Analysis of potential impacts of climate change on forests of the United States Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Latta, Gregory, Temesgen, Hailemariam, Adams, Darius M., and Barrett, Tara
Abstract:: As global climate changes over the next century, forest productivity is expected to change as well. Using PRISM climate and productivity data measured on a grid of 3356 plots, we developed a simultaneous autoregressive (SAR) model to estimate the impacts of climate change on potential productivity of Pacific Northwest (PNW)...

Carbon balance on federal forest lands of Western Oregon and Washington: The impact of the Northwest Forest Plan

Creator:: Krankina, Olga N., Harmon, Mark E., Schnekenburger, Frank, and Sierra, Carlos A.
Abstract:: The management of federal forest lands in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) region changed in early 1990s when the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) was adopted with the primary goal to protect old-growth forest and associated species. A major decline in timber harvest followed, extending an earlier downward trend. The historic and...

Fire exclusion effects on riparian forest dynamics in southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Messier, Michael S., Shatford, Jeff P.A., and Hibbs, David E.
Abstract:: Euro-American settlement and organized fire suppression have been associated with structural and compositional changes in many upland forests of the western United States, but little is known about the impacts on riparian forests, portions of the landscape protected for habitat and water quality. In this study, we used dendro-ecological methods...

Complex restoration challenges: Weeds, seeds, and roads in a forested Wildland Urban Interface

Creator:: Buonopane, Michelle, Snider, Gabrielle, Kerns, Becky K., and Doescher, Paul S.
Abstract:: Federal policies in the US strongly emphasize reducing hazardous fuels at the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). However, these areas present restoration challenges as they often have exotic weeds, frequent human disturbance, and the presence of roads. Understanding seed banks is important in planning for desirable post-disturbance community conditions, developing integrated...

Abundance of natural regeneration and growth comparisons with planted seedlings 10–13 years after commercial thinning in 50-year-old Douglas-fir, Douglas-fir/western hemlock, Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Nabel, Mark R., Newton, Michael, and Cole, Elizabeth C.
Abstract:: Post-thinning natural regeneration in the Pacific Northwest of USA was evaluated 13 years after thinning 50-year-old Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco var. menziesii) stands on a drier, interior Coast Range site (McDonald) and 10 years after thinning 50- to 55-year-old Douglas-fir/western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla [Raf.] Sarg.) stands on a moister,...

A comparison of selected parametric and imputation methods for estimating snag density and snag quality attributes

Creator:: Eskelson, B. N. I., Temesgen, Hailemariam, and Hagar, J. C.
Abstract:: Snags (standing dead trees) are an essential structural component of forests. Because wildlife use of snags depends on size and decay stage, snag density estimation without any information about snag quality attributes is of little value for wildlife management decision makers. Little work has been done to develop models that...

Thinning of young Douglas-fir forests decreases density of northern flying squirrels in the Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Manning, Tom, Hagar, Joan C., and McComb, Brenda C.
Abstract:: Large-scale commercial thinning of young forests in the Pacific Northwest is currently promoted on public lands to accelerate the development of late-seral forest structure for the benefit of wildlife species such as northern spotted owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) and their prey, including the northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus). Attempts to...

Comparative hazard assessment for protected species in a fire-prone landscape

Creator:: Roloff, Gary J., Mealey, Stephen P., and Bailey, John D.
Abstract:: We conducted a comparative hazard assessment for 325,000 ha in a fire-prone area of southwest Oregon, USA. The landscape contains a variety of land ownerships, fire regimes, and management strategies. Our comparative hazard assessment evaluated the effects of two management strategies on crown fire potential and northern spotted owl (Strix...

Carbon stocks and changes on Pacific Northwest national forests and the role of disturbance, management, and growth

Creator:: Gray, Andrew N. and Whittier, Thomas R.
Abstract:: The National Forest System (NFS) of the United States plays an important role in the carbon cycle because these lands make up a large proportion of the forested land in the country and commonly store more wood per unit area than other forest ownerships. In addition to sustaining natural resources,...
