Riparian and wetland vegetation of central and eastern Oregon

Creator:: Crowe, Elizabeth A. (Elizabeth Ann), 1963-, Kovalchik, Bernard L., Kerr, Marie Jeannette James, 1968-, Oregon Natural Heritage Information Center, and Institute for Natural Resources
Abstract:: The structure and components of riparian areas influence the rate, amount, and timing of water, nutrients, organic debris, and inorganic materials that enter streams and rivers. The energy of floodwaters and their ultimate volume, timing and erosive power is influenced by the soils, vegetation and geomorphology of fluvial surfaces within...

Coarse woody debris in streams of the Drift Creek Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Veldhuisen, Curt N.
Abstract:: This study examined the occurrence of coarse woody debris (i.e., pieces greater than 0.15 m in diameter and 2.0 m in length) in first- through fifth-order streams located within the Drift Creek Basin of the Oregon Coast Range. Nine "tributary reaches" were surveyed to determine how three land management treatments...

Evaluating the restoration potential of black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) from multiple scales of observation, Grande Ronde River Basin, Oregon, USA

Creator:: Hines, Cynthia A.
Abstract:: As a key factor contributing to slope stability, in-stream habitat for aquatic species (e.g., salmonids), nutrient cycling, and corridors for upland species, riparian vegetation and its maintenance is of critical conservation importance. Subsequently, the chronic degradation of aquatic and riparian ecosystems in the semi-arid and arid landscapes of the western...

A characterization of unmanaged riparian overstories in the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Nierenberg, Tara R.
Abstract:: Riparian areas that can be used as reference sites on which to base goals of vegetation restoration have not been documented in the Oregon Coast Range. I examined the composition and distribution of unmanaged riparian overstories in the central Oregon Coast Range along nine streams which have experienced minimal disturbance...

Relations among hydrology, soils, and vegetation in riparian meadows : influence on organic matter distribution and storage

Creator:: Dwire, Kathleen A.
Abstract:: Organic matter dynamics in riparian ecosystems are largely driven by interactions among hydrology, soil, and vegetation. In two riparian meadows, northeast Oregon, I examined the hypothesis that vegetation and soil characteristics in three plant communities - defined as wet, moist, and dry meadow - were strongly influenced by hydrological and...

Riparian vegetation and abundance of woody debris in streams of southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Ursitti, Victoria L.
Abstract:: Riparian vegetation (trees > 10 cm dbh), woody debris (> 10 cm diam, > 1 m long), channel, and landform characteristics were inventoried in mature (80-150 yrs) and old-growth riparian areas (>250 yrs) selected from small tributaries of the Coos and Coquille River basins in southwestern Oregon. Basal area of...

Multiscale controls on woody riparian vegetation : distribution, diversity, and tree regeneration in four western Oregon watersheds

Creator:: Sarr, Daniel Allen
Abstract:: I studied riparian forests of four western Oregon watersheds (dry south to wet north) to determine the multiscale controls on woody riparian vegetation. I conducted separate analyses of controls on plant distribution, diversity, and tree regeneration using vegetation and environmental data collected in two related field studies: (1) a multiscale...

Modeling riparian zone processes : biomass production and grazing

Creator:: Korpela, Edwin J.
Abstract:: Seasonal trends in forage production and environmental parameters for five plant community types within a northeastern Oregon riparian zone were described and modeled using correlation and path analysis. Wet meadows produced the greatest amount of herbage biomass, followed by moist bluegrass meadows, gravel bars, forests and dry bluegrass meadows. Trends...

Life on the edge: improving riparian function

Creator:: Oregon State University. Extension Service and Godwin, Derek
Abstract:: Discusses what land use practices can impact riparian areas and the techniques landowners, volunteers, and professional resource managers can use to improve and protect riparian function.
