Slash-pile biomass estimations and Carbon Cycling in the Coastal Temperate Rainforest of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Winterbourne, Amber H. S.
Abstract:: Logging residue (slash) consists primarily of the branches and treetops of harvested merchantable timber; excluding snags, downed logs, and stumps. Residues may be scattered about the harvest unit, concentrated in slash-piles (SP), or both depending on the harvest method and equipment used. Accurate estimates of residue biomass are useful to...

A Review and Recommendations for Assessing Floodplain Vegetation Recovery Following Stage 0 and Beaver Dam Analog Restorations in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Colley, Lara K. M.
Abstract:: Floodplains are a significant and increasingly threatened ecosystem. As restoration projects are implemented more frequently in degraded floodplains, novel methods are emerging with a focus on restoring critical processes in which vegetation plays a key role. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: 1) to develop expectations for vegetation response,...

Potential for Coastal Wetland Blue Carbon Offset Projects in the Point Reyes Area

Creator:: Minnick, Margaret T.
Abstract:: Point Reyes is a 100-square mile peninsula located on the California coast about 30 miles north of San Francisco. The peninsula, surrounding bays, and neighboring coastal mainland are a unique biodiversity hotspot. The area underwent heavy human use, including ranching and logging, during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Conservation...

Pacific marten occupancy and detection probability in relation to infrastructure and environmental factors in the southern Cascade Mountains

Creator:: Hill, Deborah J.
Abstract:: Humans benefit from being in nature and recreating, however outdoor recreation can negatively impact wildlife, including species of conservation concern such as the Pacific marten (Martes caurina). Densities of martens decline following intensive forest management activities, but impacts from recreation are relatively unstudied. My goal was to evaluate marten occupancy...

Beargrass (Xerophyllum tenax) in decline? An investigation into Region 6 harvest volumes

Creator:: Pape, Brianda
Abstract:: Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) have an extensive history of harvest in the United States. The Pacific Northwest is well-reputed as a major source of floral greens for international markets. One NTFP in particular, beargrass (Xerophyllum tenax), has been repeatedly identified as a prominent, high-value species in the floral greens industry...

An Investigation of Stage 0 Restoration in California and Oregon

Creator:: Schneider, Charles W.
Abstract:: Stream restoration efforts have increasingly started to focus on management actions that restore ecological function rather than focusing on species-specific habitat needs. Restoration practitioners in the Pacific Northwest have implemented numerous large-scale floodplain restoration projects to restore stream function at the valley scale. Some of these projects attempt to restore...

An Overview of Bumble Bee Conservation in Wisconsin and a Management Plan for Whittlesey Creek National Wildlife Refuge

Creator:: Walsh, Amanda E.
Abstract:: Native, wild bee populations play an important functional role in terrestrial ecosystems through pollination services. In recent years, increased attention has been paid to the importance of bumble bee species and their contribution to the agricultural economy, in large part because of the widespread losses of populations across landscapes, both...

Invasive Species in Riparian Habitats of Washington: Using Species Distribution Models to Guide Monitoring Efforts

Creator:: Smiley, Samantha N.
Abstract:: Riparian ecosystems provide critical habitat for a broad diversity of aquatic and terrestrial species. However, due to their connectivity along river corridors, and the tendency for people to build roads, infrastructure, and other settlements next to rivers, riparian ecosystems are vulnerable to colonization by invasive plant and animal species. Early...
