Climate, management, and forest type influences on carbon dynamics of West-Coast US forests

Creator:

Hudiburg, Tara M.

Abstract:

Net uptake of carbon from the atmosphere (net ecosystem production, NEP) is dependent on climate, disturbance history, management practices, forest age, and forest type. To improve understanding of the influence of these factors on forest carbon flux in the western U.S., a combination of federal inventory data and supplemental ground...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Tara M. Hudiburg for the degree of Master of Science in Forest
Potential impacts of climate change on vegetation distributions, carbon stocks, and fire regimes in the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Creator:

Rogers, Brendan M.

Abstract:

The U.S Pacific Northwest contains a wide variety of ecosystems, all subject to relatively dry summers and wet winters. As has been shown with paleoclimatic and paleoecological data, the region is vulnerable to changes in climate. We assessed the sensitivities of vegetation distributions, carbon stocks, and fire regimes to 21st...
