Contemporary regional forest dynamics in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Reilly, Matthew J. (Matthew Justin), 1975-
Abstract:: Recent climatic warming trends and increases in the frequency and extent of wildfires have prompted much concern regarding the potential for rapid change in the structure and function of forested ecosystems around the world. Episodes of mortality in wildfires and insect outbreaks associated with drought have affected large areas and...

Fire exclusion effects on riparian forest dynamics in southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Messier, Michael S., Shatford, Jeff P.A., and Hibbs, David E.
Abstract:: Euro-American settlement and organized fire suppression have been associated with structural and compositional changes in many upland forests of the western United States, but little is known about the impacts on riparian forests, portions of the landscape protected for habitat and water quality. In this study, we used dendro-ecological methods...

Even-aged management : a dynamic forest practice

Creator:: United States. Forest Service. Southern Region
Abstract:: Gerald W. Williams Collection
Resource Type:: Book

Grazer-resource Behavior, Interactions, and Feedbacks Control Kelp-forest Dynamics and Stability

Creator:: Randell, Zachary H.
Abstract:: How the direct and indirect effects of species interactions cascade to affect community structure, functioning, and stability is a fundamental question in ecology. In temperate kelp forests, species interactions, in conjunction with environmental processes, produce rich spatiotemporal dynamics. Arguably the most dramatic of these are abrupt shifts in community state,...

Closely-related taxa influence woody species discrimination via DNA barcoding: evidence from global forest dynamics plots

Creator:: Pei, Nancai, Erickson, David L., Chen, Bufeng, Jones, Frank A., Ge, Xuejun, Mi, Xiangcheng, Swenson, Nathan G., Zhang, Jin-Long, Huang, Chun-Lin, Ye, Wanhui, Hao, Zhanqing, Hsieh, Chang-Fu, Lum, Shawn, Bourg, Norman A., Parker, John D., Zimmerman, Jess K., McShea, William J., Lopez, Ida C., Sun, I-Fang, Davies, Stuart J., Ma, Keping, and Kress, John
Abstract:: To determine how well DNA barcodes from the chloroplast region perform in forest dynamics plots (FDPs) from global CTFS-ForestGEO network, we analyzed DNA barcoding sequences of 1277 plant species from a wide phylogenetic range (3 FDPs in tropics, 5 in subtropics and 5 in temperate zone) and compared the rates...

Contagious distributions in even aged forest stands : dynamics of spatial pattern and stand structure

Creator:: Hamilton, Fiona C.
Abstract:: Six stands of Eucalyptus regnans and E. delegatensis with significantly contagious or clumped spatial patterns, were observed between either ages 4 and 12 or ages 30 and 41 years. The effects of aggregation on the development of these stands are described. The prediction of growth and mortality responses of individual...

Forest-meadow dynamics in the central western Oregon Cascades : topographic, biotic,and environmental change effects

Creator:: Rice, Janine M.
Abstract:: Montane meadows comprise a small area of the predominantly forested landscape of the Oregon Cascade Range. Tree encroachment in the last century in these areas has threatened a loss of biodiversity and habitat. Climate change in the coming century may accelerate tree encroachment into meadows, and exacerbate biodiversity loss. Multiple...

Remote sensing of forest biomass dynamics using Landsat-derived disturbance and recovery history and lidar data

Creator:: Pflugmacher, Dirk
Abstract:: Improved monitoring of forest biomass is needed to quantify natural and anthropogenic effects on the terrestrial carbon cycle. Landsat's temporal and spatial coverage, fine spatial grain, and long history of earth observations provide a unique opportunity for measuring biophysical properties of vegetation across large areas and long time scales. However,...

An individual-based process model to simulate landscape-scale forest ecosystem dynamics

Creator:: Seidl, Rupert, Rammer, Werner, Scheller, Robert M., and Spies, Thomas A.
Abstract:: Forest ecosystem dynamics emerges from nonlinear interactions between adaptive biotic agents (i.e., individual trees) and their relationship with a spatially and temporally heterogeneous abiotic environment. Understanding and predicting the dynamics resulting from these complex interactions is crucial for the sustainable stewardship of ecosystems, particularly in the context of rapidly changing...

Observations and assessment of forest carbon dynamics following disturbance in North America

Creator:: Goetz, S. J., Bond-Lamberty, B., Law, B. E., Hicke, J. A., Huang, C., Houghton, R. A., McNulty, S., O'Halloran, T., Harmon, M., Meddens, A. J. H., Pfeifer, E. M., Mildrexler, D., and Kasischke, E. S.
Abstract:: Disturbance processes of various types substantially modify ecosystem carbon dynamics both temporally and spatially, and constitute a fundamental part of larger landscape-level dynamics. Forests typically lose carbon for several years to several decades following severe disturbance, but our understanding of the duration and dynamics of post-disturbance forest carbon fluxes remains...
