Protected-area effectiveness near dynamic colonization zones : Forest clearance in and around Amboró National Park, Bolivia

Creator:: Bucklin, David N.
Abstract:: Protected natural areas are important reserves for biodiversity, and in the tropics, often play a role in deterring deforestation. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a protected-area with a two-tiered management regime in Bolivia, Amboró National Park and Integrated Management Natural Area (IMNA), in deterring clearance of forest. Four satellite...

Spatial changes in alpine treeline vegetation patterns along hiking trails in Glacier National Park, Montana

Creator:: Klasner, Frederick L.
Abstract:: Sequential aerial photography was used to identify effects of hiking trails on the spatial distribution of subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) habitat at alpine treeline. Vegetation change over a 46 year period was compared along trails relative to areas without trails, at five study sites in the McDonald Creek drainage of...

Geographic Information System model rating old-growth stand significance on the Olympic National Forest

Creator:: Wettengel, William M.
Abstract:: With increased attention being focused on the remaining old-growth forest resource in the Pacific Northwest a way to ecologically rate forest stands is needed to assist the U.S. Forest Service in its management decisions. A Geographic Information System (GIS) model was developed to rate old-growth stands in a 49,500 acre...

Meadow classification in the Willamette National Forest and conifer encroachment patterns in the Chucksney-Grasshopper meadow complex, Western Cascade Range, Oregon

Creator:: Dailey, Michele Meadows
Abstract:: This study delineates and characterizes the distribution of montane meadows in the Willamette National Forest, identifies encroachment patterns in relation to topographic features and proximity to trees in the Chucksney-Grasshopper meadow complex, and examines tree species and age distributions in relation to distance from forest edges or isolated tree clusters...

Developing a plan for the national coordination of geospatial technology education : a community college perspective

Creator:: Sullivan, Deidre E.
Abstract:: Geospatial technology is a rapidly growing and changing field. The term geospatial technology (GST) refers to geographical information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), and remote sensing (RS), all emerging technologies that assist the user in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of spatial data. The speed at which new fields...

Vegetation classification of wild turkey habitat in Umpqua National Forest using color aerial photography

Creator:: Hazell, Bret Jack
Abstract:: This project focuses on the classification of vegetation as a habitat for wild turkeys. The vegetation classification discussed here is only one part of a study looking at habitat requirements, seasonal use patterns, and brood-rearing habits of wild turkeys in Southern Oregon. The vegetation classification was performed for an area...

Sediment accumulation within weathering pits on Dance Hall Rock, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah

Creator:: Taddie, Marissa C.
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper was to examine if the depth and degree of circularity of weathering pits affects the accumulation of sediment. Thirty pits were surveyed over two one-week periods on Dance Hall Rock. Weathering pits were measured to determine their maximum width, minimum width, vertical depth, and depth...
