Are Bird Habitat Associations Consistent Across Space and Time?

Creator:: Rousseau, Josée S.
Abstract:: The concept of the fundamental niche is frequently used in ecology to define the set of environmental conditions needed by a species to survive and reproduce (Hutchinson 1957). In contrast, the realized niche constitutes the locations where a species actually occurred, which is a function of both the environmental (abiotic)...

Collaboration Challenges: Stakeholder Perceptions of Managing a National Forestry Program. A Case Study of the Multi Stakeholder Forestry Program in Nepal

Creator:: Maskey, Stuty
Abstract:: Increasing calls from stakeholders for a greater role in public decision making has led to the rapid world-wide adoption of multi stakeholder collaboration for policymaking. In line with this emerging trend the Government of Nepal with support from its long-time development partners and bi-lateral donors initiated a policy level experiment...

Developing Tools for Hardy Hibiscus and Lilac Breeding: Quantile Regression, Cytogenetics, Interspecific Hybridization, Somatic Hybridization, and Marker-Trait Association

Creator:: Chen, Hsuan
Abstract:: Hibiscus and lilacs (Syringa spp.) are economically important nursery crops in the US that accounted for 4.5 million units ($30 million) and 2 million units ($20 million), respectively (USDA, 2016). To maintain and expand the market share of ornamental plants such as lilacs and Hibiscus, novel performance, floral ornamental value,...

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) : what we can and cannot see in the forest for the trees

Creator:: Edson, Curtis B.
Abstract:: Recently concerns over anthropogenic carbon pollution have received increased global attention and research in forest biomass and carbon sequestration has gained momentum. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing has in the last decade demonstrated forest measurement and biomass estimation potential. The project objective was to compare LiDAR forest biomass...

The ecological legacy of Indian burning practices in southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Carloni, Kenneth R.
Abstract:: Two research questions are posed: (1) How have ecosystem conditions changed through time in southwestern Oregon? (2) How have culture-driven and climate-driven processes contributed to ecosystem change in southwestern Oregon? A brief introduction to the Little River study area is followed by a cultural and ecological history of the watershed....

Biogeochemical signals of mountainous forested watersheds' response to disturbance

Creator:: Guerrero-Bolaño Francisco J.
Abstract:: Small mountainous watersheds are disproportionate sources of land-derived particulate organic matter (POM) to long-term sinks like lake bottoms and the ocean. As such, these ecosystems are an essential component of the global carbon cycle. The burial of POM in lacustrine and marine sediments contributes to the drawdown of atmospheric CO2...

An investigation of factors affecting the optimal output log distribution from mechanical harvesting and processing systems

Creator:: Marshall, Hamish Douglas
Abstract:: Globally the forest harvesting industry is becoming increasingly mechanized. Driving this trend is the desire to increase productivity and reduce cost, as well as to improve labor-related issues. With mechanization comes an in-forest platform for the introduction of state-of-the-art communication and measurement technologies, and powerful on-board computers. These systems have...

The impact of social capital on well-being in rural communities

Creator:: Harrison, Jane L.
Abstract:: This study seeks to explore the relationship between social capital and well-being in the rural Western United States. Mixed methods were employed to understand the concepts from multiple angles, using both profile and process indicators. An econometric approach used profile indicators and relied on data from 414 counties in the...

Connecting local values and forest policy to the international forest sustainability dialogue

Creator:: Morré, Susan K.
Abstract:: Sustainable management of the world’s forests is a key component for conserving biodiversity, soil and water resources, mitigating climate change, strengthening economies, and promoting sustainable communities and human well-being, now and in the future. While international cooperation is important, the actual policies and management actions that affect forest conditions and...

An analysis of consumer response to environmentally certified, ecolabeled forest products

Creator:: Anderson, Roy Carl
Abstract:: Historically, researchers have used surveys, focus groups, and anecdotal evidence to evaluate consumer response to environmentally certified, ecolabeled forest products. These methods generally measure consumer attitudes toward certified forest products. Since the strength of the correlation between attitudes and behavior has long been questioned, consumer response to certified forest products...
