The effects of forest fuel reduction on fire severity and long-term carbon storage

Creator:

Mitchell, Stephen Richard

Abstract:

Two forest management objectives being debated in the context of federally managed landscapes in the US Pacific Northwest involve a perceived trade-off between fire restoration and C sequestration. The former strategy would reduce fuel (and therefore C) that has accumulated through a century of fire suppression and exclusion that has...

Competition release and climate change effects on a moisture-demanding tree species in a dry system

Creator:

Seager, S. Trent

Abstract:

Climate change and the increase in meteorological drought have generated global concern over the persistence of ecosystems already in decline from decreased moisture. Evidence suggests dryland ecosystems have been more impacted by drought because of their tightly coupled growth-water relationships and high sensitivity to environmental shift. Removal of competing vegetation...

Disturbance and dynamics of riparian forests in southwestern Oregon

Creator:

Messier, Michael S.

Abstract:

Fire exclusion has been associated with structural and compositional changes in many upland forests of the western United States, but little is known about the impacts on riparian forests, portions of the landscape protected for habitat and water quality. For this study, I characterized the historic disturbance and tree recruitment...
