The use of Native American fire regimes evolved in the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion over millennia. A mixture of Native American and Euro-American socio-cultural management has developed from adaptations to climate, topography, ecological processes, and land use practices. This research incorporates Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) to partially examine the role of tribal...
This report documents and summarizes several decades of work on sage-grouse populations, sagebrush as habitat, and sagebrush community and ecosystem functions based on the recent assessment and findings of the USFWS under consideration of the Endangered Species Act. As reflected here, some of these topics receive a greater depth of...

In the Pacific Northwest of the United States, oceanfront homes also face an additional severe but very...
Land application of industrial wastewater with high levels of nitrogen requires
adequate management practices to prevent groundwater pollution by nitrates. In this study
a predictive computerized model was developed for nitrate leachate concentrations
resulting from land application of wastewater onto crop systems including poplars. The
study included a literature review,...

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...
