The Status of Riparian Habitats in Pacific Northwest Forests"
It has been conservatively estimated that there are 74,356 kIn of running waters in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, Idaho) that can C'r do support fisheries (Brin son et aI. 1981). On public lands in Oregon, the Bureau of Land Management (1980) es timates that 71,135 ha are dominated by riparian communities. These ecosystems are among the most productive wildlife habitats in North ...
متن کاملBiodiversity management approaches for stream–riparian areas: Perspectives for Pacific Northwest headwater forests, microclimates, and amphibians
Stream–riparian areas represent a nexus of biodiversity, with disproportionate numbers of species tied to and interacting within this key habitat. New research in Pacific Northwest headwater forests, especially the characterization of microclimates and amphibian distributions, is expanding our perspective of riparian zones, and suggests the need for alternative designs to manage stream–riparian...
متن کاملAddressing the Productivity Paradox: The Need for a Psychophysiological Perspective
In this paper, we argue that the "Psychophysiological Perspective" has a valuable contribution to make to our understanding of the impact of new technology on individual and organizational performance. In essence,'.the psychophysiological perspective views the human agent as a "multi-component, multi-modal system" made up of interacting physiological, behavioral and experiential subsystems (Gal...
متن کاملVariability of Stand Structures and Development in Old-Growth Forests in the Pacific Northwest, USA
The forest stand structure class “old-growth” has previously been qualitatively described as having several distinct “sub-structures.” Species composition, diameter distribution, and other structural features commonly associated with old-growth in the Pacific Northwest are quite variable. We determined which quantitative stand structure variables are commonly found together using the Spearman c...
متن کاملRisk assessment for biodiversity conservation planning in Pacific Northwest forests
Risk assessment can provide a robust strategy for landscape-scale planning challenges associated with species conservation and habitat protection in Pacific Northwest forests. We provide an overview of quantitative and probabilistic ecological risk assessment with focus on the application of approaches and influences from the actuarial, financial, and technical engineering fields. Within this c...
