In boreal forests, historical variations in the area disturbed by natural disturbances or
harvesting have rarely been compared. We measured temporal and spatial variations in …

A longer, hotter, and drier fire season is projected for the Pacific Northwest under future
climate scenarios, and the area burned by wildfires is projected to increase as a result. Fuel …

This Revised Recovery Plan builds extensively on the 1992 Draft Recovery Plan for the
Northern Spotted Owl (USFWS 1992b), the 1994 NWFP (USDA and USDI 1994a, b), and the …

We estimated the historical range of variability (HRV) of forest landscape structure under
natural disturbance regimes at the scale of a physiographic province (Oregon Coast Range …

Emulating natural forest disturbance is an increasingly popular forest management
paradigm that is considered a means of achieving forest sustainability. Adopting this goal …

Using a landscape simulation model, we examined ecological and economic implications of
forest policies designed to emulate the historical fire regime across the 2× 106 ha Oregon …

Abstract Huston's Dynamic Equilibrium Hypothesis predicts that the response of biodiversity
to disturbance varies with productivity. Because disturbance is thought to break competitive …

This chapter starts with stating three essential features of novel ecosystems that distinguish
them from unaltered or hybrid systems:(1) difference in ecosystem composition, structure or …

Simulation models of disturbance and succession are being increasingly applied to
characterize landscape composition and dynamics under natural fire regimes, and to …
