The street tree problem for the Pacific Northwest

Creator:

Neill, John Wesley

Abstract:

A regional analysis of the street tree problem has been undertaken in order to evolve a system of tree classification which would be useful to city planners, arborists, and landscape architects who have the responsibility of selecting trees to fulfill their design requirements for the city street. Three lines of...

Abstract:

This dissertation focuses on science relevant to the design and implementation of marine reserves. The chapters explore a range of topics related to among-site variation in population, community, and ecosystem dynamics. My results demonstrate the value and feasibility of integrating this knowledge into more comprehensive conservation and management approaches. While...

An assessment of community-based adaptive watershed management in three Umpqua Basin Watersheds

Creator:

Abstract:

The dissertation introduces community-based adaptive watershed management (CAWM) as a holistic conservation framework. The CAWM framework integrates social and ecological suitability to achieve conservation outcomes. The core theoretical concepts consist of adaptive management, adoption-diffusion, symbolic interactionism, community-based conservation, spatial analysis and watershed management. The CAWM framework is applied to the...

A geographical framework for assessing longitudinal patterns in stream habitat and fish distribution

Creator:

Torgersen, Christian E.

Abstract:

New approaches are needed to quantify and understand spatial patterns of stream fishes and their environment. Concepts in riverine ecology emphasize the importance of thermal zones and gradual longitudinal changes in physical habitat and biota, but little is known about spatial variability within the river continuum. I present a conceptual...

A calculation of flushing times and pollution distribution for the Columbia River estuary

Creator:

Neal, Victor Thomas

Abstract:

The probable pollution distribution and flushing times have been calculated for the Columbia River Estuary, a coastal plain estuary. The pollution distribution was determined by the fresh water fraction and by the diffusion equation. The flushing times were calculated by the modified tidal prism method and by the fraction of...

Crustal structures and tectonism in southeastern Alaska and western British Columbia from seismic refraction, seismic reflection, gravity, magnetic, and microearthquake measurements

Creator:

Abstract:

Seismic refraction measurements along two unreversed lines indicate that the earth's crust is 26 km thick in southeastern Alaska and 30 km thick along the Inside Passage of British Columbia. The crust in southeastern Alaska, north of Dixon Entrance, consists of a layer 9 km thick with a seismic velocity...

Sources, dispersal, and contributions of fine-grained terrigenous sediments on the Oregon and Washington continental slope

Creator:

Abstract:

Holocene hemipelagic deposition of terrigenous silts and clays dominates sedimentation on most of the Oregon and Washington continental slope. The sources of these sediments, the mechanisms causing sediment dispersal, and the relative contributions of the various continental sources to the marine deposits have been investigated using quantitative mineral and geochemical...

Abstract:

The Hemigrapsus oregonensis population at Coquille Point in the Yaquina Bay Estuary on the Central Oregon Coast was studied from April, 1972 through May, 1973. The population was found to be vertically stratified from the 1 ft level to the 5 ft level. Population densities were found to be most...

Occult cloudwater deposition to a forest in complex terrain : measurement and interpretation

Creator:

Kowalski, Andrew S.

Abstract:

Occult deposition is the direct uptake of cloudwater by vegetation that comes into physical contact with wind-driven cloud droplets. This can be a significant pathway for hydrological and chemical fluxes from the atmosphere to some forests. Methods for estimating cloudwater fluxes to forests are reviewed. Previous studies have neglected the...

Abstract:

This study examines the relationship between fishing activities of Pacific Northwest albacore fishermen and the availability of albacore. Tactical responses of troll-boat fishermen were compared to changes in daily apparent albacore abundance. Tactical responses included boat aggregation and total applied effort (number of boats) within a particular area, and net...

Impacts of ponderosa pine forest restoration treatments on the ectomycorrhizal fungal community and fine root biomass in the Blue Mountains of Oregon

Creator:

Smith, Jane E. (Jane Elizabeth)

Abstract:

Before the arrival of Euro-Americans, the inland Pacific Northwest was settled by native people whose frequent intentional burning of the landscape promoted open stands dominated by large fire-resistant ponderosa pine. Fire suppression for nearly a century, livestock grazing, and logging of the largest trees has resulted in forests characterized by...

Abstract:

The processes responsible for transporting and depositing thick sections of coarse-grained terrigenous clastics on the abyssal floor and for forming associated sedimentary structures are still conjectural. Many workers attribute coarse deep-sea sediments and their probable lithified equivalent, the graywackes of flysch deposits to some type of density movement. Deductions concerning...

Abstract:

Interest in the distribution of Clostridium botulinum type E was heightened by the sudden outbreak of human botulism from smoked whitefish chubs and canned tuna fish in 1963. The question arose as to how widely the organism is distributed among fish and shellfish in the Northwest and what potential hazard...

A considerable amount of research has focused on load-sharing and system effects in repetitive-member wood floor systems subject to transverse loading. However, relatively few studies have been conducted to investigate load-sharing and system effects in repetitive-member wall systems which may be subject to combined transverse and gravity (vertical) loading, and...
