Formalizing decisions: A case study on collaborative zones of agreement

Creator:: Nuss, Meagan and Davis, Emily Jane
Abstract:: We conducted a case study of the process for developing ZOA created by the Blue Mountains Forest Partners (BMFP), a collaborative group established in 2006 and focused on the northern portion of the Malheur National Forest in Grant County. This group was one of the first to formalize their ZOA,...

Forest-floor Disturbance Reduces Chipmunk (Tamias spp.) Abundance Two Years after Variable-retention Harvest of Pacific Northwestern Forests

Creator:: Wilk, Randall J., Harrington, Timothy B., Gitzen, Robert A., and Maguire, Chris C.
Abstract:: We evaluated the two-year effects of variable-retention harvest on chipmunk (Tamias spp.) abundance (Nˆ ) and habitat in mature coniferous forests in western Oregon and Washington because wildlife responses to density/pattern of retained trees remain largely unknown. In a randomized complete-block design, six treatments were applied to 13-ha units at...

Bird Abundance and Microhabitat Associations with Oak Mistletoe in Willamette Valley Oak Woodlands

Creator:: Pritchard, Kyle R.
Abstract:: In the last 200 years there have been significant declines in the amount and structural complexity of oak-dominated forests and savannahs in the Pacific Northwest. Restoring oak systems often involves selectively thinning stands of oaks in order to reduce competition for sunlight. In choosing which trees to cut, land managers...

(Re)claiming forestry : a case study of women's empowerment

Creator:: Redmore, Lauren E.
Abstract:: Nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) owners control a significant portion of forestland nationwide. Even though women own or manage NIPF lands, we know very little about how women manage forestland and what barriers women face in forest management. In addition, while there are several forestry organizations available to NIPF owners, few...

Are Bird Habitat Associations Consistent Across Space and Time?

Creator:: Rousseau, Josée S.
Abstract:: The concept of the fundamental niche is frequently used in ecology to define the set of environmental conditions needed by a species to survive and reproduce (Hutchinson 1957). In contrast, the realized niche constitutes the locations where a species actually occurred, which is a function of both the environmental (abiotic)...

Equity in Community Forestry in the Western US

Creator:: McCaskill, Lauren S.
Abstract:: Community forestry is a decentralized form of forest governance that is widely promoted around the world. In the United States, community forestry is growing as a form of forest management, and exists across a range of ownership and governance models, all with different levels of community participation and access to...

Precipitation and winter temperature predict long-term range-scale abundance changes in Western North American birds

Creator:: Illán, Javier Gutiérrez, Thomas, Chris D., Jones, Julia A., Wong, Weng-Keen, Shirley, Susan M., and Betts, Matthew G.
Abstract:: Predicting biodiversity responses to climate change remains a difficult challenge, especially in climatically complex regions where precipitation is a limiting factor. Though statistical climatic envelope models are frequently used to project future scenarios for species distributions under climate change, these models are rarely tested using empirical data. We used long-term...

Multi-scale spatial controls of understory vegetation in Douglas-fir–western hemlock forests of western Oregon, USA

Creator:: Burton, Julia I., Ganio, Lisa M., and Puettmann, Klaus J.
Abstract:: Forest understory vegetation is influenced by broad-scale variation in climate, intermediate-scale variation in topography, disturbance and neighborhood interactions. However, little is known about how these multi-scale controls interact to influence observed spatial patterns. We examined relationships between the aggregated cover of understory plant species (%C[subscript U]) and multi-scale controls using...

Post-fire tree establishment and early cohort development in conifer forests of the western Cascades of Oregon, USA

Creator:: Tepley, Alan J., Swanson, Frederick J., and Spies, Thomas A.
Abstract:: Early‐seral ecosystems make important contributions to regional biodiversity by supporting high abundance and diversity of many plant and animal species that are otherwise rare or absent from closed‐canopy forests. Therefore, the period of post‐fire tree establishment is a key stage in forest stand and ecosystem development that can be viewed...

Understanding Citizen Advisory Boards : A National Census of Tree Boards

Creator:: Greenleaf, Sarah (Sarah Maleno)
Abstract:: Effective management of urban forests is vital to society due to the numerous ecological, economic, and social benefits they provide. In many cities, management efforts are commonly supported by citizen advisory groups, which are often generically referred to as “tree boards” within the urban forestry context. Very little is known...
