Study on integrating surveys of terrestrial natural resources : the Oregon Demonstration Project

Creator:: Goebel, J. Jeffery, Schreuder, Hans T., House, Carol C., Geissler, Paul H., Olsen, Anthony R., Williams, William, and National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory (U.S.)
Abstract:: An interagency project demonstrated the feasibility of integrating Federal surveys of terrestrial natural resources and offers a vision for that integration. At locations selected from forest inventory and analysis, National forest system Region 6, and national resources inventory surveys in a six-county area in Northern Oregon, experienced teams interpreted and...

Effect of riparian areas on the ecological condition of small, perennial streams in agricultural landscapes of the Willamette Valley : research plan, June 1997

Creator:: Moser, Thomas J., Wigington, P.J., Schuft, Michael J., Kaufmann, Phillip R., Herlihy, Alan T., Van Sickle, John, and McAllister, Lynne S.
Abstract:: Little research has been directed toward determining the status and ecological role of riparian areas in agricultural landscapes of the Willamette Valley, Oregon. A research project has been designed to contribute to the development and evaluation of alternative future scenarios and to improve the basic understanding of the role of...

Ecological functions of off-channel habitat, Willamette River, Oregon : final research plan

Creator:: Andrus, Charles W., Landers, Dixon, Erway, M.L., Sharps, D., and Cline, S.P.
Abstract:: Off-channel features such as alcoves and side channels can have important ecological functions for large rivers such as the Willamette River. Some species and age classes of fish may select these features instead of the main channel to feed, avoid predation by other fish, escape fast water, or seek out...

Quantifying physical habitat in wadeable streams : surface waters

Creator:: Kaufmann, Phillip R., Levine, Paul, Robison, E. George, Seeliger, Curt, and Peck, David V.
Abstract:: We describe concepts, rationale, and analytical procedures for characterizing physical habitat in wadeable streams based on raw data generated from methods similar or equal to those of Kaufmann and Robison (in PB99-139156). We provide guidance for calculating measures or indices of stream size and gradient, sinuosity, substrate size and stability,...

Monitoring design for riparian forests in the Pacific Northwest : research plan

Creator:: Ringold, Paul L., Barker, Jerry R., Bollman, Mike, Bradshaw, Gay, Carson, Ward, Cline, Steven Paul, Fiorella, Maria R., Stepp, Jennifer, United States. Environmental Protection Agency. Office of Research and Development, National Health and Environmental Effects Laboratory, Dynamac Corporation, Oregon State University, and United States. Forest Service
Abstract:: The goal of this project is to recommend a broadly-acceptale efficient and effective methodology for characterizing streamside riparian attributes in forested settings at the site grain for regional monitoring. The authors consider monitoring design in the context of three interacting constraints: ecological functions, capabilities of technologies, and user needs. The...

Potential new health risk from lead in used consumer products purchased in the United States

Creator:: Sharmer, Laurel, Shackley, M. Steven, and Harding, Anna K.
Abstract:: The lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule and the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, both enacted in 2008, were intended to protect children from exposure to lead by setting federal limits on lead content. Neither of these federal actions, however, addresses a newly recognized pathway of exposure to lead from...

Physical and chemical characteristics of the Yaquina Estuary, Oregon

Creator:: Callaway, R. J., Specht, David T., and National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory (U.S.). Western Ecology Division. Coastal Ecology Branch
Abstract:: "After a brief description of the setting of the Yaquina Estuary, estuarine dynamics and classification, and estuarine chemistry are presented. Then, temperature-salinity relations are reviewed using the Rattray-Officer model in simulating variable distributions reported by Callaway and Specht (1982) and Callaway (1991). Finally, the numerical models DynHyd and WASP are...

Methods for multi-spatial scale characterization riparian corridors

Creator:: Moser, Thomas J., Lindeman, Dale R., Wigington, P.J., Schuft, Michael, and Van Sickle, John
Abstract:: This paper describes the application of aerial photography and GIS technology to develop flexible and transferable methods for multi-spatial scale characterization and analysis of riparian corridors. Relationships between structural attributes of riparian corridors and indicators of stream ecological conditions are not well established. As part of a research project focused...

Vegetation characterization of three contrasting riparian areas : Williamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: McAllister, Lynne S., Dwire, Kathleen A., and Griffith, Stephen M.
Abstract:: Much of the native riparian vegetation of the Willamette Valley, Oregon, has been replaced with agricultural crops or invasive non-native plant species. Detailed information about current Willamette Valley riparian vegetation is generally lacking. Plant specie composition data are useful in a variety of applications, including condition assessment, environmental monitoring and...

Conducting Research with Tribal Communities: Sovereignty, Ethics, and Data-Sharing Issues

Creator:: Harding, Anna, Harper, Barbara, Stone, Dave, O'Neill, Catherine, Berger, Patricia, Harris, Stuart, and Donatuto, Jamie
Abstract:: Background: When conducting research with American Indian tribes, informed consent beyond conventional institutional review board (IRB) review is needed because of the potential for adverse consequences at a community or governmental level that are unrecognized by academic researchers. Objectives: In this article, we review sovereignty, research ethics, and data-sharing considerations...
