  • Relationship between landscape structure and avian abundance patterns in the Oregon Coast Range

    Creator:
    McGarigal, Kevin
    Abstract:
    Human-induced fragmentation of forests is increasing, yet the consequences of these landscape changes to vertebrate communities are poorly understood. Despite progress in our understanding of how bird communities respond to forest fragmentation caused by agricultural or urban development, we have little understanding of these dynamics in landscapes undergoing intensive forest...

  • The ecological legacy of Indian burning practices in southwestern Oregon

    Creator:
    Carloni, Kenneth R.
    Abstract:
    Two research questions are posed: (1) How have ecosystem conditions changed through time in southwestern Oregon? (2) How have culture-driven and climate-driven processes contributed to ecosystem change in southwestern Oregon? A brief introduction to the Little River study area is followed by a cultural and ecological history of the watershed....

  • The landscape ecology of secondary tropical forest in montane Costa Rica

    Creator:
    Helmer, Eileen Hoey
    Abstract:
    Previous difficulties mapping tropical forest successional stage with satellite imagery may be one of the reasons why little is known about what socioeconomic and biophysical factors control tropical secondary forest pattern over landscapes. Additional remote sensing challenges occur in regions with steep topography, because the spectral responses of land covers...
