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 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...

Recovery of Wild Salmonids in Western Oregon Lowlands

Creator:

Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (Or.)

Abstract:

This report discusses major characteristics of western Oregon’s lowland rivers, streams, and estuaries that the IMST finds to be important to wild salmonids. IMST describes how landscape scale factors (landscape structure, landscape function, disturbance regimes, and landscape scale biological processes) historically supported salmonid populations in western Oregon lowlands. The report...
