The management of federal forest lands in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) region changed in early 1990s when the
Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) was adopted with the primary goal to protect old-growth forest and associated
species. A major decline in timber harvest followed, extending an earlier downward trend. The historic and...
Food waste (FW), brewery waste (BW), and fats, oils, and greases (FOG), are prevalent waste streams in municipalities across the country, particularly in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Anaerobic digestion (AD), the microbial-mediated transformation of organic waste into methane-rich biogas, offers a sustainable, energy-generating, waste management solution for these wastes. Anaerobic...
To effectively manage for biodiversity at broad, ecosystem scales, the influences of habitat structure at multiple spatial scales on vertebrate species must be understood. There are few studies on the broad-scale habitat requirements of stream amphibians despite their importance in streams in forest ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) as...
Marine bivalves are globally recognized as ecologically and commercially valuable species and, for over a century, researchers have been studying their feeding, digestion and other related physiological processes. These studies have shown that marine bivalves have complex feeding and particle processing behaviors to maximize growth in dynamic environmental conditions. Additionally,...

Novel approaches to crop load management of pear orchards in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are necessary, but will need to vary according to the unique vegetative and reproductive growth habits of the cultivar. 'D'Anjou' is vigorous and non-precocious; thus, strategies to limit vigor and induce early fruiting are required. In...
Timber harvesting in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) region of the United States of America (USA) has a long history of explosive growth, environmental litigation and regulation, economic downturn, and workforce dynamics that have created a current environment where cable-assisted harvesting is quickly gaining popularity among private and public land managers...
