Modelling Early-Seral Vegetation Dynamics Using Climate and Soil Moisture

Creator:

Guevara, Claudio A.

Abstract:

Forest plantations in the Pacific Northwest are highly productive and have been intensively managed to maximize tree growth with practices such as Forest Vegetation Management (FVM). Different FVM regimes have been shown to enhance forest establishment by reducing the competition between the planted seedlings and early-seral vegetation. To better understand...

Long-term Effects of Vegetation Management on Biomass Stock and Aboveground Net Primary Productivity of Four Coniferous Species in the PNW

Creator:

Flamenco, Herman N., Jr.

Abstract:

Forest vegetation management (FVM) is an important component of reforestation in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Several studies have demonstrated the benefits of vegetation management on planted conifer growth and survival. However, few reports have been published on the long-term effects of FVM treatments on total ecosystem biomass accumulation and aboveground...
