The influence of contemporary forest harvesting on summer stream temperatures in headwater streams of Hinkle Creek, Oregon

Creator:

Kibler, Kelly Maren

Abstract:

Stream temperature is a water quality parameter that directly influences the quality of aquatic habitat, particularly for cold-water species such as Pacific salmonids. Forest harvesting adjacent to a stream can increase the amount of solar radiation the stream receives, which can elevate stream temperatures and impair aquatic habitat. Oregon Forest...

Validation of elk distribution models at Sled Springs Wildlife Demonstration Area, northeast Oregon

Creator:

Coe, Priscilla K.

Abstract:

Landscape models for elk distribution developed at Starkey Experimental Forest and Range from 1993-1995 were tested on another landscape during 2003-2005 at Sled Springs Wildlife Demonstration Area. Using location data obtained from 23 wild elk captured and fitted with GPS telemetry collars, 8 spatial resource selection function models representing 8...

Use of nondestructive spectroscopy to assess chlorophyll and nitrogen in fresh leaves

Creator:

Ding, Pinghai

Abstract:

Four aspects of factors influencing the accuracy of nondestructive chlorophyll (Chl) and nitrogen (N) measurement in fresh leaves were studied: (1) optimum wavelength (OW) identification; (2) indices development and evaluation; (3) influence of leaf properties; and (4) influence of meter parameters and sampling technique. Results were used to develop indices...
