Long-term Fire Effects on Plant Succession and Exotic Weeds in Protected Area Sagebrush Steppe, John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Oregon

Creator:: Reed-Dustin, Claire Marie
Abstract:: The historical function of fire in sagebrush steppe has been altered by 19th century overgrazing, active fire suppression, annual grass invasion and encroachment of woody species. The significance of fire to these systems is known, but research on long-term fire effects are limited. The Sheep Rock management unit of the...

Geographic variation in distribution and cover of principle native and non-native plant species along gradients of topography, climate, and disturbance in protected-area sagebrush steppe communities of the Columbia Plateau

Creator:: Esposito, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The sagebrush steppe ecosystem of the Columbia Plateau has become degraded by a long history of alternative land use and associated perturbations. Protection of remnant stands of intact sagebrush steppe currently relies upon their preservation within the nation's network of parks and protected-areas. The John Day Fossil Beds National Monument,...

Risk and Reward Perception and Risk-Taking: Applicability, Relationship, and Implication in Construction Safety

Creator:: Azeez, Mohammed N.
Abstract:: While safety improvements have been made in the construction industry, construction still experiences one of the highest numbers of fatalities annually compared to other industries in the United States with over 970 fatalities in 2016 alone. This number of fatalities drives researchers and safety managers to improve safety measures and...

Restructuring of land and community in the remote rural west : the case of Wallowa County, Oregon

Creator:: Abrams, Jesse
Abstract:: Since at least the 1970s, rural areas in the western United States, as elsewhere across the country and world, have been subject to social, economic, and political forces that have resulted in novel demographic and land tenure trends when compared to previous decades. Collectively, these processes of restructuring have created...

Evaluation of instream flow restoration targets and the carrying capacity of Oncorhynchus mykiss according to temperature, Whychus Creek, Deschutes Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Jones, Lesley M.
Abstract:: The Pelton Round Butte Hydroelectric Project (Oregon) was built between 1957 and 1964. As a result the anadromous steelhead trout was extirpated from the upper Deschutes Basin by 1968. The Deschutes Basin is a model for instream flow restoration projects in the Pacific Northwest that are largely driven by the...

Non-Isotropic Fiber Reinforced Elastic Membranes for Micro Aerial Vehicle Wings

Creator:: Wilcox, Joshua Robert
Abstract:: Micro air vehicles (MAV's) and small unmanned aerial vehicles (SUAV) are remotely piloted or autonomous aircraft with a take-off mass range between 50 g and few kilograms. These vehicles, as well as natural fliers such as bats and insects, utilize a variety of elastic wing structures including thin membranes. Over...

Use of MIKE SHE for estimation of evapotranspiration in the Sprague River Basin

Creator:: Shakya, Suva R.
Abstract:: MIKE SHE is a fully distributed, physically-based hydrologic model that can simulate water movement over and under the Earth's surface. Evapotranspiration (ET) is one of the components of this model. MIKE SHE uses a modification of the Kristensen -Jensen (1975) method to calculate actual ET. This method is based on...

Reallocating resources, rebuilding community : the Klamath Basin agreements and the emergence of adaptive governance

Creator:: Chaffin, Brian C.
Abstract:: The concept of "adaptive governance" represents a spectrum of hybrid approaches to environmental governance employed to guide management of complex social-ecological systems under conditions of high uncertainty. While the concept of adaptive governance has benefited from over a decade of theoretical development, empirical examples of transitions towards adaptive governance are...
