This paper examines albedo perturbation and radiative forcing after a high-severity fire in a
mature forest in the Oregon Cascade Range. Correlations between postfire albedo and seedling, sapling,
and snag (standing dead tree) density were investigated across fire severity classes and seasons for years
4-15 after fire. Albedo perturbation was...

This research examines the effect of recent landownership changes and new management stewardship
mechanisms (e.g., forest certification and working forest conservation easements) on disturbance rates in Maine
forests. We quantify forest disturbance rates between 2000 and 2007 and forest cover type composition in 2007,
as detected by Landsat Thematic Mapper...
