Quantifying the Geomorphic Response of Stage 0 Stream Restoration: A Pilot Project on Whychus Creek

Creator:

Scagliotti, Alex

Abstract:

It is generally accepted in stream ecology that habitat heterogeneity and patchiness at multiple scales increases ecosystem resilience through niche diversification. Heterogeneous stream habitats include a complex mosaic of hydraulic features, large woody debris, anabranches, substrata and channel forms - this complexity tends to increase as streams progress towards later...

State-Level Challenges to Invasive Insect Management: A Case Study of Spotted Lanternfly in the Northeast

Creator:

Adams, Jennifer

Abstract:

Spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is an invasive insect that was first discovered in Pennsylvania in 2014, and has since spread across the Northeastern United States. States in the Northeast have created quarantine zones, regulations, outreach, reporting systems, and management efforts for the control of spotted lanternfly. Despite states’ efforts, spotted...

Place-based metrics guiding southwest urban forestry design

Creator:

Beshur, Athena D.

Abstract:

Through well designed tree placement, redundant use of simple technologies, and stewardship, trees grow. Over time, they mitigate stormwater flooding and enhance livability. This paper offers insights into precipitation patterns, and how small scale redundancy can help build the urban tree canopy. It is specifically geared toward issues in the...
