Centuries of Change in Pacific Northwest Forests: Ecological Effects of Forest Simplification and Fragmentation
(2005-10-24)The forests of the Pacific Northwest have undergone significant changes in the relative proportions of various forest types, including dramatic reductions in certain habitats such as oldgrowth forests and early successional ... -
Combining multiple observations to improve our understanding of forest-snow interactions and inform forest management
Many regions of the world rely on snowmelt from seasonal snowpacks for water resources. In the Northern Hemisphere, half of the seasonal snow zone overlaps with forests which interact with both snowfall and snow on the ... -
Forests in a changing world: conifer leaf traits, community shifts, and climate change adaptation
Climate change is increasing forest vulnerability worldwide. While forest management has been an integral part of human history, climate change poses a new challenge. Mitigating and adapting to the impacts of this novel ... -
Headwater Streams and Red Alder
(University of Washington Water Center, 2005-01)This fact sheet describes a study that investigated watershed coverage of alder and dissolved nitrate concentrations in streams. Management implications and the role of red alder in water chemistry and biota are discussed. -
Implications of Working Forest Impacts on Jobs and Local Economies
(2005-10-24)The sustainability of working forests and the infrastructure of mills and other forest uses are to a substantial degree interconnected. The impact of working forests on rural jobs has been of special interest given the ... -
Innovative Responses to the Forest Practices Permitting Process
(2005-10-24)Partial Abstract: Several suggestions for easing the burden on small landowners are included and described in this paper. The first suggestion described is to extend the period of the permit from its current two years ... -
Monitoring Guidelines to Evaluate Effects of Forestry Activities on Streams in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska
(University of Washington Water Center, 1991-05)This document provides guidance for designing water quality monitoring projects and selecting monitoring parameters. Although the focus is on forest management and streams in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, a broader ... -
Review of the TFW Monitoring Program: Watershed-Scale Monitoring Pilot Project (Draft) (Schuett-Hames, 1999)
(University of Washington Water Center, 1999-07)Forested landscapes in Washington State are managed by a state forest practice management system that includes Washington forest practice rules, Watershed Analyses and landowner landscape plans. One objective of the ... -
Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Stocks: Underestimation with Common Sampling Methods, and Effects of Thinning and Fertilization Treatments in a Coastal Pacific Northwest Forest
Soil contains substantially more carbon (C) than the atmosphere and vegetation combined. Consequently, the fate of soil organic C (SOC) in response to changes in climate, land use, and management is of great concern. The ... -
Spatio-temporal Patterns of Pollinator Persistence in Temperate Coniferous Forests: Implications for Forest Management and Pollinator Conservation
Managed forests may serve as havens for native pollinators. However, very little is known about the abundance, diversity, and distribution of forest pollinators at the landscape-scale necessary to design effective long ... -
The Status of Washington State’s Forest Practice Habitat Conservation Plan: Its Origin, Objectives and Possible Value for Different Landowners
(2005-11-01)Partial Abstract: The purpose of Washington State Forest Practice Rules is to regulate certain forest operations – especially harvesting and road construction – on private lands to protect public resources. These public ...
