Relative competitive abilities of several common forest species and planted Douglas-fir in western Oregon

Creator:: Naylor-Murphy, Lanea
Abstract:: In terms of production forestry, more often than not any species that is not the crop species is considered a competitor as they are using finite growing resources that would otherwise be available to the crop species. With specific regard to Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) production in the Pacific...

Tree Vigor Response and Competitive Zone Density in Mature Ponderosa Pine

Creator:: Shaw, Randi C.
Abstract:: This study explored the relationship of mature ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws) tree vigor and competitive zone density following thinning and fuel reduction treatments. Competitive zone density (CZD) was defined as the total tree basal area (m²/ha) surrounding a given ponderosa pine tree within a 10m fixed radius...

Early-successional vegetation dynamics and microsite preferences following post-fire forest restoration in southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Kayes, Lori J.
Abstract:: Reforestation-based restoration of severely burnt plantations is one of the primary management activities following wildfire on U.S. federal lands. Restoration effects on early-seral plant and cryptogam communities have not been documented. The objectives of this study were, in severely burnt plantations two to four years post-fire, to examine the: (1)...

Selenium and trace metal accumulation in detrital-benthic food webs of lotic and lentic wetlands, Utah, USA

Creator:: Hillwalker, Wendy E.
Abstract:: Concentrations of selenium (Se), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and arsenic (As) were measured in the water column, sediment and biota, in conjunction with selected physicochemical data, from representative wetland types at a mining site within Salt Lake County, Utah, USA. The selected field sites included Oolitic...

Assessment of the ecosystem services provided by urban trees in the "monumental zone" of the city of Iquitos, Loreto - Peru, 2023

Creator:: Tuesta Cartagena, Bruno Gonzalo
Abstract:: The growing urban development and the inadequate installation of settlements has caused environmental challenges such as landscape destruction, loss of urban tree biodiversity, therefore, the objective of this study was to identify the ecosystem services of urban trees in the 'Monumental Zone' of the city of Iquitos, in the Peruvian...

Tree Equity Improvement Projects: An Analysis to Guide Urban Forestry Practitioners

Creator:: Little, Todd
Abstract:: Tree equity is a quickly growing subsection of the urban forestry, environmental justice, urban planning, and broad natural resources fields. This concern surrounds whether or not trees have been historically planted and maintained equitably across different regions within a metropolitan area. The significance of urban trees is only now being...

Defensible Space Development: Exploring The Role of Arborists in Wildfire Risk Mitigation for Communities of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Pritchett, Sylvan
Abstract:: Every year in North America homes in the Wildland-Urban interface (WUI) are destroyed by wildfires. The creation of defensible space around homes in the WUI, through the management of vegetation can help mitigate some of the risk posed by fire. While many homeowners recognize the need for defensible space around...

Multipartner Planning for Sustainability: The Pittsburgh Urban Forest

Creator:: Kelley, Michael Patrick
Abstract:: The City of Pittsburgh, formerly the capital of the American steel industry, suffered economic and social collapse in the late 1980s and 1990s. Since then, it has experienced an economic renaissance supported by the tech and medical care industries. However, despite the surprising recovery of the city, collapsed tax bases...

Exploring the constraints of the use and management of school forests in South Korea

Creator:: Hong, Hyun Jung
Abstract:: School forests in South Korea are trees and vegetation areas within schoolyards, and they provide natural environments for schools and neighborhoods. After the Korea Forest Service (KFS) and local governments create these school forests, the management of school forests transfers to the host schools. Some studies suggest that experiences with...
