A wildfire on the Northern Yellowstone Winter Range (NYWR) was studied 19 years after burning to compare relative re-establishment of three big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) and three rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus Nutt.) taxa. Recovery was…

Many of the accidents that organizations face are a result of complex interactions between multiple events and with multiple actors. They cannot be explained as being only one group or individual’s “fault”. In this book, Perrow investigates the…

Categories of papers in the "Ecological Session" were history and ecological change, distribution, classification, ecology, and physiology, succession and diversity, and disease. Substantial changes have taken place in pinyon-juniper…

Thresholds are important to understanding Great Basin ecology. Once a threshold has been crossed, the new community may have very different functional capabilities than the previous community. Management action needs to occur well before a threshold…

Visitors to National Forests in Colorado, Idaho, and Wyoming were asked how their visitation rates would change with the presence of a high-intensity crown fire, prescribed fire, and a 20-year-old high-intensity fire at the area they were visiting.…

Fuel treatment activities are analyzed at the landscape scale by using both simulation and optimization. Simulating vegetative patterns and processes at landscape scales (SIMPPLLE), a stochastic simulation modeling system, is initially applied to…

In many western Montana ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) stands, fire suppression and past selective logging of large trees have resulted in conditions favoring succession to dense stands of shade-tolerant, but insect- and disease-prone Douglas-fir…

In 1974, two clearcuts, two shelterwoods, and two sets of eight group selections (equally divided between two elevation zones) were harvested on the Coram Experimental Forest in northwestern Montana. Four levels of tree and residue utilization were…

Recent fires have renewed interest in fire's effect on different components of the ecosystems, particularly erosion and soil productivity. Our objectives were to (1) determine hillslope erosion rates after a high severity wildfire in an unmanaged…

In the West, thinning and partial cuttings are being considered for treating millions of forested acres that are overstocked and prone to wildfire. The objectives of these treatments include tree growth redistribution, tree species regulation,…

The principal native trees in the semiarid regions of southern Alberta are riparian cottonwoods. These include narrowleaf cottonwood, Populus angustifolia James, balsam poplar, Populus balsamifera ssp. balsamifera L., black cottonwood, Populus…

The 1988 fires in Yellowstone National Park provided an opportunity to study effects of a large infrequent disturbance on a natural community. This study addressed two questions: (1) How does prefire heterogeneity of the landscape affect postfire…

A symposium held September 15-18, 1997, in Provo, UT, and Sanpete County, UT, provided information on the ecology, management, resource values, and restoration of pinyon-juniper communities in the Interior Western United States. The conference was…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Juniperus osteosperma (Utah juniper) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, and fire management considerations. Information is also provided on the species…
Year Published:
The development of mature juniper woodlands has often been associated with decreases in the herbaceous and shrub components of the community. This study focused on changes in species richness and diversity along a successional gradient at both the…

We assessed the influence of riparian disturbance on 26 stream variables in Linesville Creek and six tributaries, in northwestern Pennsylvania, USA. Redundancy analysis, a canonical ordination technique. was used in three separate analyses to test…
