Choosing efficient land allocations and forest management regimes for biodiversity

Creator:: Shunk, Neal J.
Abstract:: Increasing rates of species imperilment and the loss of biological diversity in naturally functioning ecosystems can be directly linked to accelerated urban development and the conversion of natural habitats to satisfy the needs of man. In combating this loss of biodiversity, scientists and policy makers alike recognize the relevance of...

Creator:: Heffner, James
Abstract:: The West is undergoing a period of change where water rights, range rights, and other attributes historically attached to land, are being reevaluated. To date, not all of these relationships have been hammered out or confirmed to exist. One such example of this is Klamath County, Oregon. Here we see...
