Regional variation in stand structure and development in forests of Oregon, Washington, and inland Northern California

Creator:: Reilly, Matthew J. and Spies, Thomas A.
Abstract:: Despite its importance to biodiversity and ecosystem function, patterns and drivers of regional scale variation in forest structure and development are poorly understood. We characterize structural variation, create a hierarchical classification of forest structure, and develop an empirically based framework for conceptualizing structural development from 11,091 plots across 25 million...

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...

An individual-based process model to simulate landscape-scale forest ecosystem dynamics

Creator:: Seidl, Rupert, Rammer, Werner, Scheller, Robert M., and Spies, Thomas A.
Abstract:: Forest ecosystem dynamics emerges from nonlinear interactions between adaptive biotic agents (i.e., individual trees) and their relationship with a spatially and temporally heterogeneous abiotic environment. Understanding and predicting the dynamics resulting from these complex interactions is crucial for the sustainable stewardship of ecosystems, particularly in the context of rapidly changing...

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...

Above- and belowground controls on water use by trees of different wood types in an eastern US deciduous forest

Creator:: Meinzer, Frederick C., Woodruff, David R., Eissenstat, David M., Lin, Henry S., Adams, Thomas S., and McCulloh, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Stomata control tree transpiration by sensing and integrating environmental signals originating in the atmosphere and soil, and co-occurring species may differ in inherent stomatal sensitivity to these above- and belowground signals and in the types of signals to which they respond. Stomatal responsiveness to environmental signals is likely to differ...

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...
