AIM: Landscape management and conservation planning require maps of vegetation
composition and structure over large regions. Species distribution models
(SDMs) are often used for individual species, but projects mapping multiple species
are rarer. We compare maps of plant community composition assembled by
stacking results from many SDMs with multivariate maps...

This study investigated how lidar-derived vegetation indices, disturbance history from Landsat time series (LTS)
imagery, plot location accuracy, and plot size influenced accuracy of statistical spatial models (nearest-neighbor
imputation maps) of forest vegetation composition and structure. Nearest-neighbor (NN) imputation maps were
developed for 539,000 ha in the central Oregon Cascades,...

Genetic factors such as decreased genetic
diversity and increased homozygosity can have detrimental
effects on rare species, and may ultimately limit potential
adaptation and exacerbate population declines. The Gulf
and Atlantic Coastal Plain physiographic region has the
second highest level of endemism in the continental USA,
but habitat fragmentation and...

Winter climate is expected to change under future climate scenarios, yet the majority of winter ecology research is focused in cold-climate ecosystems. In many temperate systems, it is unclear how winter climate relates to biotic responses during the growing season. The objective of this study was to examine how winter...

The global terrestrial carbon sink offsets one-third of the world’s fossil fuel emissions, but the strength of this sink is highly sensitive to large-scale extreme events. In 2012, the contiguous United States experienced exceptionally warm temperatures and the most severe drought since the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s, resulting...
