I analyzed the relationship between avian abundance and landscape structure at five spatial resolutions for 30 subbasins in the central Oregon Coast Range using remotely sensed data and a geographic information system (GIS). I developed maps of forest successional stages from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data at a spatial resolution...
Fire history and fire regimes were reconstructed for a 450 km² area in the central

137 sampled clearcuts. I described temporal patterns of fire frequency, severity, and size,
and interpreted topographic influences on fire frequency and...
