Assessment of the accuracy of forested classifications within two broad-scale remotely-sensed vegetation databases in eastern Oregon

Creator:: Langhoff, Cory A.
Abstract:: An accuracy assessment of two broad-scale vegetation databases for eastern Oregon, both developed from satellite imagery, was performed to assess the usefulness of the databases for forest landscape planning and assessment efforts. The two databases were the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) vegetation database and the U.S. Geological Survey National...

Riparian canopy and channel response to hillslope disturbance in Elk River Basin, southwest Oregon

Creator:: Ryan-Burkett, Sandra E.
Abstract:: Elk River is a sixth order stream, draining a 200 square kilometer basin in the Klainath Mountain province of southwestern Oregon. Timber harvesting began in the basin during the 1950's, with peak removal of wood occurring in the mid to late 1960's. This activity lead to an increase in the...

A comparative study of Oregon and New Zealand as tourist destinations : tourism resources, perceptions, and travel patterns

Creator:: Oppermann, Martin
Abstract:: Tourism has become an important factor in Oregon's and New Zealand's economies. Both destinations are trying to attract even more tourists. However, many other destinations are also competing for a bigger share of the tourism market. Tourism itself is a multi-faceted phenomenon and the travel destination decision is of some...

Thirty-five years of forest succession in southwest Oregon : vegetation response to three distinct logging treatments

Creator:: Arthur, Aaron Stone
Abstract:: This study examined patterns and controls on 35-years of forest succession following logging in the 236 ha South Umpqua Experimental Forest within the Umpqua National Forest in southwestern Oregon. Prior to logging, the overstory in all three watersheds (~50% cover) was composed of Douglas-fir (30-40% cover), grand fir (2 to...

Bus accessibility for persons with sensory disabilities

Creator:: Hron, Martha
Abstract:: With the passage of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) it has become a civil rights violation to deny access to persons with disabilities to public transportation. The ADA requires transit agencies to provide accessible buses or equivalent services to persons with mobility, sensory or cognitive impairments. This study examines...

Long-term effects of tillage, nitrogen, and rainfall on winter wheat yields

Creator:: Camara, Kelli Marie
Abstract:: Winter wheat is commonly grown in dryland cropping systems in the Pacific Northwest region of semi-arid eastern Oregon. For agronomic, economic, and environmental reasons, it is important to understand the long-term sustainability of such dryland systems. The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term effects of tillage, nitrogen...

Little houses on the prairie : a predictive model of French-Canadian settlement in Oregon's Willamette Valley

Creator:: Kinoshita, Jun R.
Abstract:: Using GIS, this study creates a predictive model of a distinct population of French-Canadian settlers, highlighting shared environmental characteristics of known sites that may have factored into their decision-making process as they chose locations for their farmsteads. While traditional historic and archaeological research has been conducted on French Prairie, the...

The changing glaciers of Mt. Hood, Oregon and Mt. Rainier, Washington : implications for periglacial debris flows

Creator:: Ellinger, Jonathan R.
Abstract:: Mountain glaciers are receding worldwide with numerous consequences including changing hydrology and geomorphology. This study focuses on changes in glacier area on Mt. Hood, Oregon and Mt. Rainier, Washington where damaging debris flows have occurred in glaciated basins. Landsat imagery is used to map debris-free ice on a decadal time...

Modeling slope stability uncertainty : a case study at the Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:: Murillo, Michelle L.
Abstract:: A simple debris-slide model, employing a digital elevation model (DEM) and geological data, was used in a geographic information system (GIS) to map slope stability in the Andrews Experimental Forest, located in the western Cascade Range in Oregon, USA. To evaluate the contribution of error in elevation to the uncertainty...

Bird-habitat relationships at multiple spatial resolutions in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Brooks, Jonathan P.
Abstract:: I analyzed the relationship between avian abundance and landscape structure at five spatial resolutions for 30 subbasins in the central Oregon Coast Range using remotely sensed data and a geographic information system (GIS). I developed maps of forest successional stages from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data at a spatial resolution...
