Terrestrial amphibian distribution, habitat associations and downed wood temperature profiles in managed headwater forests with riparian buffers in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Kluber, Matthew R.
Abstract:: Western forests have become increasingly fragmented landscapes dominated by young stands. Given that western Oregon forests largely consist of headwater systems, there is a need to better understand how headwater forest taxa and their habitats are impacted by forest management practices. Several amphibian species associated with forested headwater systems have...

Establishment and growth of natural and planted conifers ten years after overstory thinning and vegetation control in 50-year-old Douglas-fir stands

Creator:: Nabel, Mark R.
Abstract:: Forest managers of public lands in western Oregon and Washington have become increasingly interested in creating additional conifer cohorts in young, even-aged, second-growth Douglas-fir stands. The purpose of our research was to assess the establishment, survival, and growth of naturally-regenerated and underplanted conifers 10-13 years after overstory thinning and understory...

Spatial and temporal patterns of fire in the forests of the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Impara, Peter C.
Abstract:: Fire history and fire regime were interpreted from tree ring analysis of 4320 stumps at 178 sites in a 25 by 55 km area in the central Oregon Coast Range. A total of 27 fire episodes were identified in a 516 year period, with sizes estimated at 18 to 544...

Early Oligocene intrusions in the central Coast Range of Oregon : petrography, geochemistry, geochronology and implications for the Tertiary magmatic evolution of the Cascadia forearc

Creator:: Oxford, Jeremiah
Abstract:: The Early Oligocene Oregon Coast Range Intrusions (OCRI) consist of gabbroic rocks and lesser alkalic intrusive bodies that were emplaced in marine sedimentary units and volcanic sequences within a Tertiary Cascadia forearc basin. The alkalic intrusions include nepheline syenite, camptonite, and alkaline basalt. The gabbros occur as dikes and differentiated...

Riparian litter inputs to streams in the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Hart, Stephanie K.
Abstract:: Riparian zone vegetation can influence terrestrial and aquatic food webs through variations in the amounts, timing, and nutritional content of leaf and other litter inputs. Differences in vegetation composition and density, as well as riparian topography, may modulate the strength and quality of these inputs. Changes in inputs to small...

Soil and hydrologic factors affecting the stability of natural slopes in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Harr, R. Dennis (Robert Dennis), 1941- and Yee, Carlton S.
Abstract:: The work upon which this publication is based was supported by funds provided by the United States Department of the Interior, Office of Water Research and Technology, as authorized under the Water Resources Research Act of 1964 and by the United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Forest...

Habitat use and densities of cavity-nesting birds in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Nelson, S. Kim
Abstract:: I studied abundance patterns and habitat use of eight cavitynesting bird species in the Coast Ranges of Western Oregon during the spring and summer of 1985 and 1986. Three age classes of unmanaged Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands were selected for study: young (40-80 yrs), mature (80-200 yrs), and old-growth (>200...

Silviculture practices for riparian forests in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Emmingham, William H., Chan, Samuel S., Mikowski, Dan, Owston, Peyton W., Bishaw, Badege, and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: This publication is aimed at watershed councils, government agencies, and specialists (foresters, wildlife and fisheries biologists) interested in riparian area silviculture or watershed restoration. It contains information on the ecology of riparian forests and a checklist of recommended practices and common mistakes made in restoring conifers to hardwood-dominated riparian forests....

Functional relationships among vegetation, nocturnal insects, and bats in riparian areas of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Ober, Holly K.
Abstract:: Vegetation provides food for many insects, and many insects serve as food for bats. We investigated the linkages among these three trophic levels in riparian areas throughout the Oregon Coast Range by examining the influence of vegetation cover, composition, and structure on the activity of nocturnal insects and bats, the...

Tree species-soils relationships in old-growth forests of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Cross, Alison
Abstract:: Tree species directly and indirectly affect soil nutrient cycles. I sought to characterize soils and foliage associated with four common canopy tree species (Douglas-fir, western hemlock, western redcedar, and bigleaf maple) in mixed-species old-growth forests of the Oregon Coast Range and to determine whether and how soils differ among the...
