Oregon's Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program : likely participation and recommendations for implementation

Creator:: Kingsbury, Leigh
Abstract:: This study used contingent valuation techniques to model the probability of participation in Oregon's CREP as a function of the incentive payment and a vector of socio-economic variables. Possible reasons for non-participation were evaluated and landowner preferences for various program components were assessed. Recommendations for program improvement and implementation were...

Breeding and foraging ecology of Caspian terns nesting on artificial islands in the Upper Klamath Basin, California

Creator:: Patterson, Allison (Allison Glider)
Abstract:: Availability of suitable nesting habitat that is free of nest predators and provides access to adequate prey resources within commuting distance is a major factor limiting seabird populations. Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia) in western North America have shifted their breeding habitat from naturally occurring habitats in interior wetlands, lakes, and...

Evaluating "nuisance" beaver relocation as a tool to increase coho salmon habitat in the Alsea Basin of the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Petro, Vanessa M.
Abstract:: Many stakeholders involved with stream restoration in the Pacific Northwest have discussed the potential benefits of using beaver dam construction activities (Castor canadensis) as a management tool to improve degraded stream habitat for anadromous salmon species. In addition, there has been growing interest in using nuisance beavers, primarily controlled by...

Habitat restoration in the Columbia River Estuary : A strategy for implementing standard monitoring protocols

Creator:: Anderson, Michael G.
Abstract:: This project, to propose an implementation strategy for standard monitoring protocols, builds on my Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Fellowship to support a study entitled Evaluating Cumulative Ecosystem Response to Restoration Projects in the Columbia River Estuary (Diefenderfer et al. 2005). The major objective of the study was to develop a...

The effects of channel modification on characteristics of streams during low flow

Creator:: Atkinson, Brett
Abstract:: Fluorescent dye was used to assess summer low flow hydraulic retention and transient storage (dead zone) associated with fish habitat structures at Camp Creek, Drift Creek, and the East Fork of Lobster Creek within the central Coast Range of Oregon. Utilizing channel units to stratify stream reaches, the effect of...

Oregon's wetland regulatory framework : A synthesis of approaches

Creator:: Wirth, Julie A.
Abstract:: This paper will address Oregon's ability to regulate and manage its wetland resources as a means for protecting and enhancing salmon habitat. After identifying the importance of wetland environments the paper will look into OWRF to assess its effectiveness. Ultimately the paper will conclude that OWRF's design is an effective...

Countersunk culvert hydraulics for upstream juvenile fish passage

Creator:: House, Matthew R.
Abstract:: Twenty-one countersunk culverts in Oregon were inventoried to establish baseline information for the stream crossings so that subsequent resurveys can assess the long-term stability and functionality of the culvert design. A subset of the inventoried culverts was selected for detailed hydraulic measurements. The detailed velocity measurements were used to help...

Monitoring Restoration in South Sister Creek : The Effect of Stream Enhancement Structures on Water Temperature

Creator:: Harewood, Alessandra Greer
Abstract:: This pilot study of South Sister Creek (8 km length) examined stream-scale (i.e., longitudinal trends) and sub-reach scale (less than 100 m) water temperature. Hourly summer temperature time-series data were gathered at four to seven locations along South Sister Creek in 2006, 2012, and 2013 and were used to explore...

Where the Stream Meets the Road : Prioritizing Culvert Replacement for Fish Passage

Creator:: Reagan, Rachel E.
Abstract:: Streams across the world are highly fragmented due to the presence of in-stream barriers (e.g., dams and stream-road crossings), many of which restrict or block fish passage. Retrofitting or replacing these structures is a high priority for restoring habitat connectivity for native fishes and other aquatic organisms in the Pacific...
