Initial response of a mixed-conifer understory plant commnity to burning and thinning restoration treatments

Creator:: Wayman, Rebecca Bewley and North, Malcolm
Abstract:: Mechanical thinning and prescribed fire are widely used to restore western forests after a century of fire suppression, yet we know little about how these treatments affect understory communities where plant diversity is highest. We followed understory plants and environmental factors in old-growth, Sierran mixed conifer for two pre-treatment and...

Soil respiration response to experimental disturbances over 3 years

Creator:: Concilio, Amy, Ma, Siyan, Ryu, Soung-Ryoul, North, Malcolm, and Chen, Jiquan
Abstract:: Soil respiration is a major pathway for carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems yet little is known about its response to natural and anthropogenic disturbances. This study examined soil respiration response to prescribed burning and thinning treatments in an old-growth, mixedconifer forest on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains....

Stand conditions associated with tree regeneration in Sierran mixed-conifer forests

Creator:: Gray, Andrew N., Zald, Harold S.J., Kern, Ruth A., and North, Malcolm
Abstract:: Fire suppression has significantly increased canopy cover, litter depth, and stem density in many western forests, altering microsite conditions that affect tree seedling establishment. We conducted studies in a mixed-conifer forest in the Sierra Nevada, California, to determine relationships between established understory trees and microsite quality, and to examine the...

Influence of fire and El Nino on tree recruitment varies by species in Sierran mixed conifer

Creator:: North, Malcolm, Hurteau, Matthew, Fiegener, Robert, and Barbour, Michael
Abstract:: The influence of fire and climate events on age structure of different species was examined in old-growth mixed conifer in the southern Sierra Nevada. Within a 48-ha stem-mapped sample area, after a mechanical thinning, all stumps were examined for fire scars and 526 stumps were cut to ground level and...

Vegetation and ecological characteristics of mixed-conifer and Red Fir forests at the Teakettle Experimental Forest

Creator:: North, Malcolm, Oakley, Brian, Chen, Jiquan, Erickson, Heather, Gray, Andrew, Izzo, Antonio, Johnson, Dale, Ma, Siyan, Marra, Jim, Meyers, Marc, Purcell, Kathryn, Rambo, Tom, Rizzo, Dave, Roath, Brent, and Schowalter, Tim
Abstract:: Detailed analysis of mixed-conifer and red fir forests were made from extensive, large vegetation sampling, systematically conducted throughout the Teakettle Experimental Forest. Mixed conifer is characterized by distinct patch conditions of closed-canopy tree clusters, persistent gaps and shrub thickets. This heterogeneous spatial structure provides contrasting microclimate, habitat and resource conditions...
