Creator:: Sorensen, NaDene S.
Abstract:: We evaluated the regeneration behavior and early growth rates of 10 non-pioneer canopy tree species in medium-height, semi-evergreen dry tropical forest in Quintana Roo, Mexico. These species provide timber and non-timber forest products for local communities and include evergreen and deciduous species with varied dispersal mechanisms. The species were Coccoloba...

Creator:: Schroeder, Todd A.
Abstract:: To effectively study dynamic processes like forest succession over long time periods one must effectively integrate data collected at many different times, locations and spatial scales. The purpose of this research is to integrate forest inventory data collected by the USDA Forest Service’s Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Program with...

Creator:: Pypker, Thomas G.
Abstract:: Canopy structure has a significant impact on the canopy hydrology of Douglas-fir forests in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Whole canopy rainfall interception was measured for young Douglas-fir forest and compared to an old-growth Douglas-fir forest. The old-growth forest had significantly greater canopy water storage capacity (5) and direct throughfall fraction...
