Ashland Creek - Selected Sources
1. Lund, J. & Symposium on Engineering Geology & Soils Engineering. Erosion and Silting Problems in the Ashland Watershed. (1974): [Special Collections: GB1007.A8.L8x]
This report documents the topography, geology, and soils associated with the Ashland Creek Watershed as well as its development and use by humans. It uses the information to address local problems such as flooding, erosion, sedimentation, clear-cutting, and road construction; both natural and human-caused and suggests corrective measures to manage and resolve these problems.
2. The United States. Forest Service. Pacific Northwest Region. Modeling Random Fire Events with an ecosystem SYSDYN5 [System Dynamics 5]: Ashland Creek Watershed and Mt. Ashland Late Successional Reserve, Rogue River National Forest. The United States. Forest Service. Pacific Northwest Region. Ashland, Oregon. (1990): [Special Collections: SD421.32.O7 M63]
This report investigates and evaluates the relationship of random wildfire events and dynamic ecosystems to model and predict long-term consequences to vegetation succession. The SYSDYN5 provides a powerful framework for addressing issues of risk related to sustaining levels of late-successional habitat through time, exploring how ecosystems might respond to policies and human attitudes in regards to fire management that might affect them.
3. Marvin, M. Cultural Ecology of the Ashland Creek Watershed Prehistory-1929. Reed College (2001): [Special Collections: F884.A78.M37x]
This student thesis examines the relationship between human cultures and natural landscapes in the Ashland Creek watershed of Southern Oregon. It introduces the idea of cultural ecology in the context of the Klamath-Siskiyou indigenous land use, the transformation of the watershed and these landscapes during European settlement and the mass market era, American imperial mythology concerning the political economy and environmental change, and mass-market trade in relation to environmental change and social climates.
4. Bear Creek Watershed Council & Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board. Ashland Watershed Assessment & Action Plan. Bear Creek Watershed Council & Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board. (2007): [Special Collections: Government Publications: OR G/W31 .2As3x]
The assessment of the Ashland and Neil Creek Watersheds documents their current and historical conditions. The assessment identifies social and physical processes within the watersheds that affect fish and riparian habitat, water quantity, water quality, and addresses local and urban issues such as soil conservation, erosion prevention, flood protection, and fish-friendly practices. The assessment also provides recommendations in the form of proposed action plans for how individuals and their communities can help restore watershed quality.
