Creator:: Weikel, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: There is limited information on how to manage young forests of the Pacific Northwest to benefit wildlife populations. Commercial thinning is becoming more important in young forests both as a tool for timber management and to hasten the development of old-forest characteristics. There is some evidence that many species of...

Creator:: Leavell, Daniel M.
Abstract:: I studied the relationship of environmental variables to six plant associations on McDonald and Paul M. Dunn Forests. Indirect gradient analysis was used to determine relationships. The plant associations were developed in a companion study by C.J. Hubbard (1991). McDonald-Dunn Forests are located north and northwest of Corvallis, Oregon. The...

Creator:: Steidl, Robert J.
Abstract:: To assess the consequences of increased recreational activity on bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), we studied factors that influenced their behavior and reproductive success in the Gulkana River basin, Alaska, from 1989 to 1993. Both extrinsic and intrinsic factors were associated with reproductive success. Productivity averaged 0.86 young fledged per occupied...

Creator:: Loegering, John P., 1964-
Abstract:: To quantify the distribution and abundance of the riparian-associated vertebrate community, I surveyed streams in four basins in the Oregon Coast Range, 1992-1994. I observed mostly birds with fewer observations of mammals. Belted Kingfishers (Ceryle alcyon), American Dippers (Cinclus mexicanus), Great Blue Herons (Ardea herodias), and Mallards (Anus plalyrhynchos) comprised...
