Citizen perspectives on hazardous fuel reduction in the Blue Mountains : findings and implications from panel research

Creator:: Toman, Eric Lee
Abstract:: Forests in the Blue Mountains region of eastern Oregon and Washington are facing a large-scale forest health crisis. Poor forest conditions have greatly increased the risk of catastrophic wildfire. Resource managers in the Wallowa-Whitman, Umatilla, and Malheur National Forests are utilizing prescribed fire and mechanized thinning treatments to reduce hazardous...

Forest road hydrology : the influence of forest roads on stream flow at stream crossings

Creator:: Toman, Elizabeth Myers
Abstract:: The management of existing forest road systems is an issue of growing importance and public debate. Roads can alter the hydrologic processes in a watershed especially at stream crossing culverts where road ditches channel runoff directly into the stream. The objective of this study was to determine how surface runoff...

Influence of limited access roads on Roosevelt elk in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Cole, Eric K.
Abstract:: No studies have evaluated the effects of limited vehicle access on movements, survival and habitat use of Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) . We installed twenty gates, restricting motorized vehicle access by the public in seven discrete Road Management Areas (RMAs), comprising 35% of the study area. We radio-tracked 31...

Public perceptions of smoke from wildfire, prescribed fire, and fire use

Creator:: Frederick, Stacey Sargent
Abstract:: Managers and policy-makers across broad disciplines and organizations are calling for a better understanding of public opinion on natural resource issues. One such issue is that of fire and its role in the management of our forests and rangelands. Public perceptions of fuel reduction techniques, with a particular emphasis on...

Public acceptance of disturbance-based forest management : a study of the attentive public in the Central Cascades Adaptive Management Area

Creator:: Mallon, Angela L.
Abstract:: Growing emphasis on ecosystem and landscape-level forest management across North America has spurred an examination of alternative management strategies which focus on emulating dynamic natural disturbance processes, particularly those associated with forest fire regimes. This topic is the cornerstone of research in the Blue River Landscape Study (BRLS) taking place...

Social Acceptance of Landscape-Scale Restoration : Treatment of Riparian Areas in the Lower Joseph Creek Watershed, Oregon.

Creator:: Kohler, Gabriel E.
Abstract:: Managing riparian areas in the dry forests of the intermountain west for diverse public values can create conflict, potentially limiting social acceptance in landscape-scale restoration projects. This thesis examined accelerated landscape-scale restoration as part of a broader shift toward ecosystem management on national forestland, which incorporates social values into forest...

Tethering and Biochar: Two Emergent Technologies with Implications for Fuels Treatments on Federal Forest Lands

Creator:: Petitmermet, Joshua H.
Abstract:: Two manuscripts are presented, each examining the potential impacts of emerging technologies on the economic feasibility of fuels reduction treatments on federal forest lands. Both manuscripts were prepared as part of the larger effort funded by the Institute for Working Forest Landscapes under the “Opportunities for biochar production to reduce...

Emergency fire rehabilitation of BLM lands in the Great Basin : revegetation & monitoring

Creator:: McArthur, Ted O.
Abstract:: The Bureau of Land Managements (BLM) Emergency Fire Rehabilitation (EFR) policy was developed in 1985 to encourage protection of sites from soil erosion and to minimize potential changes in vegetation communities that may result from the dominance of weedy species. To achieve the goals of EFR policy, managers often used...

Quantifying the impacts of riparian cattle grazing at Soap Creek Ranch near Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: McArthur, Cynthia
Abstract:: A documented case history of riparian grazing at Oregon State University's Soap Creek Ranch was conducted from 1999 to 2001. Impacts of four different riparian grazing treatments were evaluated. Emphasis was placed on investigating the relationship between riparian cattle use and water quality. Through a series of carefully designed and...

Professional Development Training in Ocean Acidification: A Case Study of Marine Resource Managers

Creator:: Moses, Michael L.
Abstract:: Ocean acidification (OA) is the result of increasing concentrations of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, leading to a suite of alterations to specific parameters of ocean chemistry, which can negatively impact many marine organisms and ecosystems. Understanding how to measure and monitor the chemistry of OA will require specialized education...
