Exploring biophysical linkages between coastal forestry management practices and aquatic bivalve contaminant exposure

Creator:: Scully-Engelmeyer, Kaegan, Granek, Elise F., Nielsen-Pincus, Max, Lanier, Andy, Rumrill, Steven S., Moran, Patrick, Nilsen, Elena, Hladik, Michelle L., and Pillsbury, Lori
Abstract:: Terrestrial land use activities present cross-ecosystem threats to riverine and marine species and processes. Specifically, pesticide runoff can disrupt hormonal, reproductive, and developmental processes in aquatic organisms, yet non-point source pollution is difficult to trace and quantify. In Oregon, U.S.A., state and federal forestry pesticide regulations, designed to meet regulatory...

The “Catch-22” of Representation of Women in the Forest Sector: The Perspective of Student Leaders in Top Global Forestry Universities

Creator:: Larasatie, Pipiet, Barnett, Taylor, and Hansen, Eric
Abstract:: Although there are continuous efforts aimed at increasing gender diversity, the forest sector is still largely perceived as a male dominated field, indicated by a persistent masculine image. As a result, women are still underrepresented. Utilizing interviews, we found that greater representation of women in the forest sector is considered...

Emerging Technologies in Fisheries Science: A Transdisciplinary Report

Creator:: Firl, Alrik, Haven, Katlyn, and Newton, Samm
Abstract:: The Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery harvests a diverse and large grouping of fishes, but it did not become heavily fished until around WWII. This makes the groundfish fishery a comparatively young fishery. Despite its youth, it is one of the largest and most lucrative fisheries in Oregon—with a current harvest...

Burning the legacy? Influence of wildfire reburn on dead wood dynamics in a temperate conifer forest

Creator:: Donato, Daniel C., Fontaine, Joseph B., and Campbell, John L.
Abstract:: Dynamics of dead wood, a key component of forest structure, are not well described for mixed-severity fire regimes with widely varying fire intervals. A prominent form of such variation is when two stand-replacing fires occur in rapid succession, commonly termed an early-seral “reburn.” These events are thought to strongly influence...

Assessment of the causal linkages between forests and fish: implications for management and monitoring.

Creator:: Martens, Kyle D.
Abstract:: Understanding the causal links between riparian forests, streams, and salmonids is important to help understand the likely effects of forest management practices. Previous studies have identified three major causal pathways (Instream Cover, Light, and Hydrology) through which riparian forests influence streams, and ultimately stream fishes. To evaluate the potential importance...

Modeling the Financial Potential of Silvopasture Agroforestry in Eastern North Carolina and Northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Bruck, Sonia R., Bishaw, Badege, Cushing, Tamara L., and Cubbage, Frederick W.
Abstract:: Silvopasture is the planned and managed agroecosystem in which forage, livestock, and woody perennials are integrated "either simultaneously or sequentially on the same parcel of land." Silvopasture can help mitigate anthropogenic climate change through carbon sequestration in perennial vegetation. We examined silvopasture, forest, and pasture systems in eastern North Carolina...
