  • Climate, management, and forest type influences on carbon dynamics of West-Coast US forests

    Creator:
    Hudiburg, Tara M.
    Abstract:
    Net uptake of carbon from the atmosphere (net ecosystem production, NEP) is dependent on climate, disturbance history, management practices, forest age, and forest type. To improve understanding of the influence of these factors on forest carbon flux in the western U.S., a combination of federal inventory data and supplemental ground...

  • Regional gradient analysis and spatial pattern of woody plant communities in Oregon

    Creator:
    Ohmann, Janet L.
    Abstract:
    Knowledge of regional-scale patterns of plant community structure and controlling factors is largely qualitative and based on numerous local studies. Data from a subsample of 10,000 field plots were used to quantify and map compositional gradients of woody plant communities across Oregon forests. Canonical correspondence analyses explained 9-14% of the...

  • Development of a hybrid modeling framework for intensively managed Douglas-fir plantations in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Weiskittel, Aaron R.
    Abstract:
    Forest growth models in the Pacific Northwest are predominantly empirical. Predictions of yield under alternative silvicultural regimes cannot rely completely on field trials; yet empirical growth models are often inadequate for extrapolating untested regimes and genotypes. The limitations of current models include (1) long time-steps (e.g. 5-10 years); (2) insufficient...
