Oregon's estuaries are important ecosystems for scientific study. Consequently, knowledge of what research has been conducted helps us identify benchmarks and plan new projects. A comprehensive bibliography of published research, technical reports, local documents, and data sets is one means of recording this knowledge. For these reasons, the Guin Library...

Summarizes information on wood as an engineering material.
Presents properties of wood and wood-based products
of particular concern to the architect and engineer. Includes
discussion of designing with wood and wood-based products
along with some pertinent uses.
Wireworm is the common name for the larvae of click beetles (Coleoptera: Family Elateridae). The adults do little or no damage, although there are some anecdotal reports that they can damage certain crops (e.g., grapes and stone fruits) by feeding on flowers. However, larval wireworms are among the most destructive...
The National Forest System (NFS) of the United States plays an important role in the carbon cycle because
these lands make up a large proportion of the forested land in the country and commonly store more wood
per unit area than other forest ownerships. In addition to sustaining natural resources,...

The study was conducted on the Ochoco National Forest in
central Oregon. Vegetation-soil relationships were evaluated for the
following objectives: 1. Develop a sound ecological foundation on
which total land management decisions may be based. 2. Evaluate
forest succession, stocking, and growth to improve management.
3. Develop accurate range condition...
The Chugach National Forest has been using prescribed fire as a wildlife habitat management tool since l977. Between 1977 and 1997 about 4,000 hectares have been burned on the Kenai Peninsula to promote regeneration of woody plant species used by moose (Alces alces). Browse species include paper birch (Betula papyrifera),...
Vegetation ecology of eight Oregon freshwater wetlands was
described and net aerial primary productivity estimated in four
wetlands. Plant cover samples were used to classify 37 wetland and
11 terrestrial communities by agglomerative hierarchical clustering.
Samples and species were ordinated. Direct measurements were made
of sample relative elevation, inundation duration,...
