Resource Selection, and Demographic Rates of Female Greater Sage-Grouse Following Large-Scale Wildfire

Creator:: Foster, Lee
Abstract:: Understanding the effects of habitat disturbance on a species' habitat selection patterns, and demographic rates, is essential to projecting the trajectories of populations affected by disturbance, as well as for determining the appropriate conservation actions needed to maintain those populations. Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is a species of conservation concern...

Viewing forests through the lens of complex systems science

Creator:: Filotas, Elise, Parrott, Lael, Burton, Philip J., Chazdon, Robin L., Coates, K. David, Coll, Lluis, Haeussler, Sybille, Martin, Kathy, Nocentini, Susanna, Puettmann, Klaus J., Putz, Francis E., Simard, Suzanne W., and Messier, Christian
Abstract:: Complex systems science provides a transdisciplinary framework to study systems characterized by (1) heterogeneity, (2) hierarchy, (3) self‐organization, (4) openness, (5) adaptation, (6) memory, (7) non‐linearity, and (8) uncertainty. Complex systems thinking has inspired both theory and applied strategies for improving ecosystem resilience and adaptability, but applications in forest ecology...

Light availability and soil compaction influence the growth of underplanted following partial shelterwood harvest and soil scarification

Creator:: Soto, Daniel P., Donoso, Pablo J., Salas, Christian, and Puettmann, Klaus J.
Abstract:: We evaluated effects of top-soil scarification by heavy machinery on growth of two valuable and shade-intolerant tree species - Nothofagus dombeyi (evergreen and considered very plastic to different soil fertility levels) and Nothofagus alpina (deciduous and considered sensitive to soil fertility) - seedlings underplanted in Nothofagus old-growth forests subjected to...

Relationship between tree growth and physical dimensions of Fagus sylvatica crowns assessed from terrestrial laser scanning

Creator:: Seidel, Dominik, Schall, Peter, Gille, Malte, and Ammer, Christian
Abstract:: Measurements of physical tree crown dimensions were of subjective character in the past, even though they can be considered important for the management of many silvicultural operations, such as timing of thinning operations. In our study we investigated if and how measures of physical crown dimensions of trees differed when...

Reallocating resources, rebuilding community : the Klamath Basin agreements and the emergence of adaptive governance

Creator:: Chaffin, Brian C.
Abstract:: The concept of "adaptive governance" represents a spectrum of hybrid approaches to environmental governance employed to guide management of complex social-ecological systems under conditions of high uncertainty. While the concept of adaptive governance has benefited from over a decade of theoretical development, empirical examples of transitions towards adaptive governance are...

Morphological characteristics of ponderosa pine and lodgepole pine regeneration nine years after stand density reduction at three sites in central Oregon

Creator:: Michel, Alexa K.
Abstract:: Without the natural occurrence of fire in ponderosa pine forests of the western US, lodgepole pine has started to dominate regeneration in many forest stands and may be gradually replacing ponderosa pine over time. This development, however, conflicts with recent efforts in this region to restore old-aged, open ponderosa pine...

Recovery of High-graded Nothofagus Forests: Building Resilience Through Theory and Practice

Creator:: Soto, Daniel P.
Abstract:: The increasing human demands on natural resources, in combination with uncertainties about ecosystem dynamics due to global change, has led the scientific community to conclude that new approaches in understanding of ecological systems are needed to tackle environmental issues in an efficient manner. One development that has received more attention...

Cardiorespiratory responses to circuit weight training as measured by a biokinetic swim-bench test and a treadmill run test

Creator:: Chiang, Jasson
Abstract:: The goal of this study was to determine if the cardiorespiratory adaptations to an eight-week circuit weight training program are better measured with a biokinetic swim-bench test versus a standard treadmill test. The working hypothesis of the study was that since standard circuit weight training programs stress the upper body...

Contributions of Epicormic Branches and Delayed Adaptive Foliage in Coastal Douglas-fir under Variable Density Management Regimes

Creator:: Punches, John W.
Abstract:: The contribution of delayed adaptive reiteration to crown maintenance was explored across a wide range of adjacent open space conditions in early-mature (approximately 60 year old) Douglas-fir located on the eastern slope of Oregon’s Coast Range. The stands had experienced uniform thinning in 1964-65 and 1980-81 to release dominant and...
