The thesis area is located in the southeastern corner of Harney County, Oregon. This portion of Oregon is situated in the northern part of the Basin and Range province, and is characterized by both mafic and silicic extrusives, and localized nonmarine sediments and
tuffs ranging in age from middle (?)...
Site index and height growth equations for mountain hemlock
(Tsuga mertensiana (Bong.) Carr.) were developed from 37 trees located
in the Deschutes Nationa1 Forest. Initial analysis indicated the need
for stratification by habitat type. Preliminary community classifications
were used to develop three strata for the study. Two approaches
to model...
Tree diameter, understory plant cover, seedling density, elevation, aspect, and slope steepness are recorded for 51 forest stands dominated by Tsuga mertensiana (Bong.) Carr. along the eastern portion of the central Oregon Cascades. Species dominance based on prominence values for
trees and percent cover for shrubs and herbs are correlated...
This dataset includes the datasets of suspended sediment concentration and environmental variables used to model stream metabolism, and the modeled stream metabolism results for two streams. For more information, see Cargill, SK (2019). The Influence of Lithology on Stream Metabolism in Mountain Systems. MS Thesis, Oregon State University.
Dataset contains a 2015 partial re-measurement of the Blue Mountains Fire and Fire Surrogate study. 8 plots were measured from each of the 16 units, selected
randomly from all plots in each unit. Species are recorded using USDA plant codes, "UNKN" is unknown species. For fine fuels, 3 Brown's transects...
Seedlings were thinned to spacings of 5, 9, 12, 15, and 18 feet and measured periodically. Twenty-seven years after treatment, quadratic mean diameters increased curvilinearity (p < or = 0.05) as spacing increased, but total height did not differ significantly (p < or = 0.05) with spacing. Corresponding basal areas...
