Contributions of Epicormic Branches and Delayed Adaptive Foliage in Coastal Douglas-fir under Variable Density Management Regimes

Creator:

Punches, John W.

Abstract:

The contribution of delayed adaptive reiteration to crown maintenance was explored across a wide range of adjacent open space conditions in early-mature (approximately 60 year old) Douglas-fir located on the eastern slope of Oregon’s Coast Range. The stands had experienced uniform thinning in 1964-65 and 1980-81 to release dominant and...

Experiments and Observations on How Changes in Riparian Forests Affect Light and Stream Ecosystems

Creator:

Swartz, Allison G.

Abstract:

Riparian zones are ecotones between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Processes in streams are strongly influenced by riparian forest communities, age, stage and structure. Temperate forests across much of North America, including riparian areas, are recovering from historic land clearing with many stands in the stem-exclusion phase of development in which...

Historical forest succession and disturbance dynamics in Coastal Douglas-fir forests in the southern western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:

Merschel, Andrew G.

Abstract:

Coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var menziesii) forests are extensive west of the crest of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon and Washington and are renowned for their productivity, biodiversity, and the ecosystem services they provide. Increasing wildfire activity in recent years including the extensive 2020 Labor Day fires, and a warming...
