Forest ecosystems are removing significant amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. Both abiotic resource availability and biotic interactions during forest succession affect C accumulation rates and maximum C stocks. However, the timing and controls on the peak and decline in C accumulation rates as stands age, trees increase in size,...

Data from large-scale biological inventories are essential for understanding and managing Earth's ecosystems.
The Forest Inventory and Analysis Program (FIA) of the U.S. Forest Service is the largest biological inventory in
North America; however, the FIA inventory recently changed from an amalgam of different approaches to a
nationally-standardized approach in...

The National Forest System (NFS) of the United States plays an important role in the carbon cycle because
these lands make up a large proportion of the forested land in the country and commonly store more wood
per unit area than other forest ownerships. In addition to sustaining natural resources,...

Oregon has done remarkably well in preserving forests, farms, and rangeland from development. Ninety-seven percent of all non-Federal land in Oregon that was in resource land uses in 1974 remained in those uses in 2014. Ninety-nine percent of all non-Federal land in Oregon that was in resource land uses in...
Determining how the frequency, severity, and extent of forest fires are changing in response to changes in management and climate is a key concern in many regions where fire is an important natural disturbance. In the USA the only national-scale fire severity classification uses satellite image change-detection to produce maps...
Uncertainty in above ground forest biomass (AGB) estimates at broad-scale depends primarily on three sources of error that interact and propagate: measurement error, model error, and sampling error. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we compare the total propagated error for two sets of regional-level component equations for lodgepole pine AGB, and...
