The effect of riparian buffer strips on salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) community structure in alder stands of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Froyd, Cynthia A.
Abstract:: Salmonberry community structure was examined in alder-dominated riparian buffer strips in the Oregon Coast Range. Salmonberry growing on slopes was found to respond differently, to both characteristics of the buffer strips and to environmental factors, than salmonberry growing on terraces. Salmonberry, as measured by total height, number of ramets or...

Habitat classification and characteristics of small mammal and amphibian communities in beaver-pond habitats of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Suzuki, Nobuya
Abstract:: During 1988-1989, stream habitat variables were compared between beaver-dam sites and unoccupied-stream sites to identify variables that may have been important for beaver (Castor canadensis) in selecting dam sites in the streams of the Drift Creek basin, Lincoln County, Oregon. Increasing valley floor width and grass/sedge cover and decreasing stream...

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...

Riparian litter inputs to streams in the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Hart, Stephanie K.
Abstract:: Riparian zone vegetation can influence terrestrial and aquatic food webs through variations in the amounts, timing, and nutritional content of leaf and other litter inputs. Differences in vegetation composition and density, as well as riparian topography, may modulate the strength and quality of these inputs. Changes in inputs to small...

The land-water interface : patterns of riparian vegetation and channel morphology in the Oregon Coast Range system

Creator:: Takahashi, Mayumi
Abstract:: This study was conducted to describe variation of riparian vegetation in an Oregon Coast Range system according to geomorphic characteristics and in relation to streamflow. Specific objectives of this study were to: I) examine if the vegetation composition and structure of the riparian forest varied among channel-reach morphologies, 2) examine...

Silviculture practices for riparian forests in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Emmingham, William H., Chan, Samuel S., Mikowski, Dan, Owston, Peyton W., Bishaw, Badege, and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: This publication is aimed at watershed councils, government agencies, and specialists (foresters, wildlife and fisheries biologists) interested in riparian area silviculture or watershed restoration. It contains information on the ecology of riparian forests and a checklist of recommended practices and common mistakes made in restoring conifers to hardwood-dominated riparian forests....

Functional relationships among vegetation, nocturnal insects, and bats in riparian areas of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Ober, Holly K.
Abstract:: Vegetation provides food for many insects, and many insects serve as food for bats. We investigated the linkages among these three trophic levels in riparian areas throughout the Oregon Coast Range by examining the influence of vegetation cover, composition, and structure on the activity of nocturnal insects and bats, the...

Riparian vegetation and larval Pacific Giant (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) and adult Western Redback (Plethodon vehiculum) salamanders in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Graff, Paula (Paula Hayes)
Abstract:: Riparian areas in the Pacific Northwest provide important biotic and abiotic features, such as down wood, moist microsites, and abundant invertebrate prey that benefit aquatic and terrestrial amphibians. Reported high densities of amphibians from streams and riparian areas in the Pacific Northwest highlight their importance in riparian food webs. Amphibians...

The influence of canopy type and seasons on adult aquatic insect emergence and riparian spiders in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Premdas, Sharmila
Abstract:: The objective of my study was to examine differences in riparian tree and shrub composition associated with adult aquatic emergence and implications for terrestrial spiders in these sites. Seasonal abundance and biomass of adult emergent aquatic insects, riparian arthropod abundances and spider densities were compared between conifer- and hardwood-dominated sites...

The use of ơ15N and ơ¹³C to analyze food webs and identify source-sink relationships in riparian canopy vegetation of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Scott, Emily E.
Abstract:: In the Coast Range of western Oregon, some natural resource managers are converting red alder-dominated riparian areas to conifers to increase the future source of in-stream large wood for salmonid habitat. However, studies in Alaska have shown red alder-dominated riparian areas support greater invertebrate biomass compared to conifer-dominated areas. In...
