Wildland Resources Faculty Publications
Peer-reviewed publication volume and caliber are widely-recognized proxies for academic merit, and a strong publication record is essential for academic success and advancement. However, recent work suggests that publication productivity for particular author groups may also be determined in part by implicit biases lurking in the publication pipeline. Here, we explore patterns of gender, geography, and institutional rank among authors, editorial board members, and handling editors in high-impact ecological publications during 2015 and 2016. A higher proportion of lead authors had female first names (33.9%) than editorial board members (28.9%), and the proportion of female first names among handling editors …
Disturbance Ecology And Vegetation Dynamics At Varying Spatial And Temporal Scales In Southern Rocky Mountain Engelmann Spruce Forests, R. Justin Derose
Disturbance Ecology And Vegetation Dynamics At Varying Spatial And Temporal Scales In Southern Rocky Mountain Engelmann Spruce Forests, R. Justin Derose
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
High-severity disturbances are the primary drivers of Engelmann spruce-subalpine fir ecosystems in the southern Rocky Mountain. Recently, an unprecedented, landscape-wide (at least 250 km2) spruce beetle outbreak killed virtually all the Engelmann spruce on the Markagunt Plateau in southwestern Utah, USA. Results from dendroecological analyses suggested the combination of antecedent disturbance history and drought-driven stand development was responsible for creating suitable host conditions prior to the recent outbreak. Multiple and consistent lines of evidence suggested mixed- and high-severity fires shaped the development of the Markagunt Plateau. Subsequent stand development, influenced by species-specific differential tree-ring response to drought, resulted in the …
Ecology And Management Of Larix Forests: A Look Ahead ... Proceedings Of An International Symposium, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service
Ecology And Management Of Larix Forests: A Look Ahead ... Proceedings Of An International Symposium, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service
Forestry
This proceedings is the product of an international symposium on the Larix species of North America, Europe, and Asia. Western larch, an important species in the Western United States and Canada, was featured. The symposium included information on ecology, management, silviculture, regeneration processes, growth, wildlife, vegetation succession, silvics, history, genetics, breeding and provenance testing, physiology, fire, insects and disease, and research need. This proceedings illustrates the importance of Larix in the temperate forests of the Northern Hemisphere.

Breeding Birds In Uncut Aspen And 6- To 10-Year-Old Clearcuts In Southwestern Colorado, V.E. Scott, G.L. Crouch
Breeding Birds In Uncut Aspen And 6- To 10-Year-Old Clearcuts In Southwestern Colorado, V.E. Scott, G.L. Crouch
Aspen Bibliography
Numbers of breeding birds were estimated for various sizes and ages of clearcuts, for edge habitat created by the clearcuts, leave strips between clearcuts, and uncut aspen forest (controls). Total numbers of birds were not different among three size classes or five age classes of clearcuts. Total were lower on clearcuts than on edges but not different from controls or leave strips.

Response Of Breeding Birds To Commercial Clearcutting Of Aspen In Southwestern Colorado [Usa], V.E. Scott, G.L. Crouch
Aspen Bibliography
Breeding birds on an aspen forest in southwestern Colorado increased in species diversity after 25% of the timber sale area forest was clearcut in patches of 3 to 20 acres. Bird population density on the forest with clearcuts was not significantly different from that on an uncut forest. Of the 20 species evaluated, six were more and one was less abundant than on the uncut forest.

Effects Of Recreation (Trampling) On The Forest Floor And Associated Streams Of Aspen And Conifer Forests, M.C. Molles, J.R. Gosz, R.G. Cates
Effects Of Recreation (Trampling) On The Forest Floor And Associated Streams Of Aspen And Conifer Forests, M.C. Molles, J.R. Gosz, R.G. Cates
Aspen Bibliography
Heavy trampling significantly reduced the biomass of understory vegetation in aspen stands subject to different management procedures (thinning, fertilization). Light trampling also resulted in lower understory biomass except where it was performed in a fertilized aspen stand which had an understory community dominated by grasses. The grass community appears to be more resistant to trampling. Coverage by the understory was also reduced by both heavy and light trampling in aspen stands. The sparse understory of spruce-fir forests was not significantly changed. Trampling fragmented the forest floor in aspen but not in spruce-fir.
Aspen [Populus Tremuloides] Community Types On The Bridger-Teton National Forest In Western Wyoming [Including A Key With Indicator Species], Andrew P. Youngblood, Walter F. Mueggler
Aspen [Populus Tremuloides] Community Types On The Bridger-Teton National Forest In Western Wyoming [Including A Key With Indicator Species], Andrew P. Youngblood, Walter F. Mueggler
Aspen Bibliography
A classification system is presented for aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) dominated forests on the Bridger-Teton National Forest in western Wyoming. Twenty-six aspen community types are defined and described. A diagnostic key that utilizes indicator plant species is provided for field identification of the community types. Vegetation composition, environment, productivity, relationship to surrounding vegetation, and successional status are discussed. Tables are provided for detailed comparisons.

Aspen Grove Use By Deer, Elk, And Cattle In Southwestern Coniferous Forests, Hudson G. Reynolds
Aspen Grove Use By Deer, Elk, And Cattle In Southwestern Coniferous Forests, Hudson G. Reynolds
Aspen Bibliography
Aspen groves within mixed conifer forests produce more herbaceous understory than adjacent forest. Thinning aspen groves improves herbaceous understory and aspen regeneration. Higher deer and cattle use of aspen groves is associated with the greater abundance of understory vegetation.
