Investigating Calving Areas for Rocky Mountain Elk on the Plumas National Forest: Implications for Land Management

Creator:: Marshall, Abigail C.
Abstract:: Sustainable elk (Cervus canadensis) habitat management on U.S. Forest Service (USFS) lands involves a complex relationship between management practices and ecological processes. A relatively novel Rocky Mountain elk population (Cervus canadensis nelsoni) on the Plumas National Forest (PNF) in northeastern California became established in the early 2000s, but there is...

An Interdisciplinary-Botanical Perspective for Cultural Resource Management: A Definition and the Application of Culturally Significant Plants in Identification, Interpretation, and Evaluation for the National Register of Historic Places

Creator:: Burk, Rene F.
Abstract:: Cultivated plants are often living artifacts that can aid in evaluation of historic or cultural landscapes. However, a working definition for “culturally significant plant” is currently lacking in the guidance literature for the cultural resource management practitioners. Based on a review of the literature on cultivated plants as indicators of...

Pacific marten occupancy and detection probability in relation to infrastructure and environmental factors in the southern Cascade Mountains

Creator:: Hill, Deborah J.
Abstract:: Humans benefit from being in nature and recreating, however outdoor recreation can negatively impact wildlife, including species of conservation concern such as the Pacific marten (Martes caurina). Densities of martens decline following intensive forest management activities, but impacts from recreation are relatively unstudied. My goal was to evaluate marten occupancy...

Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Avian Utilization and Community Composition in Willamette Valley Wetland Study Sites: A Comparative Analysis of Winter Seasons in 1995 and 2019

Creator:: Zimmerman, Marisa
Abstract:: Resident and migratory avifauna in the Willamette Valley, Oregon are heavily influenced by winter conditions and habitat characteristics, especially those of wetlands. As such, it is important to monitor avian communities and environmental factors at wetland sites within the Willamette Valley during winter. Using data from standardized avian point-count surveys,...

Assessing Post-fire Tree and Understory Vegetation Response to a Mixed-severity Fire Gradient in the Klamath Mts., Oregon, USA

Creator:: Terzioglu, Cihat
Abstract:: Severe wildfires are increasing in the western United States, impacting vegetation structure, and in turn, forest regeneration conditions. These wildfires are also raising a substantial amount of scientific and management concern regarding the resilience of forested ecosystems, or the ability of the ecosystem to return to a pre-fire condition. This...
