Forest disturbance regimes are beginning to show evidence of climate-mediated changes,
such as increasing severity of droughts and insect outbreaks. We review the major insects …

Abstract The 1994 Northwest Forest Plan signified a watershed moment for natural resource
management on federal lands in the Pacific Northwest. It established clear priorities for …

Vegetation changes in karst areas are controlled by the soil formation rate (SFR) and soil
moisture (SM). However, little is known about their thresholds and global control patterns. To …

Disturbances are key drivers of forest ecosystem dynamics, and forests are well adapted to
their natural disturbance regimes. However, as a result of climate change, disturbance …

Spatially explicit information on the species composition and structure of forest vegetation is
needed at broad spatial scales for natural resource policy analysis and ecological research …

Relatively little is known about the disturbance ecology of large wildfires in the southern
Appalachians. The occurrence of a 4000-ha wildfire in the Linville Gorge Wilderness area in …

Forests dominated by Douglas‐fir and western hemlock in the Pacific Northwest of the
United States have strongly influenced concepts and policy concerning old‐growth forest …

Riparian areas of large streams provide important habitat to many species and control many
instream processes—but is the same true for the margins of small streams? This review …

Although landscape ecology emphasizes the effects of spatial pattern on ecological
processes, most neutral models of species–habitat relationships have treated habitat as a …

Human modification of forest habitats is a major component of global environmental change.
Even areas that remain predominantly forested may be changed considerably by human …
