Spatial and temporal dynamics of anthropogenically influenced forests of the Brazilian Amazon

Creator:: Bergen, Scott
Abstract:: The Amazon Tropical Rain Forest is the largest tropical rain forest system, comprising approximately 65% of such forests on earth. Since the 1960's, human populations in the Brazilian Amazon have increased from two to over 20 million. Concomitant urbanization, forest conversion, and economic dependence on resource extraction have exerted severe...

Assessing cumulative influences of watershed-scale landuses on reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) abundance

Creator:: Inahara, Satomi
Abstract:: The West Eugene Wetlands, Eugene, Oregon, which provide habitat for number of endemic and endangered plant species, are currently threatened by a Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) invasion. This study addresses the hypothesis that Phalaris spread can be explained in part by using watershed-scale landuse patterns as surrogates of the...

Urban residents and non-point source pollution : an examination of practices, influences, and values in the Tualatin watershed

Creator:: Nielson, Lisa M.
Abstract:: In July of 2001, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) activated the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDLs) provisions of the Clean Water Act. As the first river in Oregon to implement TMDL regulations, people and agencies in the Tualatin basin face many challenges. Non-point source pollution affects water quality in the...

Make it Rain : A Lagrangian Approach to Investigate Land Surface Controls on Moisture Recycling in the Columbia River Basin

Creator:: Tai, Leah Chung-Mei
Abstract:: Linkages between land use and its influence on the atmosphere have been a long-standing research area. For example, what is the impact of irrigated agriculture on downwind rainfall? Global-scale models show that moisture recycling is an important source of water for inland regions around the world, but they do not...

Land use and nonpoint source phosphorus pollution in the Dairy-McKay hydrologic unit area of the Tualatin River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Wolf, Donald W.
Abstract:: Human activities may contribute to the eutrophication of surface waters by providing nutrients to aquatic ecosystems. Phosphorus is frequently identified as a nutrient that is limiting to most aquatic ecosystems under natural conditions. Sources of phosphorus contributing to eutrophic conditions often include nonpoint sources that are dispersed across the landscape....

Land cover change along the Willamette River, Oregon

Creator:: Oetter, Doug Rudolph, 1962-
Abstract:: The Willamette River and its floodplain in northwest Oregon have changed dramatically since European settlement. At one time, the river was a vast complex system of braided channels with a broad floodplain forest; it has now been simplified by channelization and dams, and the forest has been removed to support...

Agricultural land use in the Tualatin Basin

Creator:: Scott, Eric F., Wood, Mary, Warkentin, Benno P., and Oregon State University. Water Resources Research Institute
Abstract:: This report presents estimates of land uses, concentrating on agricultural land in the Tualatin drainage basin. Acreage in different crop groups and agricultural water use and distribution in the watershed were estimated. The total amounts of nitrogen and phosphate applied to agricultural land and the average loading of nutrients per...

Seasonal relationships between dissolved nitrogen and landuse/landcover and soil drainage at multiple spatial scales in the Calapooia Watershed, Oregon

Creator:: Floyd, William C.
Abstract:: The Calapooia River, a major tributary of the Willamette River in western Oregon, is a watershed typical of many found in the Willamette Basin. Public and private forested lands occur in the steep Upper Zone of the watershed, mixed forest and agriculture lands are found in the Middle Zone, and...

Optimizing Reservoir Operations to Adapt to 21st Century Expectations of Climate and Social Change in the Willamette River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Moore, Kathleen M.
Abstract:: Reservoir systems in the western US are managed to serve two main competing purposes: to reduce flooding during the winter and spring, and to provide water supply for multiple uses during the summer. Because the storage capacity of a reservoir cannot be used for both flood damage reduction and water...
