The SLICES framework is intended for use in making decisions about conservation and restoration in the Willamette River floodplain. It makes use of distinct spatial units, called slices, for planning and tracking change in the floodplain. The Floodplain Forest ca. 2010 Technical Report identifies data sources, describes the data processing,...

The Slices Framework is intended for use in making decisions about conservation and restoration in the Willamette River floodplain. It makes use of distinct spatial units for tracking change in the floodplain. The first of these units are 1 kilometer long slices drawn at right angles to the floodplain, first...

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...
A step-by-step guide to riparian tree and shrub planting in the Willamette Valley. Provides information on project planning, plant materials, site preparation, planting techniques, site maintenance, and monitoring and evaluation. Intended to help landowners, watershed council members, agency personnel, and others communicate about, plan, and implement woodland plantings near streams...
This study investigates riparian cover change between 1939 and 1996 utilizing aerial
photography, bank conditions and stream gauge data. Three sites under 1.0 km2, along a 10-
km reach north of Harrisburg, Oregon, were evaluated. The cover classification scheme
included 18 classes composed of 3 canopy densities and 8 structural...
Recognizing the importance of native black cottonwood-dominated riparian
forests is especially important to preserve, protect, and manage for biodiversity in
the Willamette River Valley. Species composition, structure, and biomass along a
successional gradient from stand initiation to late succession of black cottonwood
(Populus balsamfera L. subsp. trichocarpa (T. & G.)...
Relatively little is known about wintering bird communities in lowlands of the Pacific Northwest, yet, the condition of winter habitats potentially can pose a major constraint on bird populations. I initiated a study to determine: (1) Which avian species use lowland riparian and wetland habitats in the Willamette Valley during...
