  • Carbon storage in a Pacific Northwest conifer forest ecosystem : a chronosequence approach

    Creator:
    Janisch, Jack E.
    Abstract:
    As concern over global warming intensifies, sequestration and storage of atmospheric CO2 has become an important scientific and policy issue. Confusion persists, however, over interpretation of forest carbon (C) source-sink dynamics, in part because conclusions drawn depend on temporal and spatial scales of analysis (e.g. day-week scale vs. successional-scale), type...

  • Contemporary regional forest dynamics in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Reilly, Matthew J. (Matthew Justin), 1975-
    Abstract:
    Recent climatic warming trends and increases in the frequency and extent of wildfires have prompted much concern regarding the potential for rapid change in the structure and function of forested ecosystems around the world. Episodes of mortality in wildfires and insect outbreaks associated with drought have affected large areas and...

  • The timber harvesting behavior of family forest owners

    Creator:
    Butler, Brett J.
    Abstract:
    To increase our understanding of the timber harvesting behavior of family forest owners, I developed theoretical and empirical timber harvesting models for family forest owners in the southeastern United States. An individual-choice model was the basis for the models. Family forest owners were modeled as utility-maximizers who made harvesting decisions...

  • The Impact of Disturbance on Carbon Stores and Dynamics in Forests of Coastal Alaska

    Creator:
    Yatskov, Mikhail A.
    Abstract:
    Changes in climate caused by increased concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the Earth’s atmosphere have led land and ocean surface temperatures to increase by 0.85°C and sea level to increase by 19 cm relative to preindustrial times. Global climate change will lead to further alterations in mean temperature and...

  • Analysis of the regional carbon balance of Pacific Northwest forests under changing climate, disturbance, and management for bioenergy

    Creator:
    Hudiburg, Tara W.
    Abstract:
    Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have been steadily increasing from anthropogenic energy production, development and use. Carbon cycling in the terrestrial biosphere, particularly forest ecosystems, has an important role in regulating atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide. US West coast forest management policies are being developed to implement forest bioenergy production while...
