Characterizing Community Forests in the United States

Creator:: Hajjar, Reem, McGinley, Kathleen, Charnley, Susan, Frey, Gregory E., Hovis, Meredith, Cubbage, Frederick W., Schelhas, John, and Kornhauser, Kailey
Abstract:: Research on community forests, primarily governed and managed by local forest users, in the United States is limited, despite their growth in numbers over the past decade. We conducted a survey to inventory CFs in the U.S., and better understand their ownership and governance structures, management objectives, benefits, and financing....

The Politics of Correctional Privatization in the United States

Creator:: Burkhardt, Brett C.
Abstract:: Research Summary: Private correctional firms are political actors. They work to create favorable conditions to market their services. At the same time, they are constrained by external political forces, including political parties, social movements, and public opinion. This article reviews what we know about the reciprocal relationship between the private...

Mapping Multiple Forest Threats in the Northwestern United States

Creator:: Kline, Jeffrey D., Kerns, Becky K., Day, Michelle A., and Hammer, Roger B.
Abstract:: US forestlands are increasingly subject to disturbances including wildfire, insects and disease, and urban and exurban development. Devising strategies for addressing these "forest threats" depends on anticipating where individual disturbances are most likely and where they might occur in combination. However, many spatial data sets describing forest threats are produced...

Superensemble regional climate modeling for the western United States

Creator:: Mote, Philip W., Allen, Myles R., Jones, Richard G., Li, Sihan, Mera, Roberto, Rupp, David E., Salahuddin, Ahmed, and Vickers, Dean
Abstract:: Computing resources donated by volunteers have generated the first superensemble of regional climate model results, in which the Hadley Centre Regional Model, version 3P (HadRM3P), and Hadley Centre Atmosphere Model, version 3P (HadAM3P), were implemented for the western United States at 25-km resolution. Over 136,000 valid and complete 1-yr runs...

United States Forest Disturbance Trends Observed Using Landsat Time Series

Creator:: Masek, Jeffrey G., Goward, Samuel N., Kennedy, Robert E., Cohen, Warren B., Moisen, Gretchen G., Schleeweis, Karen, and Huang, Chengquan
Abstract:: Disturbance events strongly affect the composition, structure, and function of forest ecosystems; however, existing US land management inventories were not designed to monitor disturbance. To begin addressing this gap, the North American Forest Dynamics (NAFD) project has examined a geographic sample of 50 Landsat satellite image time series to assess...

Federal forest-fire policy in the United States

Creator:: Stephens, Scott L. and Ruth, Lawrence W.
Abstract:: Forest-fire policy of U.S. federal agencies has evolved from the use of small patrols in newly created National Parks to diverse policy initiatives and institutional arrangements that affect millions of hectares of forests. Even with large expenditures and substantial infrastructure dedicated to fire suppression, the annual area burned by wildfire...

Mapping Atmospheric Moisture Climatologies across the Conterminous United States

Creator:: Daly, Christopher, Smith, Joseph I., and Olson, Keith V.
Abstract:: Spatial climate datasets of 1981–2010 long-term mean monthly average dew point and minimum and maximum vapor pressure deficit were developed for the conterminous United States at 30-arcsec (~800m) resolution. Interpolation of long-term averages (twelve monthly values per variable) was performed using PRISM (Parameter-elevation Relationships on Independent Slopes Model). Surface stations...

Managing fire-prone forests in the western United States

Creator:: Noss, Reed F., Franklin, Jerry F., Baker, William L., Schoennagel, Tania, and Moyle, Peter B.
Abstract:: The management of fire-prone forests is one of the most controversial natural resource issues in the US today, particularly in the west of the country. Although vegetation and wildlife in these forests are adapted to fire, the historical range of fire frequency and severity was huge. When fire regimes are...

An Ephemeral Sexual Population of Phytophthora infestans in the Northeastern United States and Canada

Creator:: Danies, Giovanna, Myers, Kevin, Mideros, María F., Restrepo, Silvia, Martin, Frank N., Cooke, David E. L., Smart, Christine D., Ristaino, Jean B., Seaman, Abby J., Gugino, Beth K., Grünwald, Niklaus J., and Fry, William E.
Abstract:: Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of late blight disease, has been reported in North America since the mid-nineteenth century. In the United States the lack of or very limited sexual reproduction has resulted in largely clonal populations of P. infestans. In 2010 and 2011, but not in 2012 or 2013,...
