Historical Splash-dam Mapping & Stream Disturbance Detection in the Oregon Coastal Province (Miller, 2010)

2022-06-28T13:41:53+00:00

Severe scouring from splash damming was one of the earliest reported forms of widespread anthropogenic disturbance in streams of the Pacific Northwest, USA. Splash damming was a common method of log transport in western Oregon from the 1880s through the 1950s. Before being released in large freshets to downstream lumber mills, water and logs were stored in reservoirs behind splash dams. Further protocol called for dynamiting downstream obstacles such as large boulders and natural logjams. In recent literature, the legacy effect of historical splash damming is proposed as contributing to currently poor habitat conditions for lotic species, such as [...]

Oregon Coast Coho Conservation Plan (OR Fish & Wildlife Commission, 2007)

2022-06-28T13:48:34+00:00

The purpose of this Conservation Plan is to ensure the continued viability of the Oregon Coast Coho Evolutionary Significant Unit (ESU) and to achieve a desired status that provides substantial ecological and societal benefits. The Oregon Coast Coho ESU is viable (see Table 2; State of Oregon 2005) and does not currently require protection under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) (NOAA Fisheries 2006). The current status of this ESU reflects a reduction in fishery harvest, improved hatchery management, and extensive habitat restoration work initiated or maintained under the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds (Oregon Plan). This Conservation [...]

Implications of Riparian Management Strategies on Wood Streams of the Pacific Northwest (Meleason et al, 2003)

2022-06-28T13:42:05+00:00

Riparian forest management plans for numerous regions throughout the world must consider long-term supply of wood to streams. The simulation model OSU STREAMWOOD was used to evaluate the potential effects of riparian management scenarios on the standing stock of wood in a hypothetical stream in the Pacific Northwest, USA. OSU STREAMWOOD simulates riparian forest growth, tree entry (including breakage), and inchannel processes (log breakage, movement, and decomposition). Results of three simulation scenarios are reported. The first scenario assessed total wood volume in the channel from Douglas-fir plantations clearcut to the stream bank using three rotation periods (60, 90, and [...]
