The effects of thinning on forest-floor small mammals in the Coast Range of Oregon

Creator:

Larson, David J.

Abstract:

Thinning of young Douglas-fir forests has the potential to enhance structural diversity and improve habitat for wildlife. I examined the effects of thinning and thinning intensity on abundance and demographic characteristics of forest-floor small mammals in the Coast Range of Oregon 5 and 6 years after thinning had occurred. Thinning...

Selected life history aspects and habitat use by Merriam's wild turkeys in Oregon

Creator:

Lutz, Robert Scott

Abstract:

Habitat use and reproductive success by Merriam's wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo merriami) were studied in Wasco County, Oregon, during 1981-82. This low density turkey population selectively used forested cover types characterized by a variety of structural features, species, and age classes. They avoided monotypic forested cover types, used non-forested cover...

Effects of thinning on forest-floor vertebrates and analysis of habitat associations along ecological gradients in Oregon coastal Douglas-fir forests

Creator:

Suzuki, Nobuya

Abstract:

Thinning has the potential to increase structural diversity of managed forests for wildlife. During 1994-1996, I conducted experimental and observational studies using pitfall trapping to assess short-term and potential long-term effects of thinning on abundance and reproduction of forest-floor vertebrates in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menzeisii) forests of the Oregon Coast Range....
