Creator:: Anderson, Michael G.
Abstract:: This project, to propose an implementation strategy for standard monitoring protocols, builds on my Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Fellowship to support a study entitled Evaluating Cumulative Ecosystem Response to Restoration Projects in the Columbia River Estuary (Diefenderfer et al. 2005). The major objective of the study was to develop a...

Creator:: Andersen, Eric J.
Abstract:: Re-establishing connectivity is a primary restoration activity for enhancing the recovery of migratory fishes, but actions are often limited by lack of funds and understanding of the benefits of individual projects. The objective of this study was to develop a Bayesian Network (BN) to assess priorities for restoration of aquatic...

Creator:: Seedang, Saichon
Abstract:: In- stream water temperature is one of the most important environmental factors associated with the decline in salmonid populations and their habitats in the Pacific Northwest. Most ecological restoration practices that attempt to reduce instream temperatures center on replanting or reestablishing riparian vegetation and increasing flows. However, in a large...

Creator:: Clark, Steven
Abstract:: The fitness of female Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) with respect to breeding behavior can be partitioned into at least four components: survival to reproduction, competition for breeding sites, success of egg incubation, and suitability of the local environment near breeding sites for early rearing of juveniles. Accordingly, breeding sites should...

Creator:: Shaff, Courtney D.
Abstract:: Stream restoration techniques in western Oregon and Washington include physical habitat restoration and more recently the addition of salmon carcasses to improve food availability for juvenile fish. Although both are common practices, few studies have examined the effects of carcass placement and the interaction of nutrient enrichment with physical habitat...

Creator:: Petro, Vanessa M.
Abstract:: Many stakeholders involved with stream restoration in the Pacific Northwest have discussed the potential benefits of using beaver dam construction activities (Castor canadensis) as a management tool to improve degraded stream habitat for anadromous salmon species. In addition, there has been growing interest in using nuisance beavers, primarily controlled by...

Creator:: Hall, Austin
Abstract:: Temperature is a key factor for salmonid health and is an important restoration metric on the Middle Fork of the John Day River in northeast Oregon. In the past century, dredge mining, deforestation, and overgrazing have degraded stream habitat and resulted in greater daytime stream temperatures in the region. Recent...
