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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Survival and growth patterns of white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss) rangewide provenances and their implications for climate change adaptation

Creator:: Lu, Pengxin, Parker, William H., Cherry, Marilyn, Colombo, Steve, Parker, William C., Man, Rongzhou, and Roubal, Ngaire
Abstract:: Intraspecific assisted migration (ISAM) through seed transfer during artificial forest regeneration has been suggested as an adaptation strategy to enhance forest resilience and productivity under future climate. In this study, we assessed the risks and benefits of ISAM in white spruce based on long-term and multilocation, rangewide provenance test data....

Using Community Gardens To Help Solve the Hunger Crisis in San Diego County, CA

Creator:: Dusek, Daniel
Abstract:: The World Health Organization defines food security as “all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life.” The reality is that one in six Americans are not food secure, even though the US produces enough food to feed its national...

Intra‐ and inter‐annual variation in gray whale body condition on a foraging ground

Creator:: Soledade Lemos, Leila, Burnett, Jonathan D., Chandler, Todd E., Sumich, James L., and Torres, Leigh G.
Abstract:: Baleen whales store energy gained on foraging grounds to support reproduction and other metabolic needs while fasting for long periods during migration. Whale body condition can be used to monitor foraging success, and thus better understand and anticipate individual‐ and population‐level trends in reproduction and survival. We assessed the body...

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...
