Creator:: Adamus, Paul R.
Abstract:: This project defined criteria to allow only the use of existing spatial databases (and only those with comprehensive coverage of the ecoregion) to identify the HGM (hydrogeomorphic) class of mapped Willamette Ecoregion wetlands. The project then applied those criteria automatically and systematically to every mapped wetland in the ecoregion, resulting...
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R.
Abstract:: This report and especially the accompanying Detail Files and MapFiles provide relatively detailed information on status, trends, distribution, limiting factors, and conservation needs of all of the Willamette’s wildlife species, listed plants, and vulnerable habitats. Data on habitat suitability for each species is provided by watershed (170 HUC6s), elevation (6...
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R.
Abstract:: This report is intended to provide a foundation for eventually developing one module of the Michigan Rapid Assessment Method (MiRAM). Specifically, it provides information on specific attributes of wetlands that can be used, along with information on species ranges, to help predict the assemblage of wildlife species most likely to...
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R.
Abstract:: This is the second of two new reports sponsored by a consortium of public groups and focusing on the Western Pond Turtle (Emys marmorata marmorata). The first report (Adamus 2003) provided an updated perspective on the distribution of the species in the Willamette River Basin, based on new field surveys,...
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R. and Earth Design Consultants, Inc.
Abstract:: This document provides definitions and a general overview of streams and lakes of San Juan County (SJC) and then describes impacts to these water bodies and strategies for determining widths of buffers that protect their functions. It similarly provides definitions and a general overview of SJC upland (terrestrial) habitats, describes...
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R. and Fralich, Richard
Abstract:: This document partially addresses the Wetlands component of San Juan County’s Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO). Drawing from a foundation in best available science, it describes important functions performed by the County's wetlands, effects of various activities on those functions, and strategies for protecting wetland functions from impacting activities, with an...
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R.
Abstract:: This document partially addresses the Wetlands component of Island County’s Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO). It presents the results of a year-long collaborative project to compile, analyze, and summarize existing data pertinent to Island County wetlands. Similar in concept to the “report card” issued periodically for Puget Sound, this compilation attempts...
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R.
Abstract:: This document is primarily a review of Best Available Science applicable to Island County wetlands, as needed for categorizing wetlands for regulatory actions and determining widths for buffers (setbacks) that protect the functions of wetlands. The number of technical papers and reports published on these topics is enormous, and none...
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R.
Abstract:: We compiled existing data and information to characterize the condition and trends in high priority natural resources in San Juan Island National Historical Park. We identified 37 indicators to evaluate the condition and trend of these resources. For each indicator we attempted to define reference conditions to which we could...
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R.
Abstract:: We compiled existing data and information to characterize the condition and trends in high priority natural resources in Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve (EBLA, or "the Reserve"). We identified 29 indicators to evaluate seven major resource concerns. For each indicator we attempted to define reference conditions to which we could...
