Traditional Environmental Knowledge (TEK) and Cultural Reconstruction: A Practical Application at the Red Bluff Recreation Area, Mendocino National Forest, Grindstone District

Creator:: Riske-Gomez, Jessica
Abstract:: The project location is a pre-historical gathering site for basketry materials utilized by the Wintun people within the boundaries of the Red Bluff Recreation Area. Due to environmental changes and neglect, the site has fallen into disuse and degradation. The aim of this project is ethnoecological restoration, which varies from...

Beaver Herbivory Behavior and its Impact on Habitat Restoration at South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve

Creator:: Marten, Sarah
Abstract:: North American beavers (Castor canadensis) are ecological engineers that improve biodiversity and can improve the health of riparian ecosystems. Beavers are generalist herbivores with some evidence of species preference, utilizing woody material for both food source and dam construction. In the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve, Charleston, Oregon, a...

Is wave energy comparatively sustainable in Oregon?

Creator:: Yin, Yao
Abstract:: This essay provides a snapshot of sustainability and acceptability of wave energy and eight other electricity-generating energy sources in Oregon. Since “sustainability” is an important point of view in decision-making, the paper is centered around the concept. Although there is no consensus on the definition of sustainability in the academic...

Assessment of Water Quality Monitoring in Oregon’s Estuaries : Case Study of a Watershed Council Volunteer Monitoring Program

Creator:: Kolkemo, Emily
Abstract:: This project examined a watershed council sponsored volunteer estuary water quality monitoring program, from initial implementation to program status five years later. In addition, literature research and interviews with estuarine experts were conducted in an attempt to devise strategies to strengthen estuary water quality monitoring programs within the state of...

Testing the correlation between inundation period and coastal wetland productivity in Carex lyngbyei and Distichlis spicata communities, South Slough National Estuarine Reserve, Oregon

Creator:: Gilman, Eric
Abstract:: I tested the hypothesis that there is a correlation between inundation period and net primary production (NPP) in estuarine salt marshes through an observational experiment at South Slough National Estuarine Reserve, Oregon. I estimated primary production and inundation period for selected monotypic plant communities in (1) a naturally restored wetland...

Fishermen in Ocean Observing Research

Creator:: Holmes, Susan
Abstract:: Recent observational programs to understand the coastal ocean, like the Oregon Coastal Ocean Observing System (OrCOOS) are under development (www.orcoos.org). A challenge in facing observing systems is achieving spatial and temporal coverage at scales that are useful for ocean modeling. Observational buoys are relatively few and towed arrays and gliders...

A georeferenced digital image analysis of micro-topographic patterns within the Willamette Floodplain Research Natural Area, W. L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge

Creator:: Anderson, Karen L.
Abstract:: The present day vegetation pattern of the Willamette Valley is a result of a long past of human alteration of the landscape. Beginning with aboriginal burning of the grasslands to present day land uses, the vegetation of the valley has been affected by anthropogenic activity. Wet prairie is a vanishing...

Geographic Information System model rating old-growth stand significance on the Olympic National Forest

Creator:: Wettengel, William M.
Abstract:: With increased attention being focused on the remaining old-growth forest resource in the Pacific Northwest a way to ecologically rate forest stands is needed to assist the U.S. Forest Service in its management decisions. A Geographic Information System (GIS) model was developed to rate old-growth stands in a 49,500 acre...

Resource applications of Geographic Information Systems: the development of the roads layer for the Siuslaw National Forest

Creator:: Cogswell, Megan L.
Abstract:: The U.S. Forest Service has been actively using new information technologies since the formation of the agency. Currently forests are using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for mapping, data storage, modeling, and spatial analysis. The Siuslaw National Forest has an active GIS with many data layers. A project to correct the...

Evaluation of high-altitude color infrared photography for forest inventory

Creator:: Kelley, Thomas H.
Abstract:: High-altitude color infrared photography is found to be an effective tool for forest inventory in the Umpqua National Forest of southwestern Oregon. Intelligent resource management requires the rapid, accurate, and economical inventory results that can be supplied by remote sensing. Color infrared film is shown to possess properties that make...
