(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...

Identifying site characteristics that explain variation in Douglas-fir site productivity and stem form

Creator:: Magalska, Lauren E.
Abstract:: Foresters care about site productivity and stem quality in Douglas-fir plantations for many reasons. The profitability of forest land and the economic returns on silvicultural investments are directly related to site productivity. Thus, understanding the relationships among Douglas-fir productivity, stem form and site characteristics is important economically. My objective was...

HJA Day experiences : understanding participant outcomes at a non-formal science education event

Creator:: Remenick, Lauren
Abstract:: For adult learners to succeed in their educational endeavors, adult educators and event planners must meet their needs and goals (Storksdieck, Ellenbogen, & Heimlich, 2005). The learning environment affects how adults learn and what outcomes they achieve (e.g., Hamilton & Tee, 2010; Knowles, 1990; Lim, Morris, & Kupritz, 2007; Young,...

Drivers and Impacts of a Recent Annual Grass Invasion: Ventenata dubia and Fire in the Inland Northwest

Creator:: Tortorelli, Claire M.
Abstract:: Biological invasions threaten native biodiversity, alter ecosystem function, and are a major cause of economic losses across the planet. The most impactful invaders alter disturbance regimes and initiate state shifts to outside the historical range of variability of the ecosystem. Concern for ecological and economic losses has prompted a rapid...

Is Cover Type Use by Dabbling Ducks at Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge, Arkansas, Related to Energy Availability?

Creator:: Kreisler, Skye E.
Abstract:: Managers of U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) in central Arkansas want to provide sufficient habitat resources to meet its population objectives for wintering waterfowl. Nutrient reserves acquired during the wintering period appear to support spring migration and subsequent reproductive success for some species,...

Equity in Resilience: Wildfire in the Rogue River Basin

Creator:: Sloan, Emma E.
Abstract:: Forced removal of Indigenous communities and subsequent colonial forest management have led to landscape homogenization, fuel abundance, conifer encroachment, and, therefore, a loss of forest and fire resilience in the Western US. This loss of forest and fire resilience leads to a loss of social resilience as forested communities struggle...

Exploring Advancements in Rural Equity and Prosperity in the Oregon Labor-Intensive Forest Industry: The Practical Application of Transdisciplinarity and Science Communication

Creator:: Alessi, Gianna
Abstract:: Disproportionate exposure to exploitative working conditions, social marginalization, and a lack of equitable living conditions are among the many issues that migrant Latinx populations face daily in the United States. However, such issues cannot be addressed by relying solely on traditional academic research approaches without the participation and direction of...

Early genetic selection for wood stiffness in juvenile Douglas-fir and western hemlock

Creator:: Urhan, Oguz S.
Abstract:: Wood modulus of elasticity (MOE), also known as wood stiffness, is one of the most important wood properties. Wood stiffness is a measure of the resistance to deflection, and is important because some products such as laminated veneer lumber, plywood, and dimension lumber require stiff and strong wood. Incorporating wood...

A Political Ecology Lens for the Nutrition Transition in Rural, Kedougou, Senegal

Creator:: Lucey, Taylor K.
Abstract:: The nutrition transition is a global phenomenon in which populations move from low socioeconomic status (SES) to high SES and from high physical activity to low physical activity. Rising rates of urbanization and non-communicable diseases in West Africa may indicate an advanced phase of the nutrition transition; however, through a...
