Effects of Cattle Management on Oak Regeneration in Northern Californian Mediterranean Oak Woodlands
Oak woodlands of Mediterranean ecosystems, a major component of biodiversity hotspots in Europe and North America, have undergone significant land-use change in recent centuries, including an increase in grazing intensity due to the widespread presence of cattle. Simultaneously, a decrease in oak regeneration has been observed, suggesting a link between cattle grazing intensity and limited oak ...
متن کاملMonitoring Understory Composition of Blue Oak Woodlands on Conservation Easements
Conservation easements are an increasingly popular strategy for conserving biological diversity on private land. Long-term vegetation monitoring on conservation easements can provide critical information on persistence of biological diversity and abundance of invasive species. We sampled understory plant composition on five of The Nature Conservancy’s conservation easements in the Mt. Lassen fo...
متن کاملManagement of California Oak Woodlands : Uncertainties and Modeling 1
A mathematical policy model of oak woodlands is presented. The model illustrates the policy uncertainties that exist in the management of oak woodlands. These uncertainties include: (1) selection of a policy criterion function, (2) woodland dynamics, (3) initial and final state of the woodland stock. The paper provides a review of each of the uncertainty issues. The final section of the paper d...
متن کاملAdaptive Management on Sustainability of Cork Oak Woodlands
The cork oak woodland production systems result from the integration of conflicting activities in the same space creating the need of constant search of equilibrium between its components in order to achieve sustainability. In a climate change environment, associated with recent modifications in rural societies, adaptive management concepts are needed so as to maintain cork oak woodland systems...
