Vegetation Community Data to Inform Climate-Adaptation Management; Gardiner, New York

Creator:: Randazzo, Andrew
Abstract:: Climate change represents an increasing threat to northeastern temperate forests. Nearly all forest communities have been affected by climate change and require climate-adaptation management (Jandl et al. 2018). Climate-adaptation management (CAM) promotes the viability of forested systems and the ecosystem services they provide under current and future climatic conditions (Bolte...

Planning for the Future Forest on the Northern Shawangunk Ridge: Climate-Adaptive Disturbance Preparedness and Response Recommendations

Creator:: Randazzo, Andrew
Abstract:: Mohonk Preserve intends to manage their forestland more actively with the mission of promoting forest health, climate-adaptation, and overall ecosystem health for the benefit of their community and recreational users. Climate-adaptive management recommendations (recommendations that address climate change vulnerabilities —by promoting either resistance, resilience, or transition— while helping to meet...

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...

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....

Assisted Migration in the Colorado Subalpine Forest

Creator:: Najim, Tara
Abstract:: This capstone study reports on global warming-induced changes to the Colorado subalpine zone climate and disturbance regimes. It assesses the impacts of these changes upon the dominant subalpine tree species and summarizes future species distribution modeling for these and other nearby species potentially suitable for the future subalpine zone in...

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,...

Adopting existing stormwater infrastructure to meet urbanization and changing rainfall trends : a case study of library pond in Wilsonville, Oregon

Creator:: Gilmartin, Shelby
Abstract:: The City of Wilsonville, Oregon (City) located between Portland and Salem on Interstate-5 was historically a small farming community that has grown into a thriving city. The development required to meet the population growth and diverse industries of the area has led to increased development and urbanization. These changes in...

Beargrass (Xerophyllum tenax) in decline? An investigation into Region 6 harvest volumes

Creator:: Pape, Brianda
Abstract:: Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) have an extensive history of harvest in the United States. The Pacific Northwest is well-reputed as a major source of floral greens for international markets. One NTFP in particular, beargrass (Xerophyllum tenax), has been repeatedly identified as a prominent, high-value species in the floral greens industry...

California Conservation Banking: Motivations, Values, and Climate Change Considerations

Creator:: Molton, Kathryn
Abstract:: Conservation banking is a market-based instrument and conservation tool designed to provide compensatory mitigation for impacts to endangered species. These banks provide both ecological and economic benefits, however their ability to continue providing these benefits is threatened by climate change. The motivational factors behind the decisions to establish a conservation...
