have a statemandated water temperature standard. However, temperatures of many streams, especially during summer months, exceed the seven-day average maximum temperature parameter (200 C for redband trout inhabited streams) accepted by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. To date,...

Creator:: Carr, Craig A.
Abstract:: A case study was performed in 2000 and 2001 to characterize the thermal pattern of four morphologically similar eastern Oregon streams and to identify the physical and environmental factors that expressed significant and functionally viable relationships with stream temperature (daily maximum, daily minimum and daily rate of heating). Stream and...
