Applegate Adaptive Management Area Research and Monitoring
Title: Density Management/Bark Beetles Lower Thompson CreekPurpose:
Compare three density management treatments on overstocked
Douglas-fir/ponderosa pine stands that are high risk for bark beetle
attack to determine if incidence if disease is reduced.
Title: Wild Wonder Timber SalePurpose:
To determine the effects of commercial thinning on Del Norte salamander
populations and habitat.
Title: Density Management/Bark Beetles - French GulchPurpose:
Compare three density management treatments on overstocked
Douglas-fir/ponderosa pine stands that are high risk for bark beetle
attack to determine if incidence of disease is reduced. Title: Kanaka Research Burn ProjectPurpose: Enhance native bunchgrass and oak communities over time by periodic
burning and additional seeding. Burning will be designed in accordance to
perceived principles of aboriginal land management. Title: Scattered Apples Timber Sale -- impact of timber harvest on bird populationsPurpose: Assess impact of modified group select timber harvest prescriptions on
breeding and wintering bird populations within the Timber Sale area. Title: William Port-Orford Cedar Management Project -- microclimatePurpose: Assess impact of timber harvest on microclimate. Title: Log Skidding Using Plastic ChutesPurpose: Evaluate the potential effectiveness and application of plastic chute
technology for a range of uses in Southern Oregon, as well as develop the
necessary proficiency in estimating costs, productivity, and necessary
training strategies for its use. Title: Revegetating High Elevation Sites 96 - McDonald BasinPurpose:
Evaluate factors affecting germination and growth of native grasses on
high elevation sites. Evaluate different methods of establishing conifers
and brush species on red fir barrens. Title: Cedar Log RNA BurnPurpose:
Monitor herps and insect population response to broadcast burning in a
serpentine grassland/Jeffrey pine plant community. Work to be done by
Nature Conservancy and ODFW may do monitoring. Title: Tree Planting, Stocking, and Survival On Forest Service LandsPurpose: Monitor success of artificial reforestation program. Title: Effects of Partial Overstory Removal on Stand Structure, Growth, and PlantPurpose: Through retrospective study, provide information on how past manipulation
of over-story tree density has affected the growth and development of
over-story and under-story vegetation in second-growth Douglas-fir of
western Oregon. Title: Impact of New Timber Harvest Methods on Bird PopulationsPurpose:
Assess potential impact of new timber harvest methods on breeding and
wintering bird populations. Title: Stand treatments and fire management conditionsPurpose:
To quantify silviculture and fire management characteristics of stands
currently being treated to produce defensible fuel profile zones. Title: Tree Planting, Stocking, and Survival On BLM LandsPurpose:
Monitor success of artificial reforestation program. Title; Old Growth Developmental PathwayPurpose:
Determine what factors are most influential in the development of
old-growth forest characteristics in southwestern Oregon. Specific
objectives include a determination of the role of disturbance,
particularly fire, in tree establishment and stand development, the
significance of coarse woody debris, and the physical site characteristics
that facilitate late-succession forest structures. Title: Beaver PolePurpose:
Determine effects of commercial thinning with the riparian reserves of
intermittent stream channels. Title: Eastside thinPurpose:
Determine the effects of commercial thinning using a harvester/forwarder
with the riparian reserves of intermittent streams. Title: Community capacity to use spatial informationPurpose:
Develop and test methods for enhancing the capacity or rural communities
in the Applegate to use geographic information system and other
information technologies to facilitate increased participation in
ecosystem management, land use planning and other local activities. |
