Urban Forests Role in Ecosystem Services in the 24:1 Community and the Normandy Schools Collaborative of St. Louis County, Missouri: A Study in Environmental Justice

Creator:: Templer, Amanda L.
Abstract:: The 24:1 Community is a growing community with ongoing concerns over historical residential segregation, minority-exposure to environmental hazards, and sparse tree canopy coverage. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the current state of the community’s urban forest through an assessment of the urban forest. It also highlights the need...

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,...

Vegetation dynamics at two western New York forests

Creator:: Rhea, Neally
Abstract:: Since the early 1900s, widespread agricultural abandonment has occurred in western New York leading to a general increase in forested areas through old-field succession. Even-aged stands typically follow these large-scale disturbances, resulting in a pattern of development with identifiable stages (Oliver 1980). At each stage, changes in vegetation dynamics encourage...

Mason’s Run brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis): history, management challenges, and recommendations

Creator:: Russell, Joseph D., III
Abstract:: Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) populations currently exist in less than half of their historic range in the state of New Jersey. The remaining populations are confined to the northwestern part of the state in the Highlands, Appalachian Ridge and Valley, and Piedmont physiographic provinces, with the exception of Mason's Run,...

An Evaluation of Wallowa Stock Hatchery Residual Oncorhynchus mykiss Monitoring and Management Strategies

Creator:: Smith, Jorden D.
Abstract:: Hatchery O. mykiss that fail to emigrate to the ocean, referred to as residuals, present an ecological and genetic risk to naturally-produced species through resource competition, predation, and spawning interactions. The Lower Snake River Compensation Plan’s Wallowa stock steelhead program in northeast Oregon has established methods of reducing and quantifying...

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...

Effects of Woolsey Fire on Nesting Territories of Southern California Red-Tailed Hawks

Creator:: Gao, Jane
Abstract:: The relationship between fire and wildlife habitat is complex. Fires can create favorable conditions for some species and simultaneously extirpate entire populations of other species. Red-tailed hawks choose nesting habitats according to resources available. Natural disturbances such as wildfires change the availability of those resources. In late 2018, the Woolsey...

Spruce-Fir Moss Spider (Microhexura Montivaga) Monitoring Plan

Creator:: Sacco, Christopher
Abstract:: On June 20, 2019, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) announced it would conduct a 5-year status review of the Spruce-Fir Moss Spider as part of the process mandated by the Endangered Species Act. Although the Spruce-Fir Moss Spider has been listed as endangered since 1994, minimal research has...

Utilizing economic indicators in a machine learning platform to create an interdisciplinary forecasting framework for natural resource management and policy planning

Creator:: Polinsky, Joseph Mark
Abstract:: Abstract: Resource managers and policy face challenges in forecasting the demand for natural resources replenishment (where possible) of natural resources due to changes in human lifestyle, population change and economic development. The year 2020 demonstrated this challenge on several fronts, including the realm of natural resources. Additionally, much competition for...

Fish out of Water: Virgin Spinedace (Lepidomeda mollispinis) in the Santa Clara River, Utah

Creator:: Siefken, Sarah N.
Abstract:: River ecosystems throughout the arid southwestern U.S. are imperiled. Water management infrastructure, climate change, unsustainable water use, and political conflict harm the region's aquatic and riparian ecosystems. This case study surveys one such desert river, an endemic fish species, and conservation efforts in southwestern Utah. The analysis focuses on the...
