An analysis of tree maintenance responsibility in California municipalities – do tree ordinances help or hinder urban tree canopy distribution?

Creator:: Franco, Yael
Abstract:: As urban populations increase, the presence of well-maintained trees provide a cost-effective solution to combat the effects of climate change, specifically the urban heat island effect. Unfortunately, the associated ecological, social and economic benefits of trees are not distributed equitably in the landscape due to lingering effects of redlining policies....

Potential effects of the invasive grass Ventenata dubia on elk habitat selection within the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range

Creator:: Crum, Keren-happuch R.
Abstract:: The invasive annual grass ventenata (Ventenata dubia) has become an increasing problem within western rangelands. Forage quality of areas infested with ventenata is reduced as its high silica content makes it unpalatable to livestock and wildlife. In the following study, I examined whether significant presence of ventenata affects habitat use...
