Population and behavioral responses of small mammals to silviculture and downed wood treatments in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

Waldien, David L.

Abstract:

Forest managers are challenged to provide timber revenues and other resources for society while protecting and enhancing components of biodiversity that are often associated with older forests or older forest structure, such as dead wood. We examined small mammal response to timber harvest in stands 8-10 years following group-selection, two-story,...

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,...
