Forest engineering implication of storm-induced mass wasting in the Oregon CoastRange, USA
Oregon CoastRange and explores the potential of this technique, with special reference to storm damage assessment in commercial forestry areas.
surveys were used to characterize the nature of these events and relate the occurrence of mass wasting activity to the topography, geology, and land management activities of the region. This paper is based upon an aerial videography transect of the north

Range shape and range elongation of North American trees
Biogeography ; Climatic zone ; Ecology ; North America ; Plant species ; Regression analysis ; Spatial distribution ; Taxonomy ; Topography ; Tree
The A. investigates the relative range elongation, with respect to maximum north-south distance and maximum east-west distance, of 269 North American tree species. These data provide evidence that species with smaller ranges tend to be elongated
north-south and species with larger ranges tend to be elongated east-west. This pattern is likely a result of species with small ranges being limited by local north-south-trending topography and species with large ranges being limited by major east-west
-oriented climatic zones, and is not merely an artifact of Rapoport's rule. Now, an explicit measure of range shape exists to compare to other biogeographical characteristics.
Erosion rates in the southern Oregon CoastRange : evidence for an equilibrium between hillslope erosion and sediment yield
The purpose of this study is to calculate hillslope erosion rates in the unglaciated Oregon CoastRange, and to evaluate the relation of hillslope erosion to modern sediment yield. The hillslope erosion rates are calculated using dated colluvial
Evidence for regional stream aggradation in the central Oregon CoastRange during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition
The purpose of this paper is to describe the stratigraphy, distribution, and age of the fluvial sediments that underlie the youngest regionally extensive terrace along several rivers in the central Oregon CoastRange. The 14C age determinations

The axial ranges of eastern North Island have grown in different processes of development north and south of the Hawke's Bay area in the Quaternary. The northern axial ranges had emerged by the early Pleistocene, when parts of the southern axial
ranges were still submerged. Back-arc spreading extended from the Havre Trough to central North Island c.1.8 Ma. Eruption of ignimbrite began in central North Island c.1.1 Ma., and migrated to the Taupo Volcanic Zone c.0.6 Ma. Interrupted by a period
Stochastic processes of soil production and transport : erosion rates, topographic variation and cosmogenic nuclides in the Oregon CoastRange
Previous work in the Oregon CoastRange suggested that there may be a tendency locally toward equilibrium between hillslope erosion and sediment yield. Here results from a new methodology based on cosmogenic radionuclide accumulation in bedrock
minerals at the base of the soil column are reported. The AA. quantify how soil production varies with sol thickness in the southern Oregon CoastRange and explore further the issue of landscape equilibrium. Apparent soil production is determined

Le volume de la charge en suspension, constaté après la construction d'une route, a significativement augmenté sur deux bassins-versants de l'Oregon CoastRange. Les causes sont essentiellement l'érosion du terrain ameubli pour la construction
Az Eszak-magyarorszagi-hegyvidék alakrajzi jellemzése. (Morphographic description of the North Hungarian Mountain Range)
Author is concerned with the parameters of relative relief and valley density of the North Hungarian Mountain Range, which is of medium height and the most diverse macroregion in Hungary for its rocks and structure. Table 1 shows the morphographic
The geomorphology of the central Coastal Range, a north-south trending horst along the west coast of northern Calabria, is governed largely by major faults, fault scarps and the distribution of principal rock types, as well as by a variety of slope
Use of ergodic reasoning to reconstruct the historical range of variability and evolutionary trajectory of rivers
and Fryirs (2005) is presented as a means for depicting the range of behaviour and evolutionary variability of this river. These approaches can be readily applied in other systems. Implications for approaches to analysis of river evolution and management

Geomorphology and structure of the Bear River Range, north eastern Utah: a morphometric approach
The aim of this paper is to test the extent to which lithology and structure control the geomorphological evolution of a part of the Basin and Range Province by using the method of base-level surfaces.

Research initiated in 1909 by G. Leslie Adkin (1888–1964) suggested that the central Tararua Range on the North Island, New Zealand, was subjected to only limited alpine-style glaciation during the Late Pleistocene. This was based on the U-shaped
cross-profiles in the uppermost parts of several valleys, and cirque basins. Adkin’s work remained the only published glacial research undertaken on the North Island’s axial ranges until the latter part of the 20th century, but was not met with universal
Wind disturbance and development of a near-edge forest interior, Mary Peak, Oregon coastrange
This study examines a noble fir (Abies procera) forest in the Oregon CoastRange to assess the role of wind disturbance in creating the structural characteristics of a developing forest interior. Specifically, the AA. explore how tree age and size
