Evaluating the impacts of a classroom-based citizen science project on nature connectedness, science identity, and knowledge of curricular material

Creator:: Williams, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Environmental education programs seek to foster an appreciation for the natural world while introducing students to scientific thinking. Citizen science engages non-scientists in the systematic collection and analysis of data. The Betts Forest Landscape Ecology Lab combines both goals by inviting teachers in Corvallis, Oregon, and surrounding areas to participate...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Adapting to Climate Change on Western Public Lands: Addressing the Ecological Effects of Domestic, Wild, and Feral Ungulates

Creator:: Beschta, Robert L., Donahue, Deborah L., DellaSala, Dominick A., Rhodes, Jonathan J., Karr, James R., O'Brien, Mary H., Fleischner, Thomas L., and Deacon-Williams, Cindy
Abstract:: Climate change affects public land ecosystems and services throughout the American West and these effects are projected to intensify. Even if greenhouse gas emissions are reduced, adaptation strategies for public lands are needed to reduce anthropogenic stressors of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and to help native species and ecosystems survive...

Ecological effects of alternative fuel-reduction treatments: highlights of the National Fire and Fire Surrogate study (FFS)

Creator:: McIver, James D., Stephens, Scott L., Agee, James K., Barbour, Jamie, Boerner, Ralph E. J., Edminster, Carl B., Erickson, Karen L., Farris, Kerry L., Fettig, Christopher J., Fiedler, Carl E., Haase, Sally, Hart, Stephen C., Keeley, Jon E., Knapp, Eric E., Lehmkuhl, John F., Moghaddas, Jason J., Otrosina, William, Outcalt, Kenneth W., Schwilk, Dylan W., Skinner, Carl N., Waldrop, Thomas A., Weatherspoon, C. Phillip, Yaussy, Daniel A., Youngblood, Andrew, and Zack, Steve
Abstract:: The 12-site National Fire and Fire Surrogate study (FFS) was a multivariate experiment that evaluated ecological consequences of alternative fuel-reduction treatments in seasonally dry forests of the US. Each site was a replicated experiment with a common design that compared an un-manipulated control, prescribed fire, mechanical and mechanical + fire...

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...
