  • Analysis of hydrology and erosion in small, paired watersheds in a juniper-sagebrush area of central Oregon

    Creator:
    Fisher, Michael, (Michael Patrick), 1966-
    Abstract:
    Current research indicates that the expansion of western juniper can inhibit soil water retention, storage and prolonged releases from watersheds. This phenomenon is of great importance in eastern Oregon, as western juniper is encroaching into sagebrush/grass communities with a correlated reduction in herbaceous ground cover, resulting in reduced infiltration rates...

  • Watershed response to western juniper control

    Creator:
    Deboodt, Timothy L.
    Abstract:
    Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) encroachment has been associated with increased soil loss and reduced infiltration resulting in the loss of native herbaceous plant communities and the bird and animal species that rely on them. Hydrologically, however, change in water yield has been linked with the amount of annual precipitation a...
