Small mammal micro- and macrohabitat selection in streamside ecosystems

Creator:: Doyle, Arlene T.
Abstract:: During summer and fall of 1981 to 1983, mark-recapture was conducted in riparian and upland habitats within old-growth and mature forests in the Cascade Range of Oregon. Number of individuals and species richness were greater in riparian than upland habitat. For most species, the mean adult weights and the percentages...

Application of nonequilibrium ecology to managed riparian ecosystems

Creator:: Stringham, Tamzen K.
Abstract:: Seasonal trends in water table level and soil moisture for four plant community types within an irrigated eastern Oregon riparian zone were described. Aboveground biomass, species composition, litter, percent bareground and percent basal cover of key plant species and life forms were measured. The relationship between water table levels and...

Soil conditions along a hydrologic gradient and successional dynamics in a grazed and ungrazed montane riparian ecosystem

Relations among hydrology, soils, and vegetation in riparian meadows : influence on organic matter distribution and storage

Creator:: Dwire, Kathleen A.
Abstract:: Organic matter dynamics in riparian ecosystems are largely driven by interactions among hydrology, soil, and vegetation. In two riparian meadows, northeast Oregon, I examined the hypothesis that vegetation and soil characteristics in three plant communities - defined as wet, moist, and dry meadow - were strongly influenced by hydrological and...

Multiscale controls on woody riparian vegetation : distribution, diversity, and tree regeneration in four western Oregon watersheds

Creator:: Sarr, Daniel Allen
Abstract:: I studied riparian forests of four western Oregon watersheds (dry south to wet north) to determine the multiscale controls on woody riparian vegetation. I conducted separate analyses of controls on plant distribution, diversity, and tree regeneration using vegetation and environmental data collected in two related field studies: (1) a multiscale...

Modeling riparian zone processes : biomass production and grazing

Creator:: Korpela, Edwin J.
Abstract:: Seasonal trends in forage production and environmental parameters for five plant community types within a northeastern Oregon riparian zone were described and modeled using correlation and path analysis. Wet meadows produced the greatest amount of herbage biomass, followed by moist bluegrass meadows, gravel bars, forests and dry bluegrass meadows. Trends...

Influences of riparian canopy on aquatic communities in high desert streams of eastern Oregon

Creator:: Tait, Cynthia K.
Abstract:: Because riparian canopy controls most energy inputs to stream ecosystems, it directly affects the structure of aquatic food webs and the ecological processes that govern interactions among trophic levels. This study addresses the interdependence among riparian canopy, benthic community structure, and the carrying capacity of high desert streams for salmonid...

Post-eruption recovery and secondary production of grazing insects in two streams near Mt. St. Helens

Creator:: Meyerhoff, Richard Dietrich
Abstract:: The eruption of Mt. St. Helens provided the opportunity to study secondary production of grazing insects in the context of disturbance. Two stream sites were chosen that significantly differed in how their watersheds were impacted by the eruption. Clearwater Creek was catastrophically disturbed (physical alteration of habitat, loss of riparian...

A simulation model of wood dynamics in Pacific Northwest streams

Creator:: Meleason, Mark Alan
Abstract:: Conceptually, the dynamics of wood in streams can be viewed in terms of input and in-channel processes. Input processes are associated with both the riparian (tree fall, bank cutting, windthrow) and upslope forests (mass failures). In-channel processes include log breakage, movement, and decomposition. A mechanistic view of these processes is...
