High-use destinations in wilderness : social and biophysical impacts, visitor responses, and management options

Creator:: Cole, David N., Watson, Alan E., Hall, Troy E., Spildie, David R., and Rocky Mountain Research Station (Ogden, Utah)
Abstract:: Six high-use destination areas were studied in the Alpine Lakes, Mount Jefferson, and Three Sisters Wildernesses in Washington and Oregon. Exit interviews were conducted with visitors, and recreation impacts and visitor encounter rates between groups were quantified. Encounter rates were extremely high and impacts were substantial but localized. Visitors were...

Food for Axiology : Acknowledging Relationships

Creator:: Piquette, Daniel S.
Abstract:: An overarching explanation for environmental degradation has been humans' disconnection from the natural world. Utilizing Whiteheadian theory, I offer that there is no disconnection. Rather, I propose that there is a dearth of relational acknowledgement. I suggest that the Cartesian dualism and modern science led to an illusory belief that...

Nature in chains : the effects of Thomas Jefferson’s rectangular survey on a Pacific Northwest landscape

Creator:: Schweickert, Tina K.
Abstract:: Understanding the impact of humans on the environment has long been a topic of scholarly interest and debate. As environmental problems mount, accounts of historic ecological conditions and the factors of change become increasingly useful. This study considers competing schools of interpretation about human impacts on ecological landscapes and develops...

Human impacts on the ecology of bald eagles in interior Alaska

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...

Development and testing of a procedural model for the assessment of human/wetland interaction in the Tobari System on the Sonoran Coast, Mexico

Creator:: Valdes-Casillas, Carlos
Abstract:: Coastal wetlands provide basic linkages between productive estuarine and freshwater ecosystems. Throughout the Mexican coast, rates of wetland loss and change are unknown. This project developed wetland inventories for 1973 and 1991, including ecological functions and values, and human activities in and around the wetlands. Data was integrated by use...

Habitat alteration and human disturbance : their impact on cougar habitat utilization in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Gagliuso, Robert A.
Abstract:: Eight cougars were radio-collared and monitored during 1985 - 1987. Home range size, determined by minimum convex polygons, averaged 153.1 km2 for females, 543.5 km2 for males. Core home range size, determined by harmonic mean analysis, averaged 21.7 km2 for females, 17.9 km2 for males. Home ranges of males and...

Person-environment fit and adaptation : exploring the interaction between person and environment in older age

Creator:: Lien, Laura L.
Abstract:: The ability to independently age in place requires an appropriate match between a person and the environment, or P-E fit. The person-environment interaction helps describe the adaptation processes employed in older age to achieve P-E fit, but is little understood. Therefore, the objective of this two-part study was to gain...

Sediment accumulation and human impacts in Tillamook Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Styllas, Michael N.
Abstract:: Tillamook Bay is the second largest estuary on the Oregon coast, and concerns have been raised whether human induced impacts have been responsible for the perceived increase in sedimentation rates during the past century. Major land-use practices within the five watersheds of the Bay include logging, forest fires, the construction...

Factors Affecting Persistence of Canines at an Independent Task

Creator:: Brubaker, Lauren M.
Abstract:: The development of problem-solving behaviors in canines, including persistence, has implications for canine training, welfare, and the human-dog bond. Past research has shown that a variety of factors, including genetics (domestication) and training experience, play a role in a how a canine might behave during a problem-solving task. Less well...
