Schuster Slope Landscape Management Plan Revisited : A re-design plan for a steep slope restoration project in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Yañez, Luís G.
Abstract:: Proper steep slopes management in urban settings are important to protect human life and property and only becoming more necessary as density of urban populations increases. A low-tech solution to manage slopes is bioengineering, which consists of using plant materials, rock, and soil in various configurations to stabilize slopes. This...

A Prototype of Structured Decision Making with Ecological Modeling for Tribal Agricultural Resource Management Plans

Creator:: Ciocco, Anthony
Abstract:: Agriculture Resource Management Plans (ARMPs) are the primary programmatic-level planning document for the management of tribal rangelands in North America. This project compares a standard ARMP product with a prototype ARMP developed through a Structured Decision Making (SDM) approach for the Navajo Partitioned Lands. The SDM approach provided increased transparency...

Is Cover Type Use by Dabbling Ducks at Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge, Arkansas, Related to Energy Availability?

Creator:: Kreisler, Skye E.
Abstract:: Managers of U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) in central Arkansas want to provide sufficient habitat resources to meet its population objectives for wintering waterfowl. Nutrient reserves acquired during the wintering period appear to support spring migration and subsequent reproductive success for some species,...

A Case Study of the Elk Creek Landscape Restoration Project

Creator:: Negherbon, Lindsey B.
Abstract:: Land management agencies are faced with decreasing budgets and staff, even as acres in need of restoration treatment are increasing. Rural communities in the West are still suffering from sharp declines in timber harvests since the 1990s and are now contending with wildfires that are increasing in size and severity....

Sustainable energy for Galena, Alaska: Timber Harvest Management Plan

Creator:: Kalke, Timothy R.
Abstract:: Increased energy costs have prompted the rural village of Galena, Alaska to explore viable alternatives for heat and power generation. Continued dependency on petroleum products will cause the community’s economic driving force, the Galena Interior Learning Academy (GILA), to face uncertain operability. A wood-fired boiler is scheduled to be installed,...

Habitat Connectivity and Conservation Prioritization for Golden-winged Warblers in Northwestern North Carolina

Creator:: Woodie, Mikey Bard
Abstract:: Golden-winged Warblers are facing population decline and increasing threats in the southern Appalachian Mountains. Experts believe that breeding habitat loss is one of the primary reasons for Golden-winged Warbler decline in the region. In northwestern North Carolina, research is ongoing to understand the availability of suitable breeding habitat for Golden-winged...

Sampling plan to determine mercury (Hg) contamination in the Nanay river basin

Creator:: Rodriguez, Tiffany
Abstract:: Propose a sampling plan to determine Hg contamination in the Nanay river basin. The sampling plan is for a feasibility pilot, to investigate whether it is possible to safely collect samples for Hg analyses. Future studies will build on these initial results.

Assessment of the causal linkages between forests and fish: implications for management and monitoring.

Creator:: Martens, Kyle D.
Abstract:: Understanding the causal links between riparian forests, streams, and salmonids is important to help understand the likely effects of forest management practices. Previous studies have identified three major causal pathways (Instream Cover, Light, and Hydrology) through which riparian forests influence streams, and ultimately stream fishes. To evaluate the potential importance...

The Mountain Pine Beetle, Climate Change and Sustainable Forestry in the Northern Rocky Mountain

Creator:: Gillen, Amanda
Abstract:: Mountain pine beetles (MPB) have killed millions of acres of forest throughout the Rocky Mountain ecoregion in the United States and Canada and climate change may be intensifying outbreaks. Climate change can change forest ecosystems and dynamics by increasing drought conditions and intensifying heat waves. Due to changing climate conditions,...

A landscape-scale watershed assessment method to support fish passage restoration in Puget Sound, Washington State: An analysis for the Fish Barrier Removal Board

Creator:: Zweifel, Justin C.
Abstract:: In 2014, the Washington State Legislature directed the creation of the Fish Barrier Removal Board (FBRB), a multi-entity committee tasked with the development of a statewide strategy for removing anadromous fish barriers. The strategy shall identify watersheds with the greatest potential for salmon and steelhead recovery and implement the removal...
