The Public, The Forest, and The Conflict: A Case Study of Wendell State Forest

Creator:: McKeown, Christina K.
Abstract:: Forest management is an important mechanism that provides social, ecological, and economic benefits to the community. On public lands, management is often initiated for multi-use objectives. However, both history and research have proven that the level of acceptance for harvesting on public lands varies both temporally and spatially. Public perceptions...

Climate Change and Management Considerations for the Boreal Forest Zone

Creator:: Habeeb, Gabrielle A.
Abstract:: The boreal forest zone is located in the cool, high latitudes of the earth and represents approximately one third of the world’s remaining forested area. Maintaining the functional capacity of boreal forests is of global importance as they will both affect and be affected by climate change. Boreal forests can...

Integrating Climate Change Adaptation into the Management of Alaska’s Kenai River Watershed

Creator:: Reilly, Melissa S.
Abstract:: The impacts of climate change are being observed worldwide. However, some regions and context specific situations make particular areas more vulnerable to the impacts than others. Alaska’s Kenai River Watershed (KRW) is on the front lines of climate change and may be especially vulnerable to the impacts due to distinct...

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...

Wall-to-Wall Forest Mapping in Southeast and Southcentral Alaska: A New Application of the Gradient Nearest Neighbor Approach

Creator:: Irvine, Daniel R.
Abstract:: Boreal and temperate biomes host nearly half of the earth’s forested ecosystems. The temperate rainforests of the Pacific coast of North America constitute nearly half of all temperate rainforests on earth. Along the northern extent of this region, the perhumid and sub-polar rainforests of southeast and southcentral Alaska are among...
