Sensitivity analysis of the Catchment Modeling Framework (CMF) and use in evaluating two agricultural management scenarios

Creator:: Metta, John W. P.
Abstract:: Abstract Watershed-scale fate/transport modeling of contaminants is a tool that scientists and land managers can use to assess pesticide contamination to stream systems. The Catchment Modeling Framework (CMF) is a catchment-scale fate/transport modeling tool. It was developed to help scientists and land managers assess the effects of possible land-use decisions...

A coupled hydrologic-geomorphic model for evaluating effects of vegetation change on watersheds

Creator:: Duan, Jinfan
Abstract:: This work describes the modeling framework and initial results for CLAWS (Coupled Landscape And Water System), a physically-based, spatially-distributed hydrologicgeomorphic model that has been coupled with a vegetation dynamics simulation. Spatial variability of topography, soil, vegetation, and climate drive a hydrology module that calculates the water budget at given time...

A comparison of selected analyses for estimating environmental variation in early generations and advanced lines of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em thell)

Creator:: Khan, Noor-ul Islam
Abstract:: This investigation was motivated by the introduction of the new nearest neighbour analyses which reportedly provided a better control of soil gradients than conventional experimental methods. Three nearest neighbour analyses and six other analyses were compared with the completely randomized design or the randomized complete block design in reducing the...

Statistical analysis and speciation modeling of copper in Oregon highway runoff

Creator:: Bloomquist, Don J.
Abstract:: Low levels of copper have been shown to impair the olfactory system of threatened and endangered (T&E) salmon, decreasing their predator avoidance behavior and likely increasing mortality. However, only dissolved copper (dissCu) present as the cupric ion (Cu2+) and weakly complexed species are truly bioavailable. Previous studies indicate the vast...

Post-accident radiocesium uptake in eastern Oregon wheat crops : A preliminary estimate using a modified "PATHWAY" model

Creator:: Palotay, Joshua A.
Abstract:: An experimental environmental uptake model was developed for the purpose of estimating the final harvest concentration of contaminant following an acute accidental release of radiocesium onto an eastern Oregon winter wheat crop. The system was developed using the PATHWAY environmental uptake model as presented by Whicker and Kirchner (1987) for...

Traffic and greenhouse gas modeling in future land use development scenarios of Skagit County

Creator:: Mooney, Abraham A.
Abstract:: Energy use and greenhouse gas emissions are on the forefront of planning policy in the world today. In the U.S., the transportation sector accounts for 50 percent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the most of any single sector. State and local levels of government have been very proactive in the...

Potential impacts of climate change on vegetation distributions, carbon stocks, and fire regimes in the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Rogers, Brendan M.
Abstract:: The U.S Pacific Northwest contains a wide variety of ecosystems, all subject to relatively dry summers and wet winters. As has been shown with paleoclimatic and paleoecological data, the region is vulnerable to changes in climate. We assessed the sensitivities of vegetation distributions, carbon stocks, and fire regimes to 21st...

Using a heuristic programming method for incorporating wildlife habitat constraints into spatial harvest scheduling on the Elliott State Forest

Creator:: Lennette, Marie
Abstract:: The Elliott State Forest, located in the Coast Range of Oregon, is currently revising their Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). Many of the constraints in the HCP are spatial, requiring identification of specific parcels in order to limit activity along habitat reserves, limit harvest opening size, and to coordinate activities within...

The effects of community composition, landscape structure, and climate on host-pathogen interactions

Creator:: Moore, Sean M.
Abstract:: Like other species interactions in ecological systems, host-pathogen interactions are influenced by environmental factors, landscape characteristics and the broader community context. My thesis explores the potential influences of food-web interactions (Chapter 2), climate change (Chapter 3), landscape structure and host movement patterns (Chapter 4), and the combined influences of local...

Multiobjective decision making in industrial energy and environmental planning

Creator:: Kang, Hee Jung
Abstract:: Multiobjective Decision Making (MODM) has been suggested for the solution of complicated decision problems. Decision analysis in numerous areas, including industrial energy and environmental planning, necessarily requires consideration of multiple conflicting objectives. MODM has been successfully applied to a number of these problems of this type. Moreover, it has the...
