Improving Forest Management in a Changing Climate with an Adaptive Management Framework: A Case Study in the Lake Tahoe Basin

Creator:

Perkins, Grant

Abstract:

Forest managers are faced with balancing a multitude of management objectives including social, economic, and ecological drivers as well as the uncertainty of how forests will grow and react to climate change. One possible tool to balance these drivers and the uncertainty of climate change is an adaptive management framework...

Capstone Project
Potential carbon storage at the landscape scale in the Pacific Northwest, U.S.A.

Creator:

Smithwick, Erica Ann Hoffa

Abstract:

Estimates of potential carbon (C) storage can be used to constrain predictions of future carbon sequestration and to understand the degree to which disturbances, both natural aid anthropogenic, affect C storage. An upper bound on C storage in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of the United States was estimated using field...

Dissertation
The effects of forest fuel reduction on fire severity and long-term carbon storage

Creator:

Mitchell, Stephen Richard

Abstract:

Two forest management objectives being debated in the context of federally managed landscapes in the US Pacific Northwest involve a perceived trade-off between fire restoration and C sequestration. The former strategy would reduce fuel (and therefore C) that has accumulated through a century of fire suppression and exclusion that has...
