Creator:: Palotay, Joshua A.
Abstract:: An experimental environmental uptake model was developed for the purpose of estimating the final harvest concentration of contaminant following an acute accidental release of radiocesium onto an eastern Oregon winter wheat crop. The system was developed using the PATHWAY environmental uptake model as presented by Whicker and Kirchner (1987) for...

Creator:: Vogler, Kevin C.
Abstract:: Wildfire exclusion over the past century or more has resulted in extensive fuel accumulations throughout much of the West that combined with recent climatic patterns have increased the frequency of relatively uncommon, large, high-severity wildfires. Forest restoration treatments intended to alter landscape-level fire disturbance patterns can be difficult to implement...

Creator:: Maher, Anna T.
Abstract:: The relative success of restoration practices on cheatgrass infested sagebrush steppe lands in the Great Basin can affect the probability of crossing an ecological threshold and have economic effects on cattle ranches using federal rangelands. Cheatgrass invasion implies an increase in the risk of fire, which in turn increases the...

Creator:: McCaulou, Jeff C.
Abstract:: Central Oregon has attracted attention as a potential location for a biomass industry based on a locally fixed source of western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis Hook) feedstock. This study identifies a supply of juniper from private lands to determine how much of the available juniper is economically supplied at alternative prices...
