  • 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...

    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...

  • 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 analysis of tree maintenance responsibility in California municipalities – do tree ordinances help or hinder urban tree canopy distribution?

    Creator:
    Franco, Yael
    Abstract:
    As urban populations increase, the presence of well-maintained trees provide a cost-effective solution to combat the effects of climate change, specifically the urban heat island effect. Unfortunately, the associated ecological, social and economic benefits of trees are not distributed equitably in the landscape due to lingering effects of redlining policies....
