Forestry

Creator:: Avery, Bonnie E.
Abstract:: A broad definition of forestry would be the study of trees, forests, and their use by people. Modern science-based forestry is thought to have begun in the nineteenth century when Europeans looked to specialists to address questions of wood supply and extraction both in their forests at home and in...

Forestry

Creator:: Avery, Bonnie E.

Modern or science-based forestry began in the nineteenth century when Europeans looked to specialists to address questions of wood supply and its extraction from both their forests at home and their colonies....

Ungulate Browsing Maintains Shrub Diversity in the Absence of Episodic Disturbance in Seasonally-Arid Conifer Forest

Creator:: Pekin, Burak K., Wisdom, Michael J., Endress, Bryan A., Naylor, Bridgett J., and Parks, Catherine G.
Abstract:: Ungulates exert a strong influence on the composition and diversity of vegetation communities. However, little is known about how ungulate browsing pressure interacts with episodic disturbances such as fire and stand thinning. We assessed shrub responses to variable browsing pressure by cattle and elk in fuels treated (mechanical removal of...

A Comparison of the Spatial Linear Model to Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) Methods for Forestry Applications

Creator:: Ver Hoef, Jay M. and Temesgen, Hailemariam
Abstract:: Forest surveys provide critical information for many diverse interests. Data are often collected from samples, and from these samples, maps of resources and estimates of aerial totals or averages are required. In this paper, two approaches for mapping and estimating totals; the spatial linear model (SLM) and k-NN (k-Nearest Neighbor)...

Local Variability Mediates Vulnerability of Trout Populations to Land Use and Climate Change

Creator:: Penaluna, Brooke E., Dunham, Jason B., Railsback, Steve F., Arismendi, Ivan, Johnson, Sherri L., Bilby, Robert E., Safeeq, Mohammad, and Skaugset, Arne E.
Abstract:: Land use and climate change occur simultaneously around the globe. Fully understanding their separate and combined effects requires a mechanistic understanding at the local scale where their effects are ultimately realized. Here we applied an individual-based model of fish population dynamics to evaluate the role of local stream variability in...

Current and Future Land Use around a Nationwide Protected Area Network

Creator:: Hamilton, Christopher M., Martinuzzi, Sebastian, Plantinga, Andrew J., Radeloff, Volker C., Lewis, David J., Thogmartin, Wayne E., Heglund, Patricia J., and Pidgeon, Anna M.
Abstract:: Land-use change around protected areas can reduce their effective size and limit their ability to conserve biodiversity because land-use change alters ecological processes and the ability of organisms to move freely among protected areas. The goal of our analysis was to inform conservation planning efforts for a nationwide network of...

Estimating Global ‘‘Blue Carbon’’ Emissions from Conversion and Degradation of Vegetated Coastal Ecosystems

Creator:: Pendleton, Linwood, Donato, Daniel C., Murray, Brian C., Crooks, Stephen, Jenkins, W. Aaron, Sifleet, Samantha, Craft, Christopher, Fourqurean, James W., Kauffman, J. Boone, Marba, Nuria, Megonigal, Patrick, Pidgeon, Emily, Herr, Dorothee, Gordon, David, and Baldera, Alexis
Abstract:: Recent attention has focused on the high rates of annual carbon sequestration in vegetated coastal ecosystems—marshes, mangroves, and seagrasses—that may be lost with habitat destruction (‘conversion’). Relatively unappreciated, however, is that conversion of these coastal ecosystems also impacts very large pools of previously-sequestered carbon. Residing mostly in sediments, this ‘blue...

Mapping the Global Emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, the Amphibian Chytrid Fungus

Creator:: Olson, Deanna H., Aanensen, David M., Ronnenberg, Kathryn L., Powell, Christopher I., Walker, Susan F., Bielby, Jon, Garner, Trenton W. J., Weaver, George, The Bd Mapping Group, and Fisher, Matthew C.
Abstract:: The rapid worldwide emergence of the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is having a profound negative impact on biodiversity. However, global research efforts are fragmented and an overarching synthesis of global infection data is lacking. Here, we provide results from a community tool for the compilation of worldwide Bd presence...

Risk of Exposure to Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis Virus Increases with the Density of Northern Cardinals

Creator:: Estep, Laura K., McClure, Christopher J. W., Vander Kelen, Patrick, Burkett-Cadena, Nathan D., Sickerman, Stephen, Hernandez, José, Jinright, Joseph, Hunt, Brenda, Lusk, John, Hoover, Victor, Armstrong, Keith, Stark, Lillian M., Hill, Geoffrey E., and Unnasch, Thomas R.
Abstract:: For a variety of infectious diseases, the richness of the community of potential host species has emerged as an important factor in pathogen transmission, whereby a higher richness of host species is associated with a lowered disease risk. The proposed mechanism driving this pattern is an increased likelihood in species-rich...

Ecoregional Analysis of Nearshore Sea-Surface Temperature in the North Pacific

Creator:: Payne, Meredith C., Brown, Cheryl A., Reusser, Deborah A., and Lee, Henry, II
Abstract:: The quantification and description of sea surface temperature (SST) is critically important because it can influence the distribution, migration, and invasion of marine species; furthermore, SSTs are expected to be affected by climate change. To better understand present temperature regimes, we assembled a 29-year nearshore time series of mean monthly...
