Spatial pattern and dynamics of hardwood patches in the Coast Range of Oregon, 1939-1993

Creator:: Hess, Rebecca Susan
Abstract:: Analysis of the long-term spatial pattern and dynamics of hardwood patches in the Coast Range of Oregon provides numerous ecological insights. Natural and anthropogenic disturbances have contributed to the development of a patchy mosaic of vegetation types in the area. Some hardwood patches in the Coast Range may be the...

Preliminary reconstruction and analysis of change in forest stand age classes of the Oregon Coast Range from 1850 to 1940

Creator:: Teensma, Peter Dominic Adrian, 1956-, Rienstra, John T., and Yeiter, Mark A.
Abstract:: Fire and other catastrophic disturbance events in the Douglas-fir forests of the Oregon Coast Range have been significant in determining the distribution of stand age classes and, hence, habitat. Except for the past half century, knowledge of fire in the region has largely been local and anecdotal. The Douglas-fir forests...

The land-water interface : patterns of riparian vegetation and channel morphology in the Oregon Coast Range system

Creator:: Takahashi, Mayumi
Abstract:: This study was conducted to describe variation of riparian vegetation in an Oregon Coast Range system according to geomorphic characteristics and in relation to streamflow. Specific objectives of this study were to: I) examine if the vegetation composition and structure of the riparian forest varied among channel-reach morphologies, 2) examine...

Spatial and temporal patterns of fire in the forests of the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Impara, Peter C.
Abstract:: Fire history and fire regime were interpreted from tree ring analysis of 4320 stumps at 178 sites in a 25 by 55 km area in the central Oregon Coast Range. A total of 27 fire episodes were identified in a 516 year period, with sizes estimated at 18 to 544...

An opportunity cost approach to land preservation in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Aliski, Leon David
Abstract:: This study estimates a range of opportunity costs associated with three land management alternatives for a site in the Oregon Coast Range. A 35,000 acre site was selected which includes a mix of federal and private land ownership and provides significant biological resources. The first alternative examines a plan for...

Changes in storm hydrographs due to clear-cut logging of coastal watersheds

Creator:: Harper, Warren Charles
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of clearcut logging on stormflow by analysis of characteristic parameters of individual storm hydrographs. Parameters considered included height-of-rise, peak discharge, volume and time-to-peak. The hydrologic data were derived from experimental watersheds of the Alsea Study located in the Oregon Coast...

Establishment and growth of natural and planted conifers ten years after overstory thinning and vegetation control in 50-year-old Douglas-fir stands

Creator:: Nabel, Mark R.
Abstract:: Forest managers of public lands in western Oregon and Washington have become increasingly interested in creating additional conifer cohorts in young, even-aged, second-growth Douglas-fir stands. The purpose of our research was to assess the establishment, survival, and growth of naturally-regenerated and underplanted conifers 10-13 years after overstory thinning and understory...

Crown structure, stand dynamics, and production ecology of two species mixtures in the central Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Garber, Sean M.
Abstract:: Knowledge of stand structure, stand dynamics, and production ecology of species mixtures lags well behind that of single-species, even-aged stands. Two mixed-species spacing trials in central Oregon allowed investigation of mixed-species dynamics in a controlled experimental setting. The first site, Pringle Butte, is a mixture of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa...

Managing western hemlock forests in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Duddles, Ralph E., Fitzgerald, Stephen Arthur, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Western hemlock forests in the coastal areas of Oregon are some of the most productive and diverse forests in the world. This rich diversity represents both a challenge and an opportunity for woodland owners interested in managing western hemlock on their property.
