Plant communities and elevation in the diked portion of Joe Ney Slough : a baseline assessment of a marsh restoration project in Coos Bay, Oregon

Creator:

Taylor, Alan H.

Abstract:

The need to preserve Oregon's estuaries has been expressed through the Land Conservation and Development Commission's Estuarine Resources Goal 16. The first use of the mitigation guideline set forth in this goal is in the Coos Bay estuary. The proposed North Bend Airport runway extension will fill 32 acres (13...

Salt marsh reestablishment following dike breaching in the Salmon River estuary, Oregon

Creator:

Mitchell, Diane Lynne

Abstract:

A 22 ha, 1S yeas old, diked permanent pasture in the Salmon River estuary in Lincoln County, Oregon, was chosen for a study to determine the potential for natural salt marsh restoration with dike breaching. Two undiked fragments of relatively undisturbed salt marsh, one at each end of the study...

Where's the ground surface? Elevation bias in LIDAR-derived digital elevation models due to dense vegetation in Oregon tidal marshes

Creator:

Ewald, Michael J.

Abstract:

Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) is a powerful resource for coastal and wetland managers and its use is increasing. Vegetation density and other land cover characteristics influence the accuracy of LIDAR-derived ground surface digital elevation models; however, the degree to which wetland land cover biases LIDAR estimates of the ground...
