  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Non-equilibrium ecosystem dynamics: management implications for Oregon Author: Institute for Natural Resources The project focuses on nonequilibrium ecosystem dynamics, a body of scientific research that characterizes and interprets ecosystem change. INR summarizes knowledge from this field, describes ways in which the current management framework may be inconsistent with scientific findings, and helps identify options for future management. This paper is designed to be a starting place for a dialog between policy makers, scientists, managers and others that will lead to improved policies and practices.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Innovation in environmental streamlining and project delivery: Oregon State bridge delivery program : final report Author: Institute for Natural Resources, Lurie, Susan, Gaines, Lisa This report examines the Bridge Program efforts undertaken, methods used, obstacles encountered, accomplishments, and lessons learned. It is not a performance evaluation; it is a case study focusing on the social, organizational and institutional dynamics of transforming a vision for environmental streamlining into a working program. The Bridge Program is complex as well as innovative. The report therefore emphasizes particular innovative aspects of the program, requiring significant collaborative relationships, rather than describing all program facets in detail.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Preliminary summary of aggregate mining in Oregon with emphasis in the Willamette River Basin Author: Institute for Natural Resources, Klingeman, Peter C., Littlefield, Sam, 1980-, Jarvis, Todd, Williamson, Ken, Lundy, Jim, Achterman, Gail The purpose of this study is to summarize the technical information on aggregate mining in Oregon including updates of supply and demand since the last comprehensive forecasting of aggregate demand completed by Whelan (1995). Aggregate is a term that numerous definitions, but as used herein, aggregate is sand, gravel, and crushed rock used in the construction of roads and buildings. Aggregate resources within Oregon also include recycled materials. This study also attempts to assess the number of acres of Prime or High Value Soils that have been taken out of farm production by currently operating aggregate mines located along the floodplain of the Willamette River Basin in Oregon. The importance of investigating the relationship of Prime or High Value Soils and aggregate resources is that both resources often times are collocated. The study includes general information regarding many regions of Oregon, but the analysis focuses on the Willamette River Basin because (1) the bulk of Prime or High Value Soils are located in this area, and (2) the readily available digital data needed to complete spatial analyses of sand and gravel mines and soils distribution using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are limited to this area.
