Overstory density and disturbance impacts on the resilience of coniferous forests of western Oregon

Creator:

Neill, Andrew R.

Abstract:

A trait based approach was used to assess impacts of overstory density and thinning on understory vegetation components related to wildlife habitat. The relationship between overstory basal area and understory vegetation for species grouped by traits, such as production of flowers, fleshy-fruit and palatable leaves, was characterized in thinned and...
