Riparian vegetation composition and structure associated with channel morphology of headwater meadow streams in the Blue Mountains, northeast Oregon

Creator:: Toledo, Zachary O.
Abstract:: Relationships between the structure and composition of riparian vegetation with channel morphology were examined in three montane meadow streams in the headwaters of the Upper Grande Ronde River and North Fork John Day River in the Blue Mountains, northeast Oregon. Vegetation composition, root biomass, and channel morphology cross-sections were sampled...

Lotic macroinvertebrate distribution patterns in northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Gerth, William J.
Abstract:: This study was an investigation of lotic macroinvertebrate distribution in northeastern Oregon at two different spatial and biological scales. Examination of assemblages at a limited spatial scale revealed relationships with natural and disturbance gradients and led to questions about distribution of a population at broader spatial scales. In a 16...

Relationships among in-stream physical habitat, land use, and geology in small coastal streams of northern Oregon

Creator:: Scott, Larissa E.
Abstract:: Salmonid populations in the Pacific Northwest are at historic lows and many populations continue to decline. Previous studies have linked salmonid declines to land use through degradation of in-stream physical habitat, but few of these studies have taken geology into consideration. This study relates habitat parameters known to be important...

The lower Rogue River : recreation resources : development and potential

Creator:: Davis, Roger Keith
Abstract:: The increased use of outdoor recreation as a part of the American way of life has focused attention on the diminishing ratio of suitable land available to meet the recreational demands. In Oregon, where the demand is greatest, there is still ample undeveloped land for recreation use. There exists, therefore...

Centralia steam-electric project - a story of resource development

Creator:: May, Denny L.
Abstract:: Coal was discovered in southwestern Washington over One hundred years ago but until recently was of only minor local importance. From the peak production year, in which less than one-third of a million tons of coal were mined, until the late 1960's, the coal production of the area degenerated to...
