The forests of Oregon are an important part of the landscape used by wild salmonids. How these forests are managed is important in attaining the goals of the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds (Oregon Plan) and Oregon Executive Order 99-01. Agricultural, urban, and other environments are addressed in other...

Mitigation strategies for reducing CO2 emissions include substitution of fossil fuel with bioenergy from forests, where carbon emitted is expected to be re-captured in the growth of new biomass to achieve zero net emissions, and forest thinning to reduce wildfire emissions. Here we use forest inventory data to show that...

Fish production is a source of livelihood for millions of Nigerians both as primary and secondary income provider. The study examined the economics of fish harvesting in Yola, Nigeria with the objectives of examining the socioeconomic status of the fishers, determining the gross margin of fish harvesting , examining the...

ECONOMICS OF FISH HARVESTING IN NIGERIA: A CASE STUDY
Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests are widely distributed throughout North America and are subject to mountain pine
beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) epidemics, which have caused mortality over millions of hectares of mature trees in
recent decades. Mountain pine beetle is known to influence stand structure, and has the ability to impact...

Ecological and financial constraints limit restoration efforts, preventing the achievement of desired ecological outcomes. Harvesting invasive plant biomass for bioenergy has the potential to reduce feedback mechanisms that sustain invasion, while alleviating financial limitations. Typha × glauca is a highly productive invasive wetland plant that reduces plant diversity, alters ecological...
