The role of strategic planning in the management of fire-prone western Oregon forests for maximizing terrestrial carbon stocks over a 100-year horizon

Creator:

Vanderberg, Michael R.

Abstract:

Current frameworks for analyzing forest carbon offset projects in disturbance-prone western forests often fail to address the dynamic nature of carbon pathways through time. They do not account for the probability of loss due to wildfire, which can influence the prediction of carbon storage at the end of a planning...

, 2011. Title: The Role of Strategic Planning in the Management of Fire-prone Western Oregon Forests
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...
