Spatially explicit inter-temporal forest management decision under the risk of fire

Creator:: Konoshima, Masashi
Abstract:: This paper presents a framework for analyzing efficient spatial allocation of forest management efforts - fuel treatment and harvest - under the risk of fire. The framework integrates a fire behavior model and a spatially-explicit stochastic dynamic optimization model. I investigate the effects of spatial interaction across plots during forest...

Modeling animal movement to manage landscapes

Creator:: Larson-Praplan, Stephanie
Abstract:: Managing rangelands with livestock grazing is a tool that can be applied to obtain vegetation management objectives. Animals utilize available resources, which vary in quantity and quality, across the landscape. Their movements are adjusted to the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of resource distribution. Controlling livestock distribution is fundamental to economically...

Estimating large woody debris recruitment from adjacent riparian areas

Creator:: Minor, Kathleen P.
Abstract:: Large woody debris recruitment to streams from adjacent riparian forests influences stream channel morphology, sediment routing, and fish habitat. A mathematical model was developed to 1) determine whether the trees in a stand adjacent to a stream, upon falling, would provide large woody debris of a specified size to the...

Resource limited competition of two species : a dynamic model of a perturbed neutrally stable system

Creator:: Peterson, Bruce Alan, 1947-
Abstract:: An hierarchically structured resource flow competition model for two species is developed. The model is shown to be intrinsically neutrally stable with a dynamical behavior derived from perturbation responses. The model properties are contrasted with those of a conventionally interpreted Lotka-Volterra competition model. A simulation developed from the model is...

A model of trophic evolutionary pathways

Creator:: Morris, A. Kimo
Abstract:: Calow (1983) realized that differences between parasites and their free-living relatives can be explained by the differences in nutrient richness. I propose a model that is based on Calow's idea which identifies the relative position of different trophic strategies (e.g. predation, grazing, parasitism and others) based on (1) the differences...

Conifer : a model of carbon and water flow through a coniferous forest : revised documentation

Creator:: Sollins, P., Brown, Alfred T., Swartzman, G. L. (Gordon L.), and U.S. International Biological Program. Coniferous Forest Biome
Abstract:: CONIFER simulates water, carbon, and energy dynamics of a coniferous forest. The model consists of 29 nonlinear difference equations. Measured driving variables include air temperature, dew point temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, and wind speed. Water and energy variables are updated daily; carbon variables are updated weekly. This report contains a...

Trophic relation model based on density dependent processes

Creator:: Warren, Charles E., 1926-, U.S. International Biological Program. Coniferous Forest Biome, and University of Washington
Abstract:: "We have developed graphical and logical models for explaining the production of a consumer on the basis of the capacity of an ecosystem to produce that consumer (the productivity of the system for that consumer), on the basis of the biomass of the consumer, and on the basis of the...

The use of logistic regression for developing habitat association models

Creator:: Sjamsoe'oed, Roza
Abstract:: Quantitative habitat models of wildlife-habitat relationships are developed to formalize our current understanding about an ecological system. A habitat association model is one of these models that is useful for answering questions about how the habitat is occupied, how much growth habitat is required by the animal, or how the...
