Abstract:: Thinning has the potential to increase structural diversity of managed forests for wildlife. During 1994-1996, I conducted experimental and observational studies using pitfall trapping to assess short-term and potential long-term effects of thinning on abundance and reproduction of forest-floor vertebrates in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menzeisii) forests of the Oregon Coast Range....

Creator:: Czarnomski, Nicole M.
Abstract:: Despite many studies of large wood in streams, few landscape scale studies have been conducted. Large-scale studies can reveal how the history of forest harvest and road building has influenced wood patterns in streams of the Pacific Northwest. This study examined the relationships between wood in streams, timber harvest, and...

Abstract:: Fire is a major disturbance process in many forests. Long-term studies of the biogeochemical effects of fires, especially on soils, are very rare. Consequently, long-term effects of fire on soils are often hypothesized from short-term effects. In a chronosequence study, I studied 24 western Cascades (Oregon) forest stands thought to...

Creator:: Hebel, Cassie L.
Abstract:: Fire suppression in the last several decades has resulted in unprecedented accumulations of organic matter on the landscape, leading to an increase in large, intense wildfires. This study investigated the soil microbial community (using phospholipid fatty acid analysis) across recently burned forests on the eastern slope of the Cascade Range...
