How Do Population Growth, Land-use Regulations, and Precipitation Patterns Affect Water Use? A Fine-scale Empirical Analysis of Landscape Change

Creator:: Bigelow, Daniel P.
Abstract:: A growing body of literature exists on how human population growth and changes in climatic factors influence the availability of water (Elliot et al. 2014, Prudhomme et al. 2014). These studies typically conclude that climate change is expected to have negative consequences on water availability, an effect that is magnified...

Influence of wetland landscape structure of shorebirds wintering in an agricultural valley

Creator:: Taft, Oriane Williams
Abstract:: Understanding how wetland birds use habitat is pivotal to developing successful and beneficial conservation strategies. Although it has been an ardent topic in forest research for some time, how species interact with the spatial patterning of habitat across a landscape (i.e., landscape structure) has been more or less neglected in...

Fire-resistant landscape plants for the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Edmunds, Brooke, Fick, Barb, Lupcho, Paula Rogers, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: This pocket guide highlights fire-resistant plants that thrive in Willamette Valley growing conditions. It recommends groundcovers, perennials, shrubs, woody vines, and trees. There are too many annual plants available to list them all. In general, annuals are considered fire-resistant if they are kept well irrigated.

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...

Post mortem interval and decomposition rates : biological observations and mathematical analysis

Creator:: England, David B.
Abstract:: Entomological evidence can be used for estimating post mortem interval (PMI). Decomposition studies have been conducted throughout the world and these studies have demonstrated that insect succession generally follows a similar pattern at a taxonomic level, specifically family, but varies at the genus and species levels with respect to geographic...

Transdisciplinary Research in Water Sustainability: What’s in it for an Engaged Researcher-Stakeholder Community?

Creator:: Chan, Samuel, Ferguson, Laura, Santelmann, Mary V., and Tilt, Bryan
Abstract:: This study uses semi-structured interviews and an online survey to explore the structure, challenges and outcomes of a five-year National Science Foundation-funded water scarcity modelling project in the Willamette River Basin of Oregon, USA. The research team chose to facilitate broader impacts by engaging stakeholders from the study’s inception (e.g....

Progress of irrigation research on Willamette Valley soils

Creator:: Oregon State University. Agricultural Experiment Station
Abstract:: The future expansion of agricultural production in the Willamette Valley will depend to a large degree upon the feasibility of introducing irrigated agriculture on the poorly drained soils in the Valley. A r earch program has been initiated to investigate the feasibility of rigation on poorly drained soils with the...
