Floodplain forests play many important roles in the fluvial processes and environments of large alluvial rivers, including acting as geomorphological influences and habitat for native fish during high flows. Many large, gravel-bed river systems have undergone substantial change in recent centuries, resulting in loss of forested area to agriculture, reduction...
The rapid population growth and related economic
growth of the Willamette Valley has resulted in a significant
reduction in air quality over the past several decades.
Within the Willamette Valley air ventilation is very poor and
therefore the airpo1lutton potential is one of the highest
in the United States. There...
A Willamette Valley farm cooperative was interested
in evaluating locations for their canning facilities based on
the criterion of minimizing aggregate distance to their contract
farms. This location problem presented an excellent opportunity
for a geographic application project as it was characterized by
one, a spatial distribution of farms and...
This study was conducted to explore differences in diversity and abundance of small
mammal populations in natural and restored wet prairies in Oregon's Willamette Valley.
Mammals were live-trapped in eight Willamette Valley wet prairies (four natural remnants and
four restorations) during the summer of 2000; population abundance estimates for each...
Time trends in flow and channel characteristics were evaluated for the Middle Fork Willamette (MFW) River, which drains a 668 km2 forested watershed in the Cascade Mountains of western Oregon. Timber
production is the primary land use in the watershed. Analysis of precipitation and peak flow data from 1959 to...
