Mapping Migratory Bird Prevalence Using Remote Sensing Data Fusion

Creator:: Swatantran, Anu, Dubayah, Ralph, Goetz, Scott, Hofton, Michelle, Betts, Matthew G., Sun, Mindy, Simard, Marc, and Holmes, Richard
Abstract:: Background: Improved maps of species distributions are important for effective management of wildlife under increasing anthropogenic pressures. Recent advances in lidar and radar remote sensing have shown considerable potential for mapping forest structure and habitat characteristics across landscapes. However, their relative efficacies and integrated use in habitat mapping remain largely...

Avian Species Richness in Relation to Intensive Forest Management Practices in Early Seral Tree Plantations

Creator:: Jones, Jay E., Kroll, Andrew J., Giovanini, Jack, Duke, Steven D., Ellis, Tana M., and Betts, Matthew G.
Abstract:: •Background: Managers of landscapes dedicated to forest commodity production require information about how practices influence biological diversity. Individual species and communities may be threatened if management practices truncate or simplify forest age classes that are essential for reproduction and survival. For instance, the degradation and loss of complex diverse forest...

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...

A Multi-Year Longitudinal Study of Water Quality Parameters in Four Salmon-Bearing and Recreational Streams on Mount Hood, Oregon

Creator:: Wasowski, Ronald, Alexander, David, Kolmes, Steven, Banet, Nathan, Card, Amy, Haines, Morgan, Kolmes, Elijah, Northcutt, Kelly, Roemer, Derek, and Webber, Sarah
Abstract:: Four streams-Clear Fork, Lost Creek, Camp Creek and Still Creek-in northwestern Oregon's Sandy River Basin were monitored for temperature, dissolved oxygen levels, and fecal bacterial concentrations in a multi-year analysis examining stream health for recreational users and anchor habitat for Pacific Salmon. Temperatures were recorded using micro -T temperature loggers...

Evaluating the Return in Ecosystem Services from Investment in Public Land Acquisitions

Creator:: Kovacs, Kent, Polasky, Stephen, Nelson, Erik, Keeler, Bonnie L., Pennington, Derric, Plantinga, Andrew J., and Taff, Steven J.
Abstract:: We evaluate the return on investment (ROI) from public land conservation in the state of Minnesota, USA. We use a spatially-explicit modeling tool, the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST), to estimate how changes in land use and land cover (LULC), including public land acquisitions for conservation, influence...

Does wildfire likelihood increase following insect outbreaks in conifer forests?

Creator:: Meigs, Garrett W., Campbell, John L., Zald, Harold S. J., Bailey, John D., Shaw, David C., and Kennedy, Robert E.
Abstract:: Although there is acute concern that insect-caused tree mortality increases the likelihood or severity of subsequent wildfire, previous studies have been mixed, with findings typically based on stand-scale simulations or individual events. This study investigates landscape- and regional-scale wildfire likelihood following outbreaks of the two most prevalent native insect pests...

Factors affecting female space use in ten populations of prairie chickens

Abstract:: Conservation of wildlife depends on an understanding of the interactions between animal movements and key landscape factors. Habitat requirements of wide-ranging species often vary spatially, but quantitative assessment of variation among replicated studies at multiple sites is rare. We investigated patterns of space use for 10 populations of two closely...

Post-fire tree establishment and early cohort development in conifer forests of the western Cascades of Oregon, USA

Creator:: Tepley, Alan J., Swanson, Frederick J., and Spies, Thomas A.
Abstract:: Early‐seral ecosystems make important contributions to regional biodiversity by supporting high abundance and diversity of many plant and animal species that are otherwise rare or absent from closed‐canopy forests. Therefore, the period of post‐fire tree establishment is a key stage in forest stand and ecosystem development that can be viewed...

Multi-scale spatial controls of understory vegetation in Douglas-fir–western hemlock forests of western Oregon, USA

Creator:: Burton, Julia I., Ganio, Lisa M., and Puettmann, Klaus J.
Abstract:: Forest understory vegetation is influenced by broad-scale variation in climate, intermediate-scale variation in topography, disturbance and neighborhood interactions. However, little is known about how these multi-scale controls interact to influence observed spatial patterns. We examined relationships between the aggregated cover of understory plant species (%C[subscript U]) and multi-scale controls using...

Comparing statistical techniques to classify the structure of mountain forest stands using CHM-derived metrics in Trento province (Italy)

Creator:: Torresan, Chiara L., Strunk, Jacob, Zald, Harold S. J., Zhiqiang, Yang, and Cohen, Warren B.
Abstract:: In some cases a canopy height model (CHM) is the only available source of forest height information. For these cases it is important to understand the predictive power of CHM data for forest attributes. In this study we examined the use of lidar-derived CHM metrics to predict forest structure classes...

Regional variation in stand structure and development in forests of Oregon, Washington, and inland Northern California

Creator:: Reilly, Matthew J. and Spies, Thomas A.
Abstract:: Despite its importance to biodiversity and ecosystem function, patterns and drivers of regional scale variation in forest structure and development are poorly understood. We characterize structural variation, create a hierarchical classification of forest structure, and develop an empirically based framework for conceptualizing structural development from 11,091 plots across 25 million...

J., Sahoo, A. K., Schaefer, K., Schwalm, C. R., Tian, H., Verbeeck, H., and Weng, E.
Abstract:: Earth system processes exhibit complex patterns across time, as do the models that seek to replicate these processes. Model output may or may not be significantly related to observations at different times and on different frequencies. Conventional model diagnostics provide an aggregate view of model–data agreement, but usually do not...
