Habitat relationships of small terrestrial vertebrates and invertebrates in managed forests in the southern Oregon Cascades

Creator:

McDade, Kirsten Ayn

Abstract:

Silviculture systems that involve commercial thinning may provide higher quality wildlife habitat than traditional clearcut systems, yet such systems have not been vigorously tested. This prospective study examined forest floor animal abundance and habitat relationships under three different silviculture conditions: clearcuts, commercial thins, and uncuts. Eighteen stands, six per treatment,...

Snag longevity, bird use of cavities, and conifer response across three silvicultural treatments in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

Walter, Scott T.

Abstract:

In the interest of meeting multiple forest management goals that include maintenance of wildlife, particularly cavity-nesting birds, uneven-aged silvicultural treatments are used increasingly in the Pacific Northwest. However, questions remain regarding the responses of cavity-nesting birds and residual green trees to different harvest intensities and patterns. To study these issues,...

Small mammal relationships with downed wood and antelope bitterbrush in ponderosa pine forests of central Oregon

Creator:

Smith, Troy G.

Abstract:

Downed wood and antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata) are often managed on federal ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests in central Oregon to prevent catastrophic wildfires and provide wildlife habitat. However, although much is known regarding the roles of downed wood and bitterbrush in wildfire behavior, little is known regarding the relationships...
