Riparian-zone vegetation can influence terrestrial and aquatic food webs through variation in the amount, timing, and nutritional content of leaf and other litter inputs. We investigated how riparianforest community composition, understory density, and lateral slope shaped vertical and lateral litter inputs to 16 streams in the Oregon Coast Range. Riparian...
On behalf of the Board of Forestry (the Board), the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) approached the Oregon University System’s (OUS) Institute for Natural Resources (INR) to conduct an independent, outside review of the body of science ODF considered as it evaluated forest management plans and developed the Species of...

Tropical dry forests are the most threatened forest type in the world yet a paucity of research about them stymies development of appropriate
conservation actions. The Paran~a River Basin has the most significant dry forest formations in the Cerrado biome of central Brazil
and is threatened by intense land conversion...
In surveys of residents in three urban and three rural locations in the Great Basin we examined the social acceptability of six management practices showing promise for restoring sagebrush-dominated rangelands. Unlike most studies of range management perceptions that have relied on single measurements, we used longitudinal data from a questionnaire...
Southwestern US irrigated landscapes are facing
upheaval due to water scarcity and land use conversion associated
with climate change, population growth, and changing
economics. In the traditionally irrigated valleys of northern
New Mexico, these stresses, as well as instances of community
longevity in the face of these stresses, are apparent....

A study to review the status and distribution of vascular plants at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park was initiated in 2009 and completed in 2010 by the Oregon Natural Heritage Information Center at Oregon State University. This study built on previous inventories conducted under the National Park Service‘s Inventory...
