Boundary Spanning: Its Role In Trust Development Between Stakeholders In Integrated Water Resource Management, Jodi Lynn Delozier, Mark E. Burbach
School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications
This study sheds light on the importance of boundary spanners in developing the conditions that foster trust between stakeholders in integrated water resource management (IWRM). Boundary spanners routinely reach across organizational borders to build interconnections and interdependencies in order to manage complex problems, inform policy, and encourage knowledge sharing. The importance of the boundary spanning role has been shown in organizational business practices, urban planning, and higher education yet little research exists on its impact in IWRM. The mixed methods approach used in this study involved surveying and interviewing individuals with previous experience with IWRM in Nebraska. The results of …

Challenges And Opportunities For Agroforestry Practitioners To Participate In State Preferential Property Tax Programs For Agriculture And Forestry, Stephanie Chizmar, Rajan Parajuli, Gregory E. Frey, Robert E. Bardon, Robert Andrew Branan, Katherine Macfarland, Matthew Smith, Lord Ameyaw
School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications
All 50 states offer preferential property tax programs that lower the taxes paid on enrolled agricultural and/or forest lands. While agroforestry is a land-use that combines elements of both agriculture and forestry, eligibility criteria and other rules and regulations may prevent landowners from enrolling agroforestry practices in one or more of the agricultural and forestry tax programs. This pilot-scale study developed conceptual and methodological frameworks to identify the current barriers to and opportunities in preferential tax policies applicable to agroforestry practices. We conducted an extensive review of state preferential property tax programs relevant for agroforestry practices, following focus group discussions …

Overcoming An “Irreversible” Threshold: A 15-Year Fire Experiment,

Overcoming An “Irreversible” Threshold: A 15-Year Fire Experiment, Christine H. Bielski, Rheinhardt Scholtz, Victoria Donovan, Craig R. Allen, Dirac Twidwell
School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications
A key pursuit in contemporary ecology is to differentiate regime shifts that are truly irreversible from those that are hysteretic. Many ecological regime shifts have been labeled as irreversible without exploring the full range of variability in stabilizing feedbacks that have the potential to drive an ecological regime shift back towards a desirable ecological regime. Removing fire from grasslands can drive a regime shift to juniper woodlands that cannot be reversed using typical fire frequency and intensity thresholds, and has thus been considered irreversible. This study uses a unique, long-term experimental fire landscape co-dominated by grassland and closed-canopy juniper woodland …

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications
Ecosystem functioning and community structure are recognized as key components of ecosystem integrity, but comprehensive, standardized studies of the responses of both structural and functional indicators to different types of anthropogenic pressures remain rare. Consequently, we lack an empirical basis for (i) identifying when monitoring ecosystem structure alone misses important changes in ecosystem functioning, (ii) recommending sets of structural and functional metrics best suited for detecting ecological change driven by different anthropogenic pressures, and (iii) understanding the cumulative effects of multiple, co-occurring stressors on structure and function. We investigated variation in community structure and ecosystem functioning of stream ecosystems along …

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications
The Aransas-Wood Buffalo population of Whooping Cranes (Grus americana) migrates approximately 4000 km through the central Great Plains biannually, between their breeding and wintering grounds. Whooping Cranes depend on stopover sites to provide secure resting locations and the caloric resources necessary to complete their migration, such as the USFWS-designated critical habitat area in the Central Platte River Valley (CPRV) of Nebraska. This area includes braided river habitat characterized by low-elevation and submerged sandbars, which provide important roosting and foraging opportunities for migrating Whooping Cranes. We used long-range photography, videography, and behavioral scan sampling to document forage items consumed by Whooping …

Motivations To Participate In Hunting And Angling: A Comparison Among Preferred Activities And State Of Residence, Matthew P. Hinrichs, Mark P. Vrtiska, Mark Pegg, Christopher J. Chizinski
School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications
Motivations for hunting and fishing extend beyond harvesting game and include social, psychological, emotional, and physical benefits. We used data from a web-based questionnaire to compare relationships between preferred hunting or fishing activity types, state of residence, and motivations of hunters and anglers across the central United States (U.S.). Exploratory factor analysis yielded four motivation factors: nature, social, food, and challenge. Differences in terms of state were negligible across all motivation factors (η2p < .01), indicating similarity across states. Nature (η2p = .01) and social (η2p < .01) factors were the first and …
