Disturbance and landscape history as a reference for evaluating forest management effects at a regional scale : examples from the Coast Range of Oregon, USA

Creator:

Nonaka, Etsuko

Abstract:

History is an invaluable source of information to understand and evaluate management influences on contemporary ecosystems and landscapes. The first two chapters (Chapters 2 and 3) explored the concept of historical range of variability (HRV) in landscape structure and stand structure using a stochastic fire simulation model to simulate presettlement...

Evaluating Forest Management Effects at a Regional Scale: Examples from the Coast Range of Oregon, USA. by
Four centuries of soil carbon and nitrogen change after severe fire in a Western Cascades forest landscape

Creator:

Giesen, Thomas William

Abstract:

Fire is a major disturbance process in many forests. Long-term studies of the biogeochemical effects of fires, especially on soils, are very rare. Consequently, long-term effects of fire on soils are often hypothesized from short-term effects. In a chronosequence study, I studied 24 western Cascades (Oregon) forest stands thought to...
