Comparison of stand development of a deciduous-dominated riparian forest and a coniferous-dominated riparian forest in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

Poage, Nathan Jeremy

Abstract:

Riparian forests in the central Oregon Coast Range vary along a coniferous-deciduous compositional continuum. Variations in structure and composition affect water quality, fish and wildlife, biodiversity, timber, and aesthetics. A retrospective approach was taken in this study in order to understand and compare the structure, pattern, and history of an...

A physical and chemical characterization of stream water draining three Oregon Coast Range catchments

Creator:

Hale, V. Cody

Abstract:

Few studies have examined both long-term and fine-scale spatial variations in water quality of small streams in the Pacific Northwest. As such, a case study was conducted to determine if current physical and chemical properties of water in three streams located in the Oregon Coast Range differed from historically measured...

Biologic activity in two western Oregon Douglas-fir stands : a research link to management

Creator:

Hope, Sharon Margaret

Abstract:

Information about forest substrate respiration, nitrogenase activity and mineralizable nitrogen may be incorporated into carbon and nitrogen budgets that comprise an important element of forest management planning. In this study, substrate respiration, nitrogenase activity and mineralizable nitrogen were measured in two western Oregon Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] stands within...
