The practice of modern silviculture on U.S. public lands has been stymied by a legacy of litigation and policy changes since the late 20th century.

This publication consists of a rule set for benthic habitat classification implemented in eCognition (Trimble Navigation Limited). The details of the procedure are described in Parrish et al., 2016: http://www.jcronline.org/doi/abs/10.2112/SI76-017. The input to the classification consists of high-resolution true color orthophotos, seafloor DEMs from topobathymetric lidar, and gridded lidar reflectance...
Phytophthora ramorum, an oomycete plant pathogen, is the causal agent of sudden oak death, a serious disease of Fagaceous trees in California and Oregon over the last decade. Tanoak (Notholithocarpus densiflorus) is one of the most susceptible host species, but the cause of host mortality is poorly understood. Previous research...
In order to efficiently reduce toxic loading to the Columbia River basin, sources and pathways need to be identified. Little is known about the toxic loadings coming from wastewater-treatment facilities and stormwater runoff in the system. This study provides preliminary data on these sources and pathways throughout the basin. The...
