Influence of log truck traffic and road hydrology on sediment yield in western Oregon

Creator:: Miller, Rebecca H.
Abstract:: An understanding of the factors that influence surface erosion from roads is necessary to prevent and mitigate sediment production from forest roads. This study investigated the impacts of log truck traffic and road hydrology on sediment yield from ten forest road segments in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains of...

Fine organic debris and dissolved oxygen in streamed gravels in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Skaugset, Arne E.
Abstract:: Intragravel organic loading and intragravel dissolved oxygen were studied to determine the relationship between timber harvesting adjacent to first-, second-, and third-order streams and intragravel water quality. Twenty watersheds in the central Coast Range of western Oregon were studied of which five were undisturbed, nine were partially harvested, and six...

Diesel fuel emissions and truck idling : the Oregon Interstate 5 Idle-Free Corridor Project : a bounded rationality perspective

Creator:: Ham, Clifford L.
Abstract:: Long-haul diesel trucks carry the lion’s share of all shipped goods in the United States. The drivers of these trucks often live in these trucks for days, sometimes weeks, at a time as they deliver these goods. When stopped overnight, many of these drivers leave their engines idling to heat...

Analysis and operational considerations of biomass extraction on steep terrain in western Oregon

Creator:: Flint, Benjamin R.
Abstract:: The development of bioenergy from biomass has dominated the minds of forest engineering researchers over the last decade. One of the main themes that has been generated from that research is that bioenergy from biomass has major operational hurdles to overcome before becoming economically feasible. More directly, the impact of...

Report of dam at Chitwood mill on Haxel Creek, a tributary of Thornton Creek

Creator:: Waldron, Kenneth D. and Oregon Fish Commission. Shellfish Program
Abstract:: Describes an investigation of a dam at a millpond near the village of Chitwood, Oregon. The dam was on Haxel Creek, a tributary of Thornton Creek, a tributary of the Yaquina River. Includes a hand-drawn map of the area.
Resource Type:: Technical Report
Full Text:: to 10 years. The owner of the mill, Chet Minnie of Corvallis, Oregon, was not available for an inter

Examining effectiveness of Oregon’s forest practice rules for maintaining warm-season maximum stream temperature patterns in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Fleuret, Jennifer Marie
Abstract:: Stream temperature, as an important component of stream ecosystems, can be affected by forest harvesting through removal of riparian shade and changes in hydrology. Riparian Management Areas (RMAs), as implemented through the current Oregon Forest Practice Rules, are designed, in part, to maintain stream temperature following forest harvesting. However, effectiveness...

Identification of variables influencing residual stand damage from skyline thinning of young western hemlock-Sitka spruce stand

Creator:: Hargrave, Michael A.
Abstract:: Western hemlock and Sitka spruce are relatively thin- barked species and susceptible to damage during thinning operations. Damage to the wood allows decay-causing fungi to enter resulting in loss of merchantable volume at the time of final harvest. Cable yarding systems are needed for much of the thinning because most...

The geomorphic significance of log steps in forest streams of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Marston, Richard A.
Abstract:: A log step develops when large woody debris extends across the active channel, creating a change in the water surface elevation as the stream spills over the log step. By forming a series of vertical falls, log steps reduce the amount of potential energy available for conversion to kinetic energy...

Soil compaction from low ground-pressure, torsion-suspension logging vehicles on three forest soils

Creator:: Froehlich, Henry A. and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Monitoring soil density on three sites during repeated trips with a high-speed skidder showed that: During the first 20 trips, soil density primarily increased between depths of 2 to 4 inches; Density increased most during the first few trips; Density continued to increase slowly in amount and depth with the...
