Modelling Stream Metabolism and Fish Biomass in Headwater Streams of the Eastern Cascades Mountains
… biomass in 10 different headwater streams on the eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains in Kittitas County, Washington. I estimated fish biomass on two occasions using a multiple-pass removal population estimate multiplied by the average fish mass, and I estimated ecosystem metabolism on three …

Internal composition, structure, and hydrological significance of rock glaciers in the Eastern Cascades, Washington
… strain on natural and economic resources of the Eastern Cascades. A major contributor to stream flow in this region is snow pack which has declined over the past few decades because of a warming climate. In addition, glacial runoff, which contributes significantly to base flow in summer dry …

Soil Influence on Forest Vegetation Productivity and Patterns in the Eastern Cascades of Southern Oregon
… project is located in the dry forests of the eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains in the Fremont Winema National Forest of South Central Oregon and overlaps with a Forest Service NEPA project planning area called the Lobert Restoration project. Five major soil series, previously mapped by a …

Two Post-Glacial Sagebrush Steppe Fire Records at the Wildland-Urban Interface, Eastern Cascades, Washington
… Results suggest that although climate influences eastern Cascades sagebrush steppe environments over millennial timescales, fuel availability represents a limiting factor over shorter intervals, with wet years allowing sagebrush and other fine fuels to proliferate, and fires occurring in …

Abandoned Mine Land Impacts on Tributaries in the Upper Yakima River Watershed, Eastern Cascades, Washington
… (AMLs) in several drainages in Washington’s Eastern Cascades flows into the Yakima River. Similar sites in Idaho and Colorado are known producers of heavy metals and acid mine drainage. I determined the effects of nine AMLs on water quality in four tributaries to the Yakima River. Archival …

Holocene Fire History Reconstruction of a Mid-Evaluation Mixed-Conifer Forest in the Eastern Cascades, Washington
… forests (MEMC) are uncommon, particularly in the eastern Cascades of Washington. As a result, fire regimes and the effects of 20th century fire suppression in these forests are not well understood. In the summer of 2014 a 7.80 meter-long sediment core was extracted from Long Lake, located …

A Regional Synthesis of Post-Glacial Fire History in the Eastern Cascades, Washington, Using Macroscopic Charcoal Analysis
… histories from frequently burned areas in the eastern Cascades is needed. The first major objective of this study was to determine if CharAnalysis, a statistical program developed to reconstruct fire history from macroscopic charcoal-based records, is appropriate for use with charcoal records …

Post-Glacial Fire History of Horsetail Fen and Human-Environment Interactions in the Teanaway Area of the Eastern Cascades, Washington
… Fen, located in the Teanaway area of the eastern Cascades of Washington State. The goal was to evaluate how fire activity has varied under different climatic scenarios during the last ~16,000 years and in relation to human land-use actions. This lake was selected because it is one of only …

Identifying the effects of land use and policy on disturbance regimes in the Teanaway Community Forest, Washington
The historic fire regime of the forests of the Eastern Cascades, Washington, has been described as one of high-frequency, low-severity fires using fire scar analysis. Over the past few centuries, the historically open, park-like ponderosa pine-dominated stands have been significantly altered due to …
