  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Native freshwater wetland plant associations of northwestern Oregon Author: Institute for Natural Resources, Christy, John A., Oregon Natural Heritage Information Center This guide provides keys, descriptions, and stand tables for 122 native freshwater plant associations (14 forest and woodland, 28 shrub, 78 herbaceous, 2 nonvascular) in northwestern Oregon, based on analysis of data from 1,992 plots distributed throughout the study area. Descriptions are provided for eight other plant associations for which there are no plot data. Data were also not available for 114 additional associations reported from the study area (Kagan et al. 2000). The study area includes the north half of both the Coast Range and Western Cascade ecoregions, and all of the Willamette Valley. Vegetation is classified according to the National Vegetation Classification System, and plant associations are assigned to ecological systems that are currently being developed on a nationwide level.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Systematic review pilot project: final report Author: Institute for Natural Resources This report documents an Oregon Department of Forestry pilot project conducted through the Institute for Natural Resources at Oregon State University on a science synthesis method known as systematic review- a rigorous, transparent literature review technique developed and now widely used in clinical medicine. A systematic review focuses narrowly on a single question and uses an explicit protocol for finding, screening, grading and integrating all primary research relevant to that question. Systematic review is now being explored as a means to collate scientific evidence in natural resource conservation. But natural resource management and science differ significantly from clinical medicine, and much remains to be learned about adapting systematic review techniques for use in conservation research. ODF commissioned this project to learn more about applying systematic review to technical natural resource questions. The project investigated the feasibility of using systematic review techniques to locate and synthesize technical information regarding the effectiveness of the salmonid habitat restoration practice of placing of large wood into streams. A key question was whether the systematic review process could be simplified and used to credibly assess scientific research concerning a topic that is relevant to ODF and their stakeholders. This report summarizes the project process and key lessons learned from testing systematic review in the context of natural resource science. A companion document- “Does wood placement in Pacific northwestern North American streams affect salmonid abundance, growth, survival or habitat complexity? A pilot test of systematic review techniques” covers findings of the review itself.
