Spatio-Temporal Patterns of Tree Establishment in the M1 Meadow of the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:: Jones, Katherine E.
Abstract:: Montane meadows in the Cascade Range of Oregon have been declining due to tree establishment since records began. Montane meadow complexes in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest shrank by 60 to 75% from 1949 to 2005, but fine scale temporal and spatial processes of tree establishment in these meadows are...

Forest canopy effects on snow depth and density of seasonal and transient mountain snowpack in a maritime snow climate

Creator:: Whidden, Ian W.
Abstract:: Relatively little is known about how various factors influence snow water storage in forested mountain landscapes in maritime (warm winter) climates. This study took advantage of multiple snow data sources including long-term data, synoptic sampling, remote sensing, and modeling to examine factors influencing snow dynamics in the H.J. Andrews Experimental...

Temporal and Spatial Variability of Channel Adjustment to Floods in a 5th order Forested Mountain Stream

Creator:: Cromer, Leah
Abstract:: Mountain rivers are important aquatic ecosystems that regulate sediment and water delivery to higher order streams. While previous studies have debated the roles of hillslope and fluvial processes in driving change in channel morphology of mountain rivers, few have examined how these processes influence channel response over longer timescales. The...

Climate Variability and Plant-Pollinator Networks in the Cascade Range, Oregon

Creator:: Vickers, Melinda
Abstract:: Worldwide, networks of plants and pollinators are faced with the threat of climate change. The extent of this threat and the degree of adaptability is not yet understood. In Oregon, climate change is predicted to bring hotter and drier summers which may have consequences for pollinators and the resources they...

Exotic plant species dynamics from 1994 to 2005 on road networks in forested landscapes of western Oregon

Creator:: Sheehy, Samantha
Abstract:: Although the Pacific Northwest has the least proportion of non-native plant species in relation to other regions of North America, exotic species continue to spread into mountainous areas, including the Cascade Range. In a forested landscape, road networks can act as corridors for exotic plant dispersal and establishment, helping species...

Thirty-five years of forest succession in southwest Oregon : vegetation response to three distinct logging treatments

Creator:: Arthur, Aaron Stone
Abstract:: This study examined patterns and controls on 35-years of forest succession following logging in the 236 ha South Umpqua Experimental Forest within the Umpqua National Forest in southwestern Oregon. Prior to logging, the overstory in all three watersheds (~50% cover) was composed of Douglas-fir (30-40% cover), grand fir (2 to...

Stream channel stability and sensitivity to landscape history and land use changes in Kelley Creek, Portland, Oregon

Creator:: Murphy, Yarrow M.
Abstract:: This study examines stream channel erosion processes in a small urbanizing watershed influenced by deposits of the Columbia Basin catastrophic floods: Kelley Creek, a 12-km² tributary of Johnson Creek, located just east of Portland, Oregon. Information on landscape history, stream channels, and sediment dynamics was compiled. The effects of future...

Geographic distributions of prey of the northern spotted owl in the central western Cascades, Oregon, 1988-2009

Creator:: Smoluk, Alexis
Abstract:: Spatial variation in the diet of the northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) influences owl home ranges, and understanding this relationship will aid managers in forest management prescriptions that influence spotted owl recovery. This study describes the spatial variation in owl diet based on 4183 prey collected at 114 owl...

Exploring Vulnerability and Scarcity of Groundwater Resources in Quintana Roo, Mexico

Creator:: Iglesias Thome, Maria Jose
Abstract:: This study examined water scarcity and vulnerability in Quintana Roo, along the northern Caribbean coast of Mexico where rapid growth of tourism in the past 40 years has limited the ability of rural and urban communities to obtain safe, reliable, and equitable access to water services and critical water infrastructure...

Meadow classification in the Willamette National Forest and conifer encroachment patterns in the Chucksney-Grasshopper meadow complex, Western Cascade Range, Oregon

Creator:: Dailey, Michele Meadows
Abstract:: This study delineates and characterizes the distribution of montane meadows in the Willamette National Forest, identifies encroachment patterns in relation to topographic features and proximity to trees in the Chucksney-Grasshopper meadow complex, and examines tree species and age distributions in relation to distance from forest edges or isolated tree clusters...
