The morphology and ecological importance of habitats associated with the margin of third-order stream channels in the Oregon Cascades were studied in streams in three different riparian types: 450-year-old conifers, 40-year-old alder, and an open, herbaceous-dominated clearcut. Margins, backwaters, and side channels in streams create important habitat for fry of...
Green-tree retention is being implemented on state and
federal lands in Oregon. Silvicultural prescriptions with
tree and snag retention are thought to mimic natural
disturbance patterns in the Pacific Northwest more closely
than traditional silvicultural practices, which reduce
structural complexity. The effects of green-tree retention
on native bird species in...
Oregon State University swine herd records of 456
litters farrowed between 1962-73 in three populations were
analyzed on a generation basis to compare changes in
performance of a Composite population to parental
Berkshire and Yorkshire breeds. Analysis was performed in
six discrete and overlapping generations on backfat
thickness, loin eye...
