  • Diversity and abundance of birds across a hardwood gradient in early seral Douglas-fir plantations

    Creator:
    Ellis, Tana M.
    Abstract:
    Recent evidence suggests that population declines of some avian species may be driven primarily by reduced quantity and diversity of early-successional habitat on the breeding grounds. Increasing intensity of forest management on private lands and decreased harvest rates on federal lands has resulted in a loss of the diverse early-successional...

  • Long-term Fuel Succession in the Sagebrush-steppe

    Creator:
    Reis, Schyler Ainsworth
    Abstract:
    Historically fire has been the primary disturbance factor in the sagebrush-steppe. The settlement of the West by Euro-Americans, grazing by domestic livestock, and the concomitant spread of invasive species have altered the historical fire regime. Understanding the long-term vegetation structure and fuel succession of the various sagebrush-dominated communities of this...

  • Aboveground vegetation and viable seed bank of a dry mixed-conifer forest at a wildland-urban interface in Washington state

    Creator:
    Snider, Gabrielle
    Abstract:
    Dry coniferous forests in the western United States are experiencing severe wildfires, insect outbreaks, forest disease epidemics and a growing presence of invasive species. Policies strongly emphasize reducing hazardous fuels at the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) where communities and forests intersect. However, these areas present restoration challenges as they tend...
