Creator:: Daly, Christopher, Smith, Joseph I., and Olson, Keith V.
Abstract:: Spatial climate datasets of 1981–2010 long-term mean monthly average dew point and minimum and maximum vapor pressure deficit were developed for the conterminous United States at 30-arcsec (~800m) resolution. Interpolation of long-term averages (twelve monthly values per variable) was performed using PRISM (Parameter-elevation Relationships on Independent Slopes Model). Surface stations...

A catchment-scale assessment of stream temperature response to contemporary forest harvesting in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Kevin Bladon, Nicholas Cook, Jeffery Light, and Catalina Segura
Abstract:: Historical forest harvesting practices were reviewed in the original Alsea Watershed Study where they found increased energy loading to the stream and produced higher stream temperatures. This was an important early research site that led to the development of contemporary forest management practices to protect water quality and fish habitat...

Creator:: Bladon, Kevin, Cook, Nicholas, Light, Jeffery, Segura, Catalina, Skaugset, Arne, Hale, Cody, Leer, David, Garland, Tina, Simmons, Amy, Irving, Alex, Ice, George G., Danehy, Robert, Bousquet, Terry, Cook, Diana, Napack, Jan, Campbell, David, Louch, Jeff, Stednick, John, and Menk, Matthew
Abstract:: These data contain temperature readings from dataloggers launched in Deer Creek, Flynn Creek, and Needle Branch from 2006 to 2010. These loggers were apart of the Alsea Watershed Revisisted Study Revisited articles, but the data was incomplete due to logging gaps, temperature spikes, or other issues. The "Thermistor Functionality" datasets...

Alsea Watershed Study 1959-1972

Creator:: Souder, Jon
Abstract:: To investigate the effects of logging, three small watersheds in the Alsea River basin on the west slope of the Oregon Coast Range were selected for study. This was an interdisciplinary investigation to evaluate the influence of specific logging methods on stream regimen and on aquatic resources. The study plan...

Environmental limitation mapping of potential biomass resources across the conterminous United States

Creator:: Daly, Christopher, Halbleib, Michael D., Hannaway, David B., and Eaton, Laurence M.
Abstract:: Several crops have recently been identified as potential dedicated bioenergy feedstocks for the production of power, fuels, and bioproducts. Despite being identified as early as the 1980s, no systematic work has been undertaken to characterize the spatial distribution of their long-term production potentials in the United states. Such information is...

The Willamette Valley (Oregon) Prairie Plant Trait Dataset

Creator:: Clark, Deborah and Wilson, Mark V.
Abstract:: The Willamette Valley (Oregon) Prairie Plant Trait Dataset is a compilation of plant traits of species important in upland prairies, wetland prairies, vernal pools, and emergent wetlands, and in the restoration of prairies and wetlands of the Willamette Valley of Oregon. These species are also found widely throughout the Pacific...

The Power of Three: Coral Reefs, Seagrasses and Mangroves Protect Coastal Regions and Increase Their Resilience

Creator:: Guannel, Greg, Arkema, Katie, Ruggiero, Peter, and Verutes, Gregory
Abstract:: Natural habitats have the ability to protect coastal communities against the impacts of waves and storms, yet it is unclear how different habitats complement each other to reduce those impacts. Here, we investigate the individual and combined coastal protection services supplied by live corals on reefs, seagrass meadows, and mangrove...

Coastal protection and conservation on sandy beaches and dunes : Context-dependent tradeoffs in ecosystem service supply

Creator:: Ruggiero, Peter, Seabloom, Eric W., Hacker, Sally D., Biel, Reuben G., and Cohn, Nicholas
Abstract:: Managing multiple ecosystem services (ESs) across landscapes presents a central challenge for ecosystem-based management, because services often exhibit spatiotemporal variation and weak associations with co-occurring ESs. Further focus on the mechanistic relationships among ESs and their underlying biophysical processes provides greater insight into the causes of variation and covariation among...

Creator:: Watt, Abby J., Fischer, Dylan G., Antos, Joseph A., and Zobel, Donald B.
Abstract:: Ecological impacts of climate change in the Pacific Northwest may hinge on acclimation to drier summers, highlighting the importance of plant physiological studies in forests. Evaluating dominant forest plant species under old-growth and managed forest conditions is similarly important as timber harvest might change microclimates and alter drought effects on...

An auction mechanism for the optimal provision of ecosystem services under climate change

Creator:: Lewis, David J. and Polasky, Stephen
Abstract:: The provision of many ecosystem services depends on the spatial pattern of land use across multiple landowners.
