Taking It To The Road: Utah Biochar Workshops Increase Knowledge And Lead To Behavior Change, Megan Dettenmaier, Lauren Dupey, Darren Mcavoy
Taking It To The Road: Utah Biochar Workshops Increase Knowledge And Lead To Behavior Change, Megan Dettenmaier, Lauren Dupey, Darren Mcavoy
All Current Publications
This fact sheet describes attitude and behavior changes that have resulted from attending the statewide biochar workshop program. By administering surveys 6 to 8 months following workshops, authors learned that attendees were making biochar and biochar kilns, and that attitudes about biochar remained positive.
Mule Deer Impede Pando’S Recovery: Implications For Aspen Resilience From A Single-Genotype Forest, Paul C. Rogers, Darren J. Mcavoy
Mule Deer Impede Pando’S Recovery: Implications For Aspen Resilience From A Single-Genotype Forest, Paul C. Rogers, Darren J. Mcavoy
Ecology Center Publications
Aspen ecosystems (upland Populus-dominated forests) support diverse species assemblages in many parts of the northern hemisphere, yet are imperiled by common stressors. Extended drought, fire suppression, human development, and chronic herbivory serve to limit the sustainability of this keystone species. Here we assess conditions at a renowned quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) grove—purportedly the largest living organism on earth—with ramifications for aspen biogeography globally. The “Pando” clone is 43 ha and estimated to contain 47,000 genetically identical aspen ramets. This iconic forest is threatened in particular by herbivory, and current management activities aim to reverse the potential for …
Seeing The Forest For The Trees: Managing Social Conflict And Forest Restoration, Steven E. Daniels, Jens Emborg, Greg B. Walker
Seeing The Forest For The Trees: Managing Social Conflict And Forest Restoration, Steven E. Daniels, Jens Emborg, Greg B. Walker
Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology Faculty Publications
This paper examines the role that social conflict is likely to play in forest restoration projects. A definition of conflict as “perceived goal interference among interdependent parties” serves as a point of departure for the discussion, and the nature of forest restoration conflict is systematically examined by focusing on each aspect of the definition: perceptions, goal interference, the parties, and their interdependence. Agencies undertaking restoration projects are encouraged to adopt a discourse orientation, wherein they recognize that 1) their public involvement efforts are creating a discourse that can incorporate a wide array of values and voices and 2) groups may …

Aspen Sucker Damage And Defect In Colorado Clearcut Areas, Thomas E. Hinds, W.D. Shepperd
Aspen Bibliography
Substantial acreages of aspen in the Rocky Mountains are being regenerated by clearcutting; however, there is little information on the quality of the suckers that reestablish in these areas. Whether the new stands will be more or less defective than their predecessors is unknown.

Effect Of An Aspen Clearcutting On Water Yield And Quality In Northern Minnesota, Elon S. Verry
Effect Of An Aspen Clearcutting On Water Yield And Quality In Northern Minnesota, Elon S. Verry
Aspen Bibliography
The impact of different forest types on streamflow or groundwater recharge must be considered in evaluating multiple-use alternatives. The impact of species conversion on streamflow has been directly measured at the Coweeta Experimental Watersheds in North Carolina. However, the use of net precipitation1 data, with appropriate cautions, provides a practical basis for estimating water yield differences between forest types where long-term streamflow comparisons are not available.
