Grassland Restoration and Climate Change: Altar Valley, Arizona Case Study

Creator:: Gondor, Anne
Abstract:: The Altar Valley is an important working landscape that supports biodiversity and vulnerable species in Pima County, Arizona (Huckelberry 2000). This semi-desert grassland, alluvial valley and 713,807-acre watershed composed of 39 subbasins serves as an aquifer to a portion of southwestern Tucson. This region of Southern Arizona has been identified...

Climate Change and Management Considerations for the Boreal Forest Zone

Creator:: Habeeb, Gabrielle A.
Abstract:: The boreal forest zone is located in the cool, high latitudes of the earth and represents approximately one third of the world’s remaining forested area. Maintaining the functional capacity of boreal forests is of global importance as they will both affect and be affected by climate change. Boreal forests can...

Assisted Migration in the Colorado Subalpine Forest

Creator:: Najim, Tara
Abstract:: This capstone study reports on global warming-induced changes to the Colorado subalpine zone climate and disturbance regimes. It assesses the impacts of these changes upon the dominant subalpine tree species and summarizes future species distribution modeling for these and other nearby species potentially suitable for the future subalpine zone in...

The use of motor carrier weigh station reports in commodity flow analysis of the Oregon forest products industry - 1976

Creator:: Howes, Edwin R.
Abstract:: Data on motor carrier commodity weights collected in 1976 at Oregon weigh stations by the Public Utilities Commission and the Department of Transportation are not in a form that readily allows for commodity flow analysis. A methodology is presented that reduces existing forest product commodity data into a graphically displayed...

Patterns of water resource decision-making: minimum stream flows in the Willamette Basin

Creator:: Griffith, Glenn Edwin
Abstract:: Oregon's minimum stream flow program is intended to protect certain instream flow values by maintaining sufficient stream flows to support aquatic life and to minimize pollution. The increasing demand for consumptive uses of water, as well as certain deficiencies in the laws, policies, and administration of the program, bring into...

The impacts of mining legacy in a water-scarce South Africa : An environmental security perspective

Creator:: Hanlon, Thomas M.
Abstract:: Given the growing human security implications resulting from the high rates of change in social-ecological systems, the general question motivating this research is: how can the traditional security establishment respond to rising non-traditional threats? This question comes from the ongoing debate of whether military resources should be used in some...

A point-data analysis of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and its relationship to seasonal precipitation in the northwest United States

Creator:: Worley, Timothy J.
Abstract:: El Niflo and La Nifia are oceanographic and atmospheric phenomena that have been catalogued for well over a centuly. In El Nifio years, Peru's otherwise thy west coast is subjected to torrential rainfall. Higher ocean temperatures off the coast are deemed the culprit. Attempts to quantify this began in the...

Soil compaction and disturbance following a thinning of second-growth Douglas-fir with a cut-to-length and a skyline system in the Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Allen, Marganne Mary
Abstract:: Soil bulk density and disturbance were measured before and after a commercial thinning of 3 0-50 year-old Douglas-fir using a cut-to-length (CTL) and a skyline system on the Willamette National Forest in the Oregon Cascades. A dual-probe nuclear densimeter was used to measure bulk density at four and eight inches....

Annotated Bibliography of Research Focused on 1st-3rd Order Pygmy Rabbit (Brachylagus idahoensis) Habitat Selection

Creator:: Jencso, Emily D.
Abstract:: Wildlife managers often use species distribution models (SDMs) as an initial tool in conservation planning. Managers and researchers have made efforts to model the habitat and distribution of pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) across their historic range since the species was proposed for listing under the Endangered Species Act (USFWS 2003)....

Geographic Information System (GIS) resource inventories: the Marys River Project

Creator:: Chapman, Shannen S.
Abstract:: The Greenbelt Land Trust (GLT) (a grass-roots conservation group in Oregon) is interested in a conservation plan for the Marys River Corridor. To facilitate this effort, a resource inventory was required and a Geographic Information System (GIS) data base used to compile the inventory (called the Marys River Project (MRP))....
