A community-based approach for evaluating tradeoffs across marine ecosystem services in Oregon

Creator:: Freeman, Peter M.
Abstract:: As competing uses of our coastlines increase, natural resource agencies are employing marine spatial planning (MSP) to designate areas for different uses or activities in order to reduce conflicts while achieving ecological, economic and social objectives. A central challenge of implementing MSP is development of a rigorous approach for analyzing...

A review of the social component of ecosystem assessments with recommendations for Oregon

Creator:: Armstrong, Catriona M. M.
Abstract:: Large-scale ecosystem assessments aim to assist ecosystem management by synthesizing current scientific knowledge on an area, and by providing a foundation for policy discussions and decisions on land management. These assessments go beyond traditional research efforts by moving away from narrow scope, system, and institutional boundaries, and by attempting to...

Synecological effects of cattle grazing riparian ecosystems

Creator:: Kauffman, John Boone
Abstract:: In 1978, a ten year project was begun to examine the synecological effects of livestock grazing riparian ecosystems. A multitude of biotic arid physical factors, many which were unique to riparian ecosystems, interacted to form a complex and diverse riparian ecosystem. A total of 256 stands of vegetation representing 60...

The Potential of Dynamic Segmentation for Aquatic Ecosystem Management : Pacific Lamprey Decline in the Native Lands of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (Oregon, USA)

Creator:: Palacios, Kelly C.
Abstract:: The Lamprey Eel Decline project conducted by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (CTSI) combined traditional ecological knowledge, scientific research and geographic information science. CTSI wanted to learn why the Pacific lamprey (Lampetra tridentata), a culturally and ecologically important species, was declining in the streams within their native land area....

Water, energy, and ecosystem services : a study of businesses in Oregon's Willamette Valley

Creator:: Hunter, Maria Lewis
Abstract:: This study uses interviews with 18 businesses in Oregon's Willamette Valley to explore business investment in the environment, and how this relates to ecosystem services, payment for ecosystem services programs, and the water-energy nexus. Our research led us to outline 5 factors that influence business investment in the environment, those...

The Oregon Nearshore Research Inventory Project : the importance of science and the scientific research community in marine spatial planning

Creator:: Sherman, Kate
Abstract:: The purpose of Oregon's Nearshore Research Inventory (NRI) project was to inventory and map the current and future use of Oregon's nearshore environment by the scientific research community for use in Oregon's marine spatial planning process. Spatial and qualitative data on the use of Oregon's ocean and coast by the...

The ecology of riparian ecosystems of Northeast Oregon : shrub recovery at Meadow Creek and the structure and biomass of headwater Upper Grande Ronde ecosystems

Creator:: Case, Richard L.
Abstract:: Riparian ecosystems play numerous and essential roles related to the quality and flow of water, and food/habitat for fish, and varieties of wildlife. Due to lateral and linear linkages throughout the landscape, these zones influence the integrity of the terrestrial as well as the entire aquatic-riverine ecosystem. Since Euro-American settlement...

Public knowledge, preferences and involvement in adaptive ecosystem management

Creator:: Williams, Robert Lawrence
Abstract:: Few studies analyze the relationship between ecological knowledge and public preferences for natural resource management options. The Central Cascades Adaptive Management Area (CCAMA) and McKenzie watershed of western Oregon provides an opportunity to examine the relationship. This research project employs a mixed model approach to explore public knowledge of forest...

Applying economic benefit transfer to improve the transfer of ecological estimates in ecosystem services research & policy

Creator:: Errend, Melissa N.
Abstract:: The goal of this thesis is to advance the methodology and thought regarding the transferability of ecological estimates of ecosystem services. Conceptually and in practice, ecological estimate transfer parallels economic benefit transfer in ecosystem services research and policy, yet the literature for benefit transfer predates ecological estimate transfer by several...
