Assessing cumulative influences of watershed-scale landuses on reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) abundance

Creator:: Inahara, Satomi
Abstract:: The West Eugene Wetlands, Eugene, Oregon, which provide habitat for number of endemic and endangered plant species, are currently threatened by a Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) invasion. This study addresses the hypothesis that Phalaris spread can be explained in part by using watershed-scale landuse patterns as surrogates of the...

Make it Rain : A Lagrangian Approach to Investigate Land Surface Controls on Moisture Recycling in the Columbia River Basin

Creator:: Tai, Leah Chung-Mei
Abstract:: Linkages between land use and its influence on the atmosphere have been a long-standing research area. For example, what is the impact of irrigated agriculture on downwind rainfall? Global-scale models show that moisture recycling is an important source of water for inland regions around the world, but they do not...

Land use and nonpoint source phosphorus pollution in the Dairy-McKay hydrologic unit area of the Tualatin River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Wolf, Donald W.
Abstract:: Human activities may contribute to the eutrophication of surface waters by providing nutrients to aquatic ecosystems. Phosphorus is frequently identified as a nutrient that is limiting to most aquatic ecosystems under natural conditions. Sources of phosphorus contributing to eutrophic conditions often include nonpoint sources that are dispersed across the landscape....

Seasonal relationships between dissolved nitrogen and landuse/landcover and soil drainage at multiple spatial scales in the Calapooia Watershed, Oregon

Creator:: Floyd, William C.
Abstract:: The Calapooia River, a major tributary of the Willamette River in western Oregon, is a watershed typical of many found in the Willamette Basin. Public and private forested lands occur in the steep Upper Zone of the watershed, mixed forest and agriculture lands are found in the Middle Zone, and...

Detecting changes in a wetland : using multi-spectral and temporal Landsat in the Upper Noun Valley Drainage Basin-Cameroon

Creator:: Ndzeidze, Stephen Koghan
Abstract:: Since the early 1980s, satellite imagery has been commonly used to detect change in wetlands. The overall objective of this study is to utilize remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to determine the extent of change of the wetland area and of other land use and land cover...

Dissolved nitrogen in surface waters and nitrogen mineralization in riparian soils within a multi-land use basin

Creator:: Evans, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The growing population of Oregon’s Willamette River Basin places an increasing demand on the basin’s surface waters. Watershed-scale research addressing spatial trends of dissolved nitrogen (DN) and its relationship with landuse and soil N dynamics, such as N mineralization, is sparse in the Willamette Basin. I measured DN along 124...

Stream DOC, nitrate, chloride and SUVA response to land use during winter baseflow conditions in sub-basins of the Willamette River Basin, OR

Creator:: Frentress, Jay
Abstract:: To better understand the impact of land use on stream nutrient export, a synoptic sampling of 57 sub-basins within the Willamette River basin was conducted during winter baseflow conditions (February 2009). I assessed whether stream dissolved organic carbon (DOC), NO₃⁻ and Cl⁻ and specific ultra-violet absorbance (SUVA) values were correlated...

Historical changes in anadromous fish habitat in the Upper Grande Ronde River, Oregon, 1941-1990

Creator:: McIntosh, Bruce A.
Abstract:: The U.S. Bureau of Fisheries (now National Marine Fisheries Service) conducted stream habitat surveys in the Upper Grande Ronde River Basin in 1941. This survey was part of an extensive inventory of stream habitat conditions for anadromous salmonids (Oncorhynchus spp.) throughout the Columbia River Basin. The survey systematically inventoried 158...

A spatially explicit method for determining the effects of watershed scale land use on stream conditions

Creator:: Kehmeier, Jonathan W.
Abstract:: The primary goal of this research was to identify the impacts that individual agricultural land uses have on fish communities in small streams located in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon. The diverse nature of the land use features of the valley provided a challenging but useful system for the...
