Ecological Consequences of Marine Debris: Understanding Large-Scale Species Transport on Tsunami Debris and Research Priorities in Oregon

Creator:: Gillman, Reva A.
Abstract:: The release of marine debris into the oceans and seas is a global issue of growing concern. These materials are harmful to marine environments and can also transport non-native species to novel habitats. Non-native species floating on marine litter is one of the lesser known impacts associated with marine debris....

Early Childhood Teachers’ Relationships with Families When Children Experience Adversity

Creator:: Lewis, Hillary R., Lipscomb, Shannon T., Hatfield, Bridget E., Jäderholm, Christina M., and Tominey, Shauna L.
Abstract:: Quality relationships among families and teachers in early care and education (ECE) hold promise to nurture resilience among children impacted by adversity. However, little is known about how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may also affect the interactions between families and teachers. This study uses quantitative survey data from families (N...

Identifying Opportunities for Collaboration in Resilience-Based Management: Coordinating Rancher and Land Manager Incentives

Creator:: Maher, Anna T.
Abstract:: Resilience-based management in rangelands implies maintaining desirable ecological states and avoiding thresholds to less desirable ones; however, the efficacy of resilience-based management depends upon several driving forces. These forces include management by those who depend upon rangelands for their livelihoods, the current state of ecological health of rangelands, and changing...

Business decisions for voluntary environmental management : Motivations, actions, and outcomes

Creator:: Hall, Teresa M.
Abstract:: This study develops theoretical and empirical models to analyze the motivations and outcomes of Oregon business decisions for voluntary environmental management. More specifically, the following issues are explored in this study: What motivates a facility to over-comply with environmental regulations? Why does a facility adopt an environmental management plan (EMP)?...

'Hysterical preservationists' and 'gouge-and-run bulldozer boys' : the land-use controversy in Idaho’s White Cloud Mountains, 1968-1972

Creator:: Jensen, Erica (Erica Lyn)
Abstract:: Similar to other spectacular scenic areas in the American West, Idaho’s White Cloud Mountains have been a contested landscape since the beginning of the 20th century. Although, legislation was introduced in Congress as early as 1913 to protect the towering mountains of south-central Idaho as a national park, the issue...

Environmental Remote Sensing with Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Creator:: Burnett, Jonathan D.
Abstract:: Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUASs) equipped with optical sensors are capableof remotely sensing landscapes and wildlife at spatial and temporal resolutions that werepreviously inaccessible due to technical and budgetary limitations. Conventional remotesensing and photogrammetric workflows can be applied to the resulting high resolution imageryto facilitate new types of scientific inquiry....

Environmental Stressors Influence Fabaceae Seedling Development

Creator:: Gerber, Kaitlin A.
Abstract:: Sites in need of restoration typically have one or more environmental factors that limit seedling establishment; identifying ecophysiological responses to environmental stressors can be advantageous in growing seedlings able to overcome such constraints on survival. To maximize survival after outplanting, seedlings should be grown in a manner that considers both...
