A Severity Rating System for Evaluating Stand-Level Balsam Woolly Adelgid (Hemiptera: Adelgidae) Damage in Two Abies Species in Western North America

Creator:: Hrinkevich, Kathryn H., Progar, Robert A., and Shaw, David C.
Abstract:: Severity rating systems are fundamental to understanding the impacts of disturbance agents in forest stands. The balsam woolly adelgid (BWA), Adelges piceae (Ratzeburg) (Hemiptera: Adelgidae), is an invasive forest pest in North America that infests and causes mortality in true fir, Abies spp. There is currently no single system for...

Forest Carbon Calculators: A Review for Managers, Policymakers, and Educators

Creator:: Zald, Harold S. J., Spies, Thomas A., Harmon, Mark E., and Twery, Mark J.
Abstract:: Forests play a critical role sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide, partially offsetting greenhouse gas emissions, and thereby mitigating climate change. Forest management, natural disturbances, and the fate of carbon in wood products strongly influence carbon sequestration and emissions in the forest sector. Government policies, carbon offset and trading programs, and sustainable...

Performance of the Forest Vegetation Simulator in Managed White Spruce Plantations Influenced by Eastern Spruce Budworm in Northern Minnesota

Creator:: Russell, Matthew B., D'Amato, Anthony W., Albers, Michael A., Puettmann, Klaus J., Woodall, Christopher W., Saunders, Michael R., and VanderSchaaf, Curtis L.
Abstract:: Silvicultural strategies such as thinning may minimize productivity losses from a variety of forest disturbances, including forest insects. This study analyzed the 10-year postthinning response of stands and individual trees in thinned white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss) plantations in northern Minnesota, USA, with light to moderate defoliation from eastern...

Soil Matters: Improving Forest Landscape Planning and Management for Diverse Objectives with Soils Information and Expertise

Creator:: Craigg, Terry L., Adams, Paul W., and Bennett, Karen A.
Abstract:: Most forest managers would agree that soils are a fundamental resource of forestlands, yet many planning and management decisions continue to be made without a detailed and spatially explicit understanding of this unique and vital resource. We discuss the value of soil data and interpretations in forest planning. We emphasize...

A Call to Improve Methods for Estimating Tree Biomass for Regional and National Assessments

Creator:: Weiskittel, Aaron R., MacFarlane, David W., Radtke, Philip J., Affleck, David L.R., Temesgen, Hailemariam, Woodall, Christopher W., Westfall, James A., and Coulston, John W.
Abstract:: Tree biomass is typically estimated using statistical models. This review highlights five limitations of most tree biomass models, which include the following: (1) biomass data are costly to collect and alternative sampling methods are used; (2) belowground data and models are generally lacking; (3) models are often developed from small...

Categorizing the Social Context of the Wildland Urban Interface: Adaptive Capacity for Wildfire and Community "Archetypes"

Creator:: Paveglio, Travis B., Moseley, Cassandra, Carroll, Matthew S., Williams, Daniel R., Davis, Emily Jane, and Fischer, A. Paige
Abstract:: Understanding the local context that shapes collective response to wildfire risk continues to be a challenge for scientists and policymakers. This study utilizes and expands on a conceptual approach for understanding adaptive capacity to wildfire in a comparison of 18 past case studies. The intent is to determine whether comparison...

Whole-Tree Bark and Wood Properties of Loblolly Pine from Intensively Managed Plantations

Creator:: Antony, Finto, Schimleck, Laurence R., Daniels, Richard F., Clark, Alexander, Borders, Bruce E., Kane, Michael B., and Burkhart, Harold E.
Abstract:: A study was conducted to identify geographical variation in loblolly pine bark and wood properties at the whole-tree level and to quantify the responses in whole-tree bark and wood properties following contrasting silvicultural practices that included planting density, weed control, and fertilization. Trees were destructively sampled from both conventionally managed...

Multiscale Controls on Natural Regeneration Dynamics after Partial Overstory Removal in Douglas-Fir Forests in Western Oregon, USA

Creator:: Dodson, Erich K., Burton, Julia I., and Puettmann, Klaus J.
Abstract:: We examined natural regeneration following operational-scale variable density retention treatments in 40-60 year old Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) forests at seven sites for a decade following treatment. Treatments included residual overstory densities of 300, 200, and 100 trees/ha, with leave islands and gaps of three sizes (0.1, 0.2, and...

Management of Riparian Buffers: Upslope Thinning with Downslope Impacts

Creator:: Ruzicka, Kenneth J., Jr., Puettmann, Klaus J., and Olson, Deanna H.
Abstract:: We examined the potential of using upslope density management to influence growth and drought tolerance of trees in untreated downslope riparian forests. Increment cores from Douglas-fir trees in three mature stands in western Oregon, USA, were collected and measured. Trees responded to an apparent edge effect up to 15 m...

Applied Chemical Ecology of the Mountain Pine Beetle

Creator:: Progar, Robert A., Gillette, Nancy, Fettig, Christopher J., and Hrinkevich, Kathryn
Abstract:: Mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, is a primary agent of forest disturbance in western North America. Episodic outbreaks occur at the convergence of favorable forest age and size class structure and climate patterns. Recent outbreaks have exceeded the historic range of variability of D. ponderosae-caused tree mortality affecting ecosystem...
