Forest Ecology California Tahoe Conservancy My CA Forest Ecology Program The forest habitats of the Tahoe basin have been significantly impacted by human activity since European discovery in 1844. During the period from 1870 to 1890, many of the forests in Tahoe were clearcut to be used as firewood, shoring for mines, and homes in support of the Comstock mining operations in Virginia City. In particular, large old growth trees which can take 300 to 400 years to grow back were cut down. Fire, which was an important natural process in the forests, has been eliminated over the past hundred years in response to a nation-wide policy of aggressive fire suppression. As a result, today's forests are less structurally diverse and support fewer wildlife species, including many sensitive species. The Forest Ecology program focuses on restoring the forested habitats of the Tahoe Basin through direct implementation of projects on Conservancy property. These projects are designed to improve habitat, reduce fire threat, and promote natural processes through the reintroduction of prescribed fire, thinning of conifer and aspen stands, and road obliterations. Recognizing its importance in naturally functioning forests, prescribed fire is being emphasized to restore habitat diversity by creating a mosaic of vegetation types and ages. Fire also reduces the threat of wildfire by consuming understory vegetation and ground fuels. However, important habitat features such as snags, logs, and large trees, are protected prior to conducting burns.

Pitcairn Islands Very little remain of the original native Irish forests. Some stands of semi-natural woodlands are still found on unproductive land, especially scree slopes. These woodlands are characterized by a lack of regeneration of native shrub and tree species and in many areas by the spread of a number of alien species. Woodlands are usually overgrazed but when herbivores are excluded little regeneration takes place as succession is often prevented by dense grass swards. Even in the absence of grazing native trees often fail to regenerate. Where regeneration takes place, it is usually limited to the close vicinity of fruiting trees. On an abandoned escarpment on the north coast of Ireland the regeneration of ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ) is being investigated in relation to the gender and spatial distribution of mature trees. Vegetation succession on sand dune systems has been investigated with special reference to the establishment of woodland following the spread of sea buckthorn ( Hippophae rhamnoides ) thickets.

90. Logging For The 21st Century: Forest Ecology And Regeneration Explains how the idea of good forest management is changing from protection ofsoils and tree growth to encompassing the factors of wildlife habitat, http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/naturalresources/DD6517.html

FO-06517 1995 To Order Logging for the 21st Century: Forest Ecology and Regeneration Mathew Smidt and Charles R. Blinn Table of Contents Logging and Forest Ecology Biodiversity Nutrient Cycling Forest Health ... Suggested Reading Introduction Back to Table of Contents Forest management is changing. Good management once meant simply protecting soils and regenerating forests following timber harvest. Today, however, we know that the forests need more than fertile soil and young trees to be productive over the long term. We also know that for many people wildlife habitat, recreation, and aesthetics are at least as important as timber production. This means managing for more than just trees. It means managing to protect the many other benefits that forests provide, too. As our view of forest management is changing, so too is our understanding of how to maintain a productive forest. Maintaining forest cover is certainly the most important aspect. However, other things are important, too. The species of trees, shrubs, and other plants that regenerate, the removal of nutrients by harvest, and soil disturbance all affect forest productivity. Loggers and foresters today must pay attention to these as well as to traditional silvicultural considerations when planning and carrying out a harvest. This publication provides loggers, foresters, and nonindustrial private forest landowners with information about forest productivity and forest regeneration. Alternative logging methods are suggested to maintain forest productivity and to promote forest regeneration. A glossary is included at the end of the publication to define key terms.

space for advertisement Haemig PD Ecology of the Coast Redwood. ECOLOGY INFO Ecology of the Coast Redwood Note: This online review is updated and revised continuously, as soon as results of new scientific research become available. It therefore presents state-of-the-art information on the topic it covers. The Coast Redwood ( Sequoia sempervirens ) grows naturally along the Pacific Coast of North America from c entral California north to s outhern Oregon . Its distribution is correlated with that of the thickest part of the "California fog belt" where, each day during the summer, cool fog moves off the ocean and onto land. See Figure 1 Because less rainfall occurs during summer in California, redwoods are dependent upon this fog to get enough moisture to grow and survive. Studies show that fog supplies 13-45% of the total water used annually by redwoods (Dawson 1998), and that redwood leaves can even absorb some water directly from the fog (Burgess and Dawson 2004). In addition, fog blocks the evaporating rays of direct sunlight, reducing the amount of water that redwoods lose by transpiration (Byers 1953; Azevedo and Morgan 1974; Burgess and Dawson 2004). When fog comes into contact with redwood trees, it condenses into liquid water and drips off the foliage onto the ground. In this way, redwoods and other giant trees "strip water" from the fog and drip it onto the ground, where it is used not only by the redwoods but by other plants as well.

GIS in Plant Ecology Annotated References (Publications) Annotated References (Web Links) This annotated bibliography was created by Dylan Keon during winter term 1999. It was designed to fulfill the individual project requirement for GEO 565 at Oregon State University , taught by Dr. Dawn Wright . This bibliography is by no means inclusive...the citations listed here represent a small subset of the published literature! Geographic information systems have become increasingly useful tools in many natural resource disciplines, including plant ecology. The ability to track vegetation change through time and to make predictions about future vegetation change are just two of the many possible uses of GIS. On this page I cite examples of some interesting uses of GIS within plant ecology, including examples of research involving the analysis and prediction of vegetation change. Useful GIS and mapping web links are also included. Annotated References (Publications) top of page Bakker, S. A., N. J. Van den Berg, and B. P. Speleers. 1994.

It aims at being a centre of forest research and expertise for ecological, forest management, and societal topics concerning the functioning of Dutch and international forest landscapes. Scientific and applied studies are carried out based on historical analyses, monitoring data, ecological assessment studies and simulation models. Forest Ecosystems is intended to combine the ecological and historical understanding of processes driving forest dynamics from the stand to the landscape scale with forest management and environmental topics up to the European scale. Results are used both for forest management decisions and (inter)national policy preparation.
