Challenges to Gray Wolf Recovery in Washington, Oregon, and Northern California

Creator:: Kriz, Matthew A.
Abstract:: Gray wolves (Canis lupus) are the most socially polarizing species listed under the Endangered Species Act. Wildlife management practices at local, state, and federal levels include lethal control to resolve stakeholder and wolf conflicts as a last resort. There is little experimental evidence that lethal control is effective in this...

Sustainable bio-composites for highway infrastructure: Feasibility of material substitution in existing products

Creator:: Karas, Michael and Muszynski, Lech
Abstract:: The U.S, Forest Service regularly removes tons of dead biomass from federal forestlands to control and prevent devastating wildfires. Every year thinning young trees and brush, as well as removing dead biomass from the forest floor generates large quantities of low-grade woody material for which there is little use. Currently...

Burning the legacy? Influence of wildfire reburn on dead wood dynamics in a temperate conifer forest

Creator:: Donato, Daniel C., Fontaine, Joseph B., and Campbell, John L.
Abstract:: Dynamics of dead wood, a key component of forest structure, are not well described for mixed-severity fire regimes with widely varying fire intervals. A prominent form of such variation is when two stand-replacing fires occur in rapid succession, commonly termed an early-seral “reburn.” These events are thought to strongly influence...

Wood-based Entrepreneurs Toolkit: Pricing Your Products and Services

Creator:: Geisel, Julian and Hansen, Eric
Abstract:: The success of your business will strongly depend on what price tag you attach to your products—and whether your customers are willing to pay this price. Hence your strategic marketing planning should include considerations about how to adequately price your products/services right at the start. After reading this publication, you...

National Recreation Trails: A Forgotten Designation

Creator:: Chavez, Deborah J., Harding, James A., and Tynon, Joanne F.
Abstract:: What value does federal designation add to open space resources that are not all federally owned and managed? Over the years the federal government, under the auspices of the National Park Service and USDA Forest Service, has designated trails across the United States as National Recreation Trails. A survey of...

A comparison of selected parametric and imputation methods for estimating snag density and snag quality attributes

Creator:: Eskelson, B. N. I., Temesgen, Hailemariam, and Hagar, J. C.
Abstract:: Snags (standing dead trees) are an essential structural component of forests. Because wildlife use of snags depends on size and decay stage, snag density estimation without any information about snag quality attributes is of little value for wildlife management decision makers. Little work has been done to develop models that...

Effects of ungulate herbivory on aspen, cottonwood, and willow development under forest fuels treatment regimes

Creator:: Endress, Bryan A., Wisdom, Michael J., Vavra, Martin, Parks, Catherine G., Dick, Brian L., Naylor, Bridgett J., and Boyd, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: Herbivory by domestic and wild ungulates can dramatically affect vegetation structure, composition and dynamics in nearly every terrestrial ecosystem of the world. These effects are of particular concern in forests of western North America, where intensive herbivory by native and domestic ungulates has the potential to substantially reduce or eliminate...

Observations and assessment of forest carbon dynamics following disturbance in North America

Creator:: Goetz, S. J., Bond-Lamberty, B., Law, B. E., Hicke, J. A., Huang, C., Houghton, R. A., McNulty, S., O'Halloran, T., Harmon, M., Meddens, A. J. H., Pfeifer, E. M., Mildrexler, D., and Kasischke, E. S.
Abstract:: Disturbance processes of various types substantially modify ecosystem carbon dynamics both temporally and spatially, and constitute a fundamental part of larger landscape-level dynamics. Forests typically lose carbon for several years to several decades following severe disturbance, but our understanding of the duration and dynamics of post-disturbance forest carbon fluxes remains...

Abstract:: The metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) predicts the effects of body size and temperature on metabolism through considerations of vascular distribution networks and biochemical kinetics. MTE has also been extended to characterise processes from cellular to global levels. MTE has generated both enthusiasm and controversy across a broad range of...

Genome resequencing reveals multiscale geographic structure and extensive linkage disequilibrium in the forest tree Populus trichocarpa

B., Douglas, Carl J., Strauss, Steven H., Rokhsar, Dan, and Tuskan, Gerald A.
Abstract:: •Plant population genomics informs evolutionary biology, breeding, conservation and bioenergy feedstock development. For example, the detection of reliable phenotype–genotype associations and molecular signatures of selection requires a detailed knowledge about genome-wide patterns of allele frequency variation, linkage disequilibrium and recombination. •We resequenced 16 genomes of the model tree Populus trichocarpa...
