Microclimate variables such as air temperature and relative humidity influence habitat conditions and ecological processes
in riparian forests. The increased relative humidity levels within riparian areas are essential for many plant and wildlife
species. Information about relative humidity patterns within riparian areas and adjacent uplands are necessary for the
prescription...
• Aims: Six sampling alternatives were examined for their ability to quantify selected attributes of snags and hardwoods in conifer-dominated riparian areas of managed headwater forests in western Oregon.
• Methods: Each alternative was simulated 500 times at eight headwater forest locations based on a 0.52-ha square stem map. The...
Les modèles de prédiction du microclimat pour différentes conditions de station dans les zones riveraines boisées
des cours d’eau de tête de bassin sont peu développés et les procédures d’échantillonnage pour caractériser les gradients
sous-jacents du microclimat riverain sont rares. Nous avons utilisé des données de microclimat riverain collectées le...
Sixteen sampling alternatives were examined for their performance to quantify selected attributes of overstory conifers in riparian areas of western Oregon. Each alternative was examined at eight headwater forest locations based on a 0.52 ha square stem maps. The alternatives were evaluated for selected stand attributes (trees per hectare, basal...
