Exploration of statistical methods for synthesizing the effects of variable-retention harvesting on multiple taxa

Creator:: Lam, Tzeng Yih
Abstract:: Variable-retention harvesting was proposed to reduce loss of biodiversity and ecosystem processes associated with late-seral Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests in the Pacific Northwest. The Demonstration of Ecosystem Management Options experiment was established to test this hypothesis. Analysis presents various challenges to drawing statistical inferences about treatment effects. This dissertation explored...
