2024年11月11日 · For the Planet side, logging and deforestation on the Oregon Coast can disrupt ecosystems, reduce biodiversity, and cause soil erosion and water quality degradation. These coastal forests play a huge role in carbon sequestration, and when deforestation occurs, it reduces its ability to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere which contributes to climate ...

Early logging operations built temporary structures called "splash dams" across small streams in more than 160 locations on Oregon's coastal streams and Columbia River tributaries. First, a dam was built and filled with water. When it was blown up, mammoth logs roared downstream in …

2024年7月1日 · Today, the NASA DEVELOP Program released an analysis of how much of Oregon’s Coast Range was logged in the past 20 years in drinking watersheds. The maps and analysis show clearcutting across substantial portions of these watersheds.

2023年9月19日 · About one-third of the forested land in 80 of Oregon's coastal watersheds — nearly 600 square miles — has been logged during the last 20 years, much like this area of the Tillamook State Forest...

Explore and learn about logging in federal, state, and private lands with an interactive map that uses data extracted from government records and gleaned from satellite imagery and aerial photography.

2024年8月20日 · The Bureau of Land Management is proposing to log thousands of acres of pristine old growth forest habitat in Oregon’s Coast Range: the Blue and Gold Project. The Blue and Gold logging project has some of the last remaining unlogged, carbon-storing older forests in …

2024年9月30日 · Conservationists have filed a legal challenge against the Bureau of Land Management’s Blue and Gold logging project, which threatens to clearcut old-growth forests in Oregon’s Coast Range. The lawsuit argues that the project would destroy critical wildlife habitat, increase wildfire risk, and undermine climate resilience by converting ...

Much of Oregon has been heavily logged in the past, but in western Oregon, where these Landsat images are focused, nearly 1 million acres of intact, old growth forests remain. And almost all land in Oregon that is logged is reforested.

1971年1月25日 · In Oregon alone 500,000-700,000 acres are logged annually. Logging is preceded by road construction. Clear-cutting is the principal logging technique, followed by slash burning. The change in the appearance of the landscape is dramatic and abrupt. The crucial question for water quality is: How does clear-cut logging .

2023年8月11日 · Logging operations are widespread across the Oregon Coast Range and conventional logging practices pose a risk of contamination to surface water quality. The NASA DEVELOP Oregon Coast Ecological Conservation team partnered with nonprofit Oregon Wild to quantify the extent of clearcutting and commercial thinning in 80 Coast Range drinking ...
