Investigating the Paleoseismic Potential of Small, Southern Cascadia Lakes

Creator:: Ross, Ann Elizabeth Morey
Abstract:: Marine and coastal sedimentary archives show that the Cascadia Subduction Zone can generate great earthquakes of ~M9, most recently in 1700 CE, yet we still know little of the impacts of these events inland of the Pacific coast. Inland lakes have recently been exploited for their use as paleoseismic records...

Reburn Severity and Vegetation Recovery in Southwestern Oregon, USA

Creator:: Weber, Rebecca N.
Abstract:: The Klamath-Siskiyou Ecoregion of southwest Oregon and northern California is greatly departed from its historic, mixed-severity fire regime. This departure manifests in larger wildfires, greater proportions of high burn severity within wildfire perimeters, and decreased diversity of post-fire vegetation successional stages and trajectories across the landscape compared to historical norms....

Managing for landscape resilience in the frequent-fire forests of central Oregon

Creator:: Platt, Emily K.
Abstract:: Wildfire in dry, frequent-fire forests is a pressing issue for natural resource managers, communities and politicians in the western United States. Area affected by wildfire has climbed steadily over the last twenty years and is expected to increase in the future. Recognition of the importance of both social and biophysical...

Bridging Ways of Knowing to Model the Dynamics of Fire as an Ecocultural Process on Frequent Fire Landscapes of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Greenler, Skye M.
Abstract:: Wildfire impacts have intensified in many ecosystems across the western United States due to the combined impact of fire exclusion, climate change, and land management practices. However, on many of these landscapes, fire is a fundamental ecological process that has shaped vegetation structural and compositional diversity, ecosystem function, landscape pattern,...

Mapping disturbance interactions from earth and space : insect effects on tree mortality, fuels, and wildfires across forests of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Meigs, Garrett W.
Abstract:: Given the vital role of forest ecosystems in landscape pattern and process, it is important to quantify the effects, feedbacks, and uncertainties associated with forest disturbance dynamics. In western North America, insects and wildfires are both native disturbances that have influenced forests for millennia, and both are projected to increase...

Trade-offs between management for fire risk reduction and northern spotted owl habitat protection in the dry conifer forests of southern Oregon

Creator:: Comfort, Emily Julia, 1974-
Abstract:: There is a perceived trade-off between fire risk reduction and northern spotted owl habitat protection in dry-conifer forests in southwestern Oregon. Management options for balancing this trade-off need to be sought at the landscape level. Applied landscape ecology suggests three important features to consider are (1) patch size and configuration...

Dead fuels and understory vegetation six years after a large mixed-severity wildfire in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Nathanson, Amy
Abstract:: Though the mixed-evergreen forests of the Klamath Siskiyous have a long history of large, mixed-severity fires, most research in this region has concentrated on the impacts of high-severity fire. Knowledge of the ecological effects of low- and moderate-severity areas within mixed-severity fires is important because such areas may account for...

Contemporary regional forest dynamics in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Reilly, Matthew J. (Matthew Justin), 1975-
Abstract:: Recent climatic warming trends and increases in the frequency and extent of wildfires have prompted much concern regarding the potential for rapid change in the structure and function of forested ecosystems around the world. Episodes of mortality in wildfires and insect outbreaks associated with drought have affected large areas and...

Multi-temporal LiDAR Analysis of Landscape Fire Effects in Southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Hoe, Michael
Abstract:: Quantitative assessments of post-fire effects are key to improving our understanding of ecosystem resilience. While remote sensing technology has allowed us to assess post-fire landscape effects, we are often limited by the lack of information related to pre-fire forest attributes. As a result, our ability to interpret fire effects in...

Role of Extreme Events on Sedimentation in Loon Lake, Oregon Coast Range, USA

Creator:: Richardson, Kristin Noel Duckworth
Abstract:: Sediment cores were retrieved from a landslide-dammed lake, recording events back to the 5th century AD in a forested, mountainous catchment. These cores provide an opportunity to compare the impacts of known recent perturbations, including floods and timber harvesting with those of the early period of the core, flood, fire,...
