Spatial patterns and trends of summertime low cloudiness for the Pacific Northwest, 1996-2017

Creator:: Dye, Alex W., Rastogi, Bharat, Clemesha, Rachel E. S., Kim, John B., Samelson, Roger M., Still, Christopher J., and Williams, A. Park
Abstract:: Summertime low clouds are common in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), but spatiotemporal patterns have not been characterized. We show the first maps of low cloudiness for the western PNW and North Pacific Ocean using a 22‐year satellite‐derived record of monthly mean low cloudiness frequency for May through September and supplemented...

Vulnerability and adaptation of Pacific Northwest shellfisheries to ocean acidification

Creator:: Katz, Brian G.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of shellfish stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest who are adapting to ocean acidification (OA). This study developed a geovisualization tool of existing environmental data for assessing species-specific risk profiles to OA (based on their exposure and sensitivity),...

Coastal protection and conservation on sandy beaches and dunes : Context-dependent tradeoffs in ecosystem service supply

Creator:: Ruggiero, Peter, Seabloom, Eric W., Hacker, Sally D., Biel, Reuben G., and Cohn, Nicholas
Abstract:: Managing multiple ecosystem services (ESs) across landscapes presents a central challenge for ecosystem-based management, because services often exhibit spatiotemporal variation and weak associations with co-occurring ESs. Further focus on the mechanistic relationships among ESs and their underlying biophysical processes provides greater insight into the causes of variation and covariation among...

The effects of changing climate on estuarine water levels: a United States Pacific Northwest case study

Creator:: Parker, Kai, Hill, David, García-Medina, Gabriel, and Beamer, Jordan
Abstract:: Climate change impacts on extreme water levels (WLs) at two United States Pacific Northwest estuaries are investigated using a multicomponent process-based modeling framework. The integrated impact of climate change on estuarine forcing is considered using a series of sub-models that track changes to oceanic, atmospheric, and hydrologic controls on hydrodynamics....

Carbon stocks and accumulation rates in Pacific Northwest forests: role of stand age, plant community, and productivity

Creator:: Gray, Andrew N., Whittier, Thomas R., and Harmon, Mark E.
Abstract:: Forest ecosystems are removing significant amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. Both abiotic resource availability and biotic interactions during forest succession affect C accumulation rates and maximum C stocks. However, the timing and controls on the peak and decline in C accumulation rates as stands age, trees increase in size,...

Quantifying uncertainty in exposure to coastal hazards associated with both climate change and adaptation strategies : a U.S. Pacific Northwest alternative coastal futures analysis

Creator:: Mills, Alexis K., Ruggiero, Peter, Bolte, John P., Serafin, Katherine A., and Lipiec, Eva
Abstract:: Coastal communities face heightened risk to coastal flooding and erosion hazards due to sea-level rise, changing storminess patterns, and evolving human development pressures. Incorporating uncertainty associated with both climate change and the range of possible adaptation measures is essential for projecting the evolving exposure to coastal flooding and erosion, as...

Habitat Associations and Diet Composition of Western Purple Martins in Western Oregon

Creator:: Sherman, Lorelle M.
Abstract:: The western purple martin (Progne subis arboricola) is a species of conservation concern throughout the Pacific Northwest. In western Oregon, the purple martin nests in three major ecosystem types: inland open-water, coastal, and upland forest. The availability of suitable breeding habitat is a major limiting factor for western purple martin...

Discovery of a dune-building hybrid beachgrass (Ammophila arenaria × A. breviligulata) in the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Mostow, Rebecca S., Barreto, Felipe, Biel, Reuben, Meyer, Eli, and Hacker, Sally D.
Abstract:: The production of novel hybrid zones is an ecologically important consequence of globally increasing rates of species introductions and invasions. Interspecific hybridization can facilitate gene flow between parent species or produce novel taxa that may alter invasion dynamics or ecosystem services. The coastal sand dunes of the U.S. Pacific Northwest...

A Case Study in the Role of Values in Discourse and Consensus in Pacific Northwest Forest Collaboratives

Creator:: Karnstein, Mackenzie R.
Abstract:: Collaborative governance plays a significant role in forest management on public land in the Pacific Northwest. The method of governance offers the unique ability to engage a diverse range of stakeholders to reach consensus regarding forest management action. Evaluating the dynamics of the collaborative and its members is essential to...

Words are monuments: Patterns in US national park place names perpetuate settler colonial mythologies including white supremacy

Creator:: McGill, Bonnie M., Borrelle, Stephanie B., Wu, Grace C., Ingeman, Kurt E., Koch, Jonathan Berenguer Uhuad, and Barnd, Natchee B.
Abstract:: 1. Ecologists, outdoor professionals and the public work and play in lands with complex histories. Part of decolonizing our professional and recreational practices is to expose settler colonial biases and recognize the histories of colonized lands and the peoples who have stewarded these lands for millennia prior to colonization. 2....
