Comparing the United States West Coast Marine Protected Area levels of protection and their effectiveness to retain viable habitat connectivity with increasing human uses and global change

Creator:: Kesling, Joshua
Abstract:: Coastal communities rely on the abundant ecosystem services derived from robust conservation areas in offshore marine waters (Campbell, 2019). United Nations member states support the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) framework, wherein the 14th guideline asserts the importance of life under water. Protected marine environments are critical to the survival of...

Comparing Native Oral History and Scientific Research to Produce Historical Evidence of Native Occupation During and After the Missoula Floods

Creator:: Woodside, Gail J.
Abstract:: The Missoula Floods occurred approximately fifteen thousand to thirteen thousand years ago during the last ice age. The floods occurred when waters held back by a finger of the Purcell Ice Lobe gave way allowing water which covered present day Missoula, Montana to inundate areas of Idaho, Washington, and Oregon....

Our Natural Family: A study of young children and how we connect with nature

Creator:: Tilleman, Kirsten
Abstract:: While humans are inextricably connected to nature, we live in a world whose anthropocentric fixation on progress begins severing that connection at birth. Through research with young children, their parents, and their care-providers, this project helped fill the research gap in early childhood ecological education by helping identify children’s ways...

Creating Useful and Usable Climate Tools for Sagebrush Land Management Through Scientist and Manager Collaboration

Creator:: Brown, Melanie
Abstract:: The sagebrush ecosystem, home to numerous plant and animal species including big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) and the endemic greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), has endured fragmentation and degradation of both quantity and quality due to the cumulative and synergistic relationships between an abundance of individual disturbances including grazing, invasive annuals and...

Effects of wildfire on soil hydraulic properties on hillslopes in southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Cole, Ryan
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of wildfire on soil hydraulic properties of forested hillslopes. The study site was located within the Stouts Creek wildfire, which burned approximately 10,705 ha of forest in southwestern Oregon in summer 2015. Three soil hydraulic properties (soil moisture, unsaturated hydraulic...

A Tool for Estimating the Health Benefits from Outdoor Recreation in Oregon

Creator:: Dunn, Tara E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this project is to modify the Transportation Options Health Impact Estimator (TO Estimator) tool to quantify the health impacts of outdoor recreation in Oregon. The TO Estimator tool uses the Integrated Transportation and Health Impact Model (ITHIM) to quantitatively estimate the hypothetical health impacts of transportation mode...

Stand Structure of Old Growth Dry Mixed Conifer Forests in the Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests

Creator:: Merschel, Andrew G.
Abstract:: Old-growth dry-mixed conifer forests are valued as habitats for late seral forest species, for the ecosystem services and landscape diversity they provide, and for their aesthetic appeal. The structure of these forests has been heavily altered by historic logging of overstory ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir. Additionally, changes in fire regime...

Exotic Species Success in Fire- and Harvest-Disturbed Forest Sites in Southwest Oregon

Creator:: Pearce-Smith, Sarabeth
Abstract:: Invasive plant species are a significant concern in Oregon’s forests, particularly in early-seral sites. Early-seral forests are generated by severe disturbances such as fire or timber harvest, and persist until canopy closure. They are vulnerable to invasion because they have abundant resources, and are important because they provide unique resources....
