Nutritional and managerial considerations for wintering beef cattle in the northern Great Basin

Creator:: Brandyberry, Steven D.
Abstract:: A study was conducted to determine effects of year and season on diet quality of beef cattle grazing northern Great Basin rangelands from 1990 to 1993. Forage quality was high early in the growing season, then declined as seasons progressed (P<.05). Plant chemical composition was higher early in the growing...

Contextual systems description of an Oregon coastal watershed

Creator:: Goetze, Brigitte
Abstract:: Many resource management controversies indicate disagreement about the possible intended and unintended effects of management actions on ecosystems. Researchers have documented a variety of negative effects on specific ecosystems, e. g. the degradation of salmonid habitat due to mass wasting (Hagans et al. 1986). While the effects of some management...

Market water transfers as a water quality policy : a case study of the Malheur River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Connor, Jeffery D.
Abstract:: Agronomic research documents a strong correlation between the level of irrigation water applied and the level of farm chemicals leached into water bodies. Consequently, policies that cause farmers to alter irrigation water management practices are likely to influence water quality. Water markets are a potentially attractive method of addressing agriculturally...

Abstract:: Stocks of salmon are declining in the Pacific Northwest. Based on region-wide studies that list and categorize the status of salmon stocks (Nehlsen et al., 1991; Huntington et al., 1994; and Nawa, 1995), I analyze the watersheds where stocks of salmon spawn for several anthropogenic variables, most of which are...

An investigation of alternative means of achieving water quality objectives

Creator:: Kerri, Kenneth Donald
Abstract:: Storage of water for water quality control is one of the alternative means of achieving water quality objectives. Authorities in the field of water quality management disagree regarding the use of precious water for the dilution of wastes. The costs of achieving water quality objectives by treatment of wastes at...

A cost effectiveness analysis of actions to reduce stream temperature : a case study of the Mohawk watershed

Creator:: Mooney, Sian, 1965-
Abstract:: The concept of ecosystem management requires that management prescriptions account for economic and environmental goals that are measured in non-commensurate units. This study examines the economic and environmental trade-offs associated with planting a riparian buffer in trees to reduce stream temperatures in the Mohawk watershed, Oregon. The detrimental effects of...
