Public acceptance of disturbance-based forest management : a study of the attentive public in the Central Cascades Adaptive Management Area

Creator:: Mallon, Angela L.
Abstract:: Growing emphasis on ecosystem and landscape-level forest management across North America has spurred an examination of alternative management strategies which focus on emulating dynamic natural disturbance processes, particularly those associated with forest fire regimes. This topic is the cornerstone of research in the Blue River Landscape Study (BRLS) taking place...
