Bird Response To Land Use Change In Northern Argentina, David J. Flaspohler Dec 2016

Bird Response To Land Use Change In Northern Argentina, David J. Flaspohler

TechTalks

Land use change is responsible for changes in wildlife populations including declines for many species. When one land cover type is converted into another for forestry, agriculture or pasture, some bird species are harmed while others may be favored. Understanding how biodiversity responds to land use change is essential to allowing us to anticipate and respond to management options and economic drivers of change. We studied the response of a diverse bird community in an historically grassland portion of northern Argentina, where eucalyptus plantations are expanding rapidly to support timber, pulp and incipient bioenergy industries. Plantations contained the fewest bird …

The Forest Biomaterials Initiative At Michigan Tech And Across Michigan, Mark Rudnicki Nov 2016

The Forest Biomaterials Initiative At Michigan Tech And Across Michigan, Mark Rudnicki

TechTalks

The first statewide effort for a broad, cradle-to-cradle perspective of forest biomaterials originated at the MTU School of Forest Resources in 2012 and held a statewide meeting in Traverse City in 2013. The biomaterials initiative is currently a MTU university wide initiative, and is proceeding with development of educational and research programs that are envisioned to span most schools and colleges at MTU. Because of the work done in Traverse City and subsequent meetings, the Michigan Forest Biomaterials Institute (MiFBI) has evolved into an independent nonprofit with an expansive mission to enhance quality of life in Michigan by fostering sustainable …

Ico-Mark Version 1.3, Sean Ma Jeronimo, Derek J. Churchill Oct 2016

Ico-Mark Version 1.3, Sean Ma Jeronimo, Derek J. Churchill

ICO App

ICO Mark is a tablet- and phone-based application (app) developed for forest managers and forestry field crews to spatially monitor and map forest structure. ICO Mark relies on the Individuals-Clumps- Openings approach to characterizing dry forest spatial patterning, where forests are composed of varying proportions and sizes of individual trees, clumps of trees, and treeless openings. ICO Mark allows users to track individual trees and clumps for both marking pre-harvest, and for monitoring conditions post-harvest.
