Biodiversity Responses in Early Seral Forests of the Klamath-Siskiyou: Comparisons with Birds, Bees, and Ground Beetles among Post-fire, Salvage Logging, and Intensive Forest Management Environments

Creator:: Frank, Graham S.
Abstract:: Early seral forests regenerating from stand-replacing disturbances provide unique habitat for many species in productive, temperate forest landscapes and contribute to supporting biodiversity. Population declines in some species associated with early seral forests have prompted concerns about the conservation of these habitats, particularly the characteristic structural and compositional complexity associated...

Experiencing Restoration-Focused Forestry

Creator:: Dwyer, Michael
Abstract:: The practice of modern silviculture on U.S. public lands has been stymied by a legacy of litigation and policy changes since the late 20th century. Forestry in the 1980s was focused on physical science strategies and failed to consider the social complexities of multi-use forest management. Emblematic of the challenges...

Beargrass (Xerophyllum tenax) in decline? An investigation into Region 6 harvest volumes

Creator:: Pape, Brianda
Abstract:: Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) have an extensive history of harvest in the United States. The Pacific Northwest is well-reputed as a major source of floral greens for international markets. One NTFP in particular, beargrass (Xerophyllum tenax), has been repeatedly identified as a prominent, high-value species in the floral greens industry...

The Mountain Pine Beetle, Climate Change and Sustainable Forestry in the Northern Rocky Mountain

Creator:: Gillen, Amanda
Abstract:: Mountain pine beetles (MPB) have killed millions of acres of forest throughout the Rocky Mountain ecoregion in the United States and Canada and climate change may be intensifying outbreaks. Climate change can change forest ecosystems and dynamics by increasing drought conditions and intensifying heat waves. Due to changing climate conditions,...

An examination of climate and land-use change as drivers of population dynamics in breeding birds

Creator:: Kim, Hankyu
Abstract:: Anthropogenic land-cover change and climate change are the major drivers of the steep loss of avian biodiversity in past decades. Loss of avian biodiversity is predicted to result in the reduction of ecosystem services and ecological functions. Identifying avian population changes and the drivers of these trajectories is essential for...

Case Study: Pisgah Nantahala National Forest Plan Revision and American Ginseng Management

Creator:: Swartz, Shawn C.
Abstract:: The Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests (PNNF) are located in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. A center of biological diversity, they are also within a few hours’ drive of much of the population of the United States. Therefore, there are many desires and objectives the public has for how these national...

What do people think about genetically engineering trees? A qualitative inquiry to understand how people reason about using forest biotechnology to address forest health threats

Creator:: Emery, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: Climate change is increasing the severity of pest and pathogen infestations affecting forests. Resulting shifts in disturbance patterns can have substantial ecological, social, and economic impacts on forested ecosystems and their dependent communities. Researchers are actively investigating methods to improve tree resistance to specific pests and pathogens and enhance forest...

On Morality, Psychology, and Conservation: An Interdisciplinary Appraisal of Ethics in Context

Creator:: Batavia, Chelsea K.
Abstract:: Conservation is, among other things, the expression of a relationship between humans and nonhuman nature. This relationship can be described empirically using the methods of social science, but it can also be prescribed in the form of philosophical arguments. Scholars in the field of environmental ethics have discussed and debated...

Ecosystem Photosynthesis and Forest-Atmosphere Interactions Inferred from Carbonyl Sulfide

Creator:: Rastogi, Bharat
Abstract:: An increase in anthropogenic activities since the industrial revolution, primarily due to burning of fossil fuels and changes in land cover, has resulted in a steady increase in the global mean atmospheric CO2 concentrations. While there is unequivocal scientific evidence on global warming and its multidimensional impacts on natural and...

A Multi-Spatial Scale Economic Analysis of the Impacts of Bear Damage to Douglas-fir on Private Timberlands in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Kline, Kristina N.
Abstract:: Black bears (Ursus americanus) in western Oregon and Washington peel bark from conifers in early spring to forage on the sugar-rich phloem and cambial tissues. This provides important energy at a time when similarly attractive forage is scarce. Bears often damage Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) trees in stands that are intensively...
