Replace deep-water weather buoy mooring and anchor in Crater Lake

Project ID: J8W07060012 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $6,372 Total Funding: $6,372 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Oregon State University, in cooperation with Crater Lake National Park, maintains a year-round floating weather buoy in the deepest part of Crater Lake to study the impact of climate on lake ecology. The mooring line below 60 feet and the anchor system that…


Conduct Hydrologic Assessment of Ebey’s Prairie, Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve

Project ID: J8W07060013 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $5,000 Total Funding: $40,000 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: This research utilizes available data and models to reconstruct original surface flow patterns, events and practices that have altered the flow regime over time, and provide an elementary integration of surface and groundwater modeling, for Ebey’s Prairie.


Western Snowy Plover Monitoring Program

Project ID: HAF033F06 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $40,000 Total Funding: $452,000 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: The project objective is to survey and document breeding activities of the western snowy plover in beach and dune habitats on Coos Bay District lands as part of the larger coordinated Oregon Coast Western Snowy Plover Monitoring Program. The monitoring program evaluates nest…


Japanese Knotwood population dynamics in Western Oregon Riparian areas.

Project ID: HAF033F07 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $12,943 Total Funding: $29,255 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: This project will provide research information for improving effectiveness of weed control programs on both public and private lands. Management recommendations important for understanding expansion, contraction ad containment of Japanese knotweed will be provided to the BLM based on the project findings.


Conducting Fire Science Research in Southwestern Oregon

Project ID: HAF033F09 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $307,149 Total Funding: $307,149 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: The Fire Science Research Program was developed in response to growing concerns over the lack of scientific information relative to fire salvage, fuels management and the effects of wildfire on ecological processes and wildlife. This research proposal was developed to specifically address the…


Joint Fire Science Project – Fuels Reduction Study under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program.

Project ID: HAF033F10 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $134,881 Total Funding: $134,881 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Study the consequences of fire suppression treatments for native plant communities in oak woodlands, shrub lands and grasslands, working largely in the Applegate Valley Adaptive Management Area of the ARA using a combination of retrospective and prospective approaches.


Landscape Scenario Analysis Project

Project ID: HAF033F11 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $81,100 Total Funding: $429,550 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: This project will develop a landscape modeling and analysis capability which will be used for the upcoming revision of the BLM resource management plans. (In 2009 BLM changed the project number to L08AC14460).


Relation Between Overstory Density Management, Understory Planting and Long-Term Development of Stand Structures

Project ID: HAF033F12 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $30,000 Total Funding: $133,806 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: The ultimate objective of this study is provision of long-term demonstrations and published data bases for evaluating the array of consequences (positive and negative) of manipulating overstory, understory and reforestation toward development of late-successional habitat and forest conditions. The proposal has the limited…
