Legal Ecotones: A Riparian Analysis of Riparian Policy Protection in the Oregon Coast Range (Boisjolie et al, 2017)

Waterways of the USA are protected under the public trust doctrine, placing responsibility on the state to safeguard public resources for the benefit of current and future generations. This responsibility has led to the development of management standards for lands adjacent to streams. In the state of Oregon, policy protection for riparian areas varies by ownership (e.g., federal, state, or private), land use (e.g., forest, agriculture, rural residential, or urban) and stream attributes, creating varying standards for riparian land-management practices along the stream corridor. Here, we compare state and federal riparian landmanagement standards in four major policies that apply [...]

In the Pacific Northwest, salmon populations were historically more abundant than they are today. As a result, many populations have been the focus of habitat restoration efforts. A vital role in these restoration efforts is played by private landowners, who collectively manage one-third of the forestlands in Oregon. Crucial habitat for some salmon populations occurs predominately on lands that are privately owned. VIEW PDF

Summer Streamflow Deficits from Regenerating Douglas‐fir Forest in the Pacific Northwest (Perry & Jones, 2016)

2022-06-28T13:41:43+00:00

Despite controversy about effects of plantation forestry on streamflow, streamflow response to forest plantations over multiple decades is not well understood. Analysis of 60‐year records of daily streamflow from eight paired‐basin experiments in the Pacific Northwest of the United States (Oregon) revealed that the conversion of old‐growth forest to Douglas‐fir plantations had a major effect on summer streamflow. Average daily streamflow in summer (July through September) in basins with 34‐ to 43‐year‐old plantations of Douglas‐fir was 50% lower than streamflow from reference basins with 150‐ to 500‐year‐old forests dominated by Douglas‐fir, western hemlock, and other conifers. Study plantations are [...]

The following discussion, tables, and figures provide information for use by NOAA as part of the 2015 status review for the Oregon Coast Coho Salmon ESU. The status of Oregon Coast coho salmon has improved, largely as a result of actions identified in the Oregon Coast Coho Conservation Plan (OCCCP; http://www.dfw.state.or.us/fish/CRP/docs/coastal_coho/final/Coho_Plan.pdf). Hatchery and harvest issues have been addressed, watershed-based organizations have been created to coordinate habitat needs, significant investments have been made in habitat restoration, and the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds has established a framework for coordination among land managers and owners. ODFW considers the Oregon Coast [...]
