FishXing (fish crossing), a computer aided stream crossing culvert model designed to analyze fish passage through culverts was compared with results of an Oregon Department of Forestry fish passage monitoring report. FishXing was created at Humboldt State University through sponsorship from the US Forest Service, USDA, Stream Team, Six Rivers...
In 2002, the Biscuit Wildfire burned a portion of the previously established,
replicated conifer unthinned and thinned experimental units of the Siskiyou Long-Term
Ecosystem Productivity (LTEP) experiment, southwest Oregon. Charcoal C in pre and
post-fire O horizon and mineral soil was quantified by physical separation and a
peroxide-acid digestion method....
Changes in soil C and N pools following wildfire are
quite varied, but there is little understanding of the
causes of the variation. We examined how the
legacies of prefire ecosystem structure may explain
the variation in soil trajectories during the first
decade following wildfire. Five years prior to
wildfire...

Soil is an important, dynamic component of regional and global mercury (Hg) cycles. This study evaluated how changes in forest soil Hg masses caused by atmospheric deposition and wildfire are affected by forest structure. Pre and postfire soil Hg measurements were made over two decades on replicate experimental units of...

Early-successional stages have been truncated and altered in many western U.S. forest landscapes by
planting conifers, controlling competing vegetation, suppressing fire, and focusing on maintaining late-seral
species and undisturbed riparian zones. Declining area of early-successional stages may be reducing
resilience and sustainability on landscapes that experience elevated disturbance related to...

Visible homelessness is a complex and enduring issue that remains salient in policymaking and political realms. In response to homeless individuals living their lives in public spaces, many cities have enacted civility codes or laws that address quality of life concerns in an attempt to remove visible signs of homelessness...
