From the forest to the sea : a story of fallen trees

Creator:: Maser, Chris, Tarrant, Robert F., Trappe, James M., and Franklin, Jerry F.
Abstract:: Large fallen trees in various stages of decay contribute much-needed diversity of ecological processes to terrestrial, aquatic, estuarine, coastal beach, and open ocean habitats in the Pacific Northwest. Intensive utilization and management can deprive these habitats of large fallen trees. The publication presents sound information for managers making resource management...

Tamm Review: Management of mixed-severity fire regime forests in Oregon, Washington, and Northern California

Creator:: Hessburg, Paul F., Spies, Thomas A., Perry, David A., Skinner, Carl N., Taylor, Alan H., Brown, Peter M., Stephens, Scott L., Larson, Andrew J., Churchill, Derek J., Povak, Nicholas A., Singleton, Peter H., McComb, Brenda, Zielinski, William J., Collins, Brandon M., Salter, R. Brion, Keane, John J., Franklin, Jerry F., and Riegel, Greg
Abstract:: Increasingly, objectives for forests with moderate- or mixed-severity fire regimes are to restore successionally diverse landscapes that are resistant and resilient to current and future stressors. Maintaining native species and characteristic processes requires this successional diversity, but methods to achieve it are poorly explained in the literature. In the Inland...

Natural vegetation of Oregon and Washington

Creator:: Franklin, Jerry F. and Dyrness, C. T.
Abstract:: Revised edition of the author's "Vegetation of Oregon and Washington", originally published by the U.S. Forest Service in 1973. Reprinted with new bibliographic supplement by the OSU Press in 1988.

Facilitative and competive effects of a N-fixing shrub on white fir saplings

Creator:: Oakley, Brian B., North, Malcolm P., and Franklin, Jerry F.
Abstract:: In Sierra Nevada forests, shrubs are considered strong soil moisture competitors with regenerating trees, reducing seedling establishment, and slowing growth. Recent studies, however, suggest that in some circumstances shrubs can facilitate tree establishment and growth by modifying harsh microclimate conditions; increasing acquisition of water, carbon, and/or nutrients via shared mycorrhizal...

The effects of fire on soil nitrogen associated with patches of the actinorhizal shrub Ceanothus cordulatus

Creator:: Oakley, Brian B., North, Malcolm P., and Franklin, Jerry F.
Abstract:: Nitrogen is a limiting resource in many temperate forests and nitrogen-fixing plants are usually limited to the early stages of post-disturbance succession. In fire-dependent Sierra Nevada forests, however, Ceanothus cordulatus is relatively abundant even in old-growth forest conditions which are at least partly maintained by fire.We conducted a field experiment...

Managing fire-prone forests in the western United States

Creator:: Noss, Reed F., Franklin, Jerry F., Baker, William L., Schoennagel, Tania, and Moyle, Peter B.
Abstract:: The management of fire-prone forests is one of the most controversial natural resource issues in the US today, particularly in the west of the country. Although vegetation and wildlife in these forests are adapted to fire, the historical range of fire frequency and severity was huge. When fire regimes are...

Beyond smoke and mirrors: a synthesis of fire policy and science

Creator:: Dellasala, Dominick A., Williams, Jack E., Deacon Williams, Cindy, and Franklin, Jerry F.
Abstract:: Fire performs many beneficial ecosystem functions in dry forests and rangelands across much of North America. In the last century, however, the role of fire has been dramatically altered by numerous anthropogenic factors acting as root causes of the current fire crisis, including widespread logging, road building, fire suppression, habitat...

Diversity and distribution of Frankia strains symbiotic with Ceanothus in California

Creator:: Oakley, Brian, North, Malcolm, Franklin, Jerry F., Hedlund, Brian P., and Staley, James T.
Abstract:: Frankia strains symbiotic with Ceanothus present an interesting opportunity to study the patterns and causes of Frankia diversity and distribution within a particular host infectivity group. We intensively sampled Frankia from nodules on Ceanothus plants along an elevational gradient in the southern Sierra Nevada of California, and we also collected...
