Fire Refugia Function and Composition in Dry Mixed-Conifer Forests of Oregon’s Blue Mountains

Creator:: Downing, William M.
Abstract:: Contemporary fire effects are raising concerns about the resistance and resilience of dry mixed-conifer forests to large wildfires. Fire refugia – unburned or low-severity patches within fire perimeters – are understudied components of post-fire mosaics that may be key drivers of forest recovery following high-severity fire. Little is known about...

An interdisciplinary framework for evaluating 19th century landscape paintings for ecological research

Creator:: Warren, Dana R., Loeb, Harper M., Betjemann, Peter, Munck, Isabel A., Keeton, William S., Shaw, David C., and Harvey, Eleanor J.
Abstract:: As we contemplate the future of forest landscapes under changing climate conditions and land-use demands, there is increasing value in studying historic forest conditions and how these landscapes have changed following past disturbances. Historic landscape paintings are a potential source of data on preindustrial forests with highly detailed, full-color depictions...

Experimental evidence that simplified forest structure interacts with snow cover to influence functional connectivity for Pacific martens

Creator:: Moriarty, Katie M., Epps, Clinton W., Betts, Matthew G., Hance, Dalton J., Bailey, J. D., and Zielinski, William J.
Abstract:: Context: Functional connectivity—the facilitation of individual movements among habitat patches—is essential for species’ persistence in fragmented landscapes. Evaluating functional connectivity is critical for predicting range shifts, developing conservation plans, and anticipating effects of disturbance, especially for species affected by climate change. Objectives: We examined whether simplifying forest structure influenced animal...

New North American truffles (Tuber spp.) and their ectomycorrhizal associations

Creator:: Guevara, Gonzalo, Bonito, Gregory, Trappe, James M., Cazares, Efren, Williams, Gwendolyn, Healy, Rosanne A., Schadt, Christopher, and Vilgalys, Rytas
Abstract:: Recent surveys of belowground fungal biodiversity in Mexico and USA have revealed many undescribed truffle species, including many in the genus Tuber. Here we describe seven new species: Tuber beyerlei, T. castilloi, T. guevarai, T. lauryi, T. mexiusanum, T. miquihuanense and T. walkeri. Phylogenetic analyses place these species within the...

Cloud shading and fog drip influence the metabolism of a coastal pine ecosystem

Creator:: Carbone, Mariah S., Williams, A. Park, Ambrose, Anthony R., Boot, Claudia M., Bradley, Eliza S., Dawson, Todd E., Schaeffer, Sean M., Schimel, Joshua P., and Still, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Assessing the ecological importance of clouds has substantial implications for our basic understanding of ecosystems and for predicting how they will respond to a changing climate. This study was conducted in a coastal Bishop pine forest ecosystem that experiences regular cycles of stratus cloud cover and inundation in summer. Our...

Spatial patterns and trends of summertime low cloudiness for the Pacific Northwest, 1996-2017

Creator:: Dye, Alex W., Rastogi, Bharat, Clemesha, Rachel E. S., Kim, John B., Samelson, Roger M., Still, Christopher J., and Williams, A. Park
Abstract:: Summertime low clouds are common in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), but spatiotemporal patterns have not been characterized. We show the first maps of low cloudiness for the western PNW and North Pacific Ocean using a 22‐year satellite‐derived record of monthly mean low cloudiness frequency for May through September and supplemented...

Carnivore conservation needs evidence-based livestock protection

Creator:: van Eeden, Lily M., Eklund, Ann, Miller, Jennifer R. B., Lopez-Bao, Jose Vicente, Chapron, Guillaume, Cejtin, Mikael R., Crowther, Mathew S., Dickman, Christopher R., Frank, Jens, Krofel, Miha, Macdonald, David W., McManus, Jeannine, Meyer, Tara K., Middleton, Arthur D., Newsome, Thomas M., Ripple, William J., Ritchie, Euan G., Schmitz, Oswald J., Stoner, Kelly J., Tourani, Mahdieh, and Treves, Adrian
Abstract:: Carnivore predation on livestock often leads people to retaliate. Persecution by humans has contributed strongly to global endangerment of carnivores. Preventing livestock losses would help to achieve three goals common to many human societies: preserve nature, protect animal welfare, and safeguard human livelihoods. Between 2016 and 2018, four independent reviews...

Abstract:: It is well established that individual organisms can acclimate and adapt to temperature to optimize their functioning. However, thermal optimization of ecosystems, as an assemblage of organisms, has not been examined at broad spatial and temporal scales. Here, we compiled data from 169 globally distributed sites of eddy covariance and...
