Web-PST : Web-based Pesticide Screening Tool

Creator:: Manda, Ashwin Prasad
Abstract:: We have developed a web-based software tool for evaluating the potential risk of pesticides on the surrounding environment. The software tool is called Web-based Pesticide Screening Tool (Web-PST). It uses the formulas and standards specified by the Soil/Pesticide Interaction Screening Procedure Version II (SPISP II). Web-PST closely models the stand-alone...

Towards an approach based on resilience for assessing the potential impacts of sea level rise

Creator:: Scalise, Armando Hector
Abstract:: In this paper, I will analyze the nature of these problems and examine how recent approaches to SLRA have dealt with them. In addition, a framework for assessing the potential impacts of sea level rise is proposed, drawing upon the ecological concept of resilience (Holling 1978, 1984).

Stakeholder evaluation of market based approaches towards managing the adverse impacts of commercial fishing on the marine environment

Creator:: Swart, Brycen
Abstract:: Over fishing, by-catch of non-target fish species, marine mammals, seabirds, and damage to benthic habitats remain serious problems in fisheries management. Management methods based on traditional command and control (CAC) approaches may meet with initial successes yet additional progress is often marginal, requiring managers to implement additional regulations to achieve...

Soil compaction on a mechanized timber harvest operation in eastern Oregon

Creator:: Zaborske, Richard R.
Abstract:: The use of mechanized harvest equipment has been increasing as an economical method to harvest small diameter timber. While the use of this equipment is increasing, little is known about associated soil compaction. In particular, little information exists on soil compaction caused by feller--bunchers. This study measured soil compaction caused...

Shovel logging and soil compaction : a case study

Creator:: Floch, Rick F.
Abstract:: Shovel logging is a relatively new ground-based method of yarding tinther. It involves moving logs from stump to landing by successive swinging with a hydraulic excavator modified into a log loader by replacing the shovel bucket with a grapple. Loaders used in shovel yarding can weigh in excess of 100,000...

Mass wasting in forested mountain topography

Creator:: Hu, Su Cherng
Abstract:: As the demands for forest products increase, additional timber harvesting operations can be expected on steep mountainous terrain, The resulting disruption of natural slope stability by man's disturbances (roadbuilding, logging and vegetative manipulation, etc.) may also accelerate mass movement processes in this terrain. Swanston (1969) defines mass movement as ".,...
