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...

Short-term responses of native bees to livestock and implications for managing ecosystem services in grasslands

Creator:: Kimoto, Chiho, DeBano, Sandra J., Thorp, Robbin W., Taylor, Robert V., Schmalz, Heidi, DelCurto, Timothy, Johnson, Tracey, Kennedy, Patricia L., and Rao, Sujaya
Abstract:: Rangelands are significant providers of ecosystem services in agroecosystems world‐wide. Yet few studies have investigated how different intensities of livestock grazing impact one important provider of these ecosystem services—native bees. We conducted the first large‐scale manipulative study on the effect of a gradient of livestock grazing intensities on native bees...

Key areas for conserving United States’ biodiversity likely threatened by future land use change

Creator:: Martinuzzi, S., Radeloff, V. C., Higgins, J. V., Helmers, D. P., Plantinga, A. J., and Lewis, D. J.
Abstract:: A major challenge for biodiversity conservation is to mitigate the effects of future environmental change, such as land use, in important areas for biodiversity conservation. In the United States, recent conservation efforts by The Nature Conservancy and partners have identified and mapped the nation's Areas of Biodiversity Significance (ABS), representing...

Factors affecting female space use in ten populations of prairie chickens

Creator:: Winder, Virginia L., Carrlson, Kaylan M., Gregory, Andrew J., Hagen, Christian A., Haukos, David A., Kesler, Dylan C., Larsson, Lena C., Matthews, Ty W., McNew, Lance B., Patten, Michael A., Pitman, Jim C., Powell, Larkin A., Smith, Jennifer A., Thompson, Tom, Wolfe, Donald H., and Sandercock, Brett K.
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...

Predation on an Upper Trophic Marine Predator, the Steller Sea Lion: Evaluating High Juvenile Mortality in a Density Dependent Conceptual Framework

Creator:: Horning, Markus and Mellish, Jo-Ann E.
Abstract:: The endangered western stock of the Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) - the largest of the eared seals - has declined by 80% from population levels encountered four decades ago. Current overall trends from the Gulf of Alaska to the Aleutian Islands appear neutral with strong regional heterogeneities. A published...

The VAMOS Ocean-Cloud-Atmosphere-Land Study Regional Experiment (VOCALS-REx): goals, platforms, and field operations

Creator:: Wood, R., Mechoso, C. R., Bretherton, C. S., Weller, R. A., Huebert, B., Straneo, F., Albrecht, B. A., Coe, H., Allen, G., Vaughan, G., Daum, P., Fairall, C., Chand, D., Klenner, L.

Abstract:: The VAMOS Ocean-Cloud-Atmosphere-Land Study Regional Experiment (VOCALS-REx) was an international field program designed to make observations of poorly understood but critical components of the coupled climate system of the southeast Pacific. This region is characterized by strong coastal upwelling, the coolest SSTs in the tropical belt, and is home to...

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...

Farm Zoning and Fairness in Oregon 1964 - 2014

Creator:: Richmond, Henry R. and Houchen, Timothy G.
Abstract:: Senate Bill 100 (1973) and the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission’s (LCDC) goals (1975) required: - Cities to adopt urban growth boundaries (UGBs) to contain sprawl, and - Counties to use zoning to limit 15.6 million acres of farmland to farm use, and 8.0 million acres of forest land...

Density Can Be Misleading for Low-Density Species: Benefits of Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Creator:: Rogers, Tracey L., Ciaglia, Michaela B., Klinck, Holger, and Southwell, Colin
Abstract:: Climate-induced changes may be more substantial within the marine environment, where following ecological change is logistically difficult, and typically expensive. As marine animals tend to produce stereotyped, long-range signals, they are ideal for repeatable surveying. In this study we illustrate the potential for calling rates to be used as a...

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....
