Habitat influences on avian diversity and reproductive success in western aspen forests
… America. A major correlate of aspen decline is conifer encroachment, where conifer trees gradually replace aspen trees through competition for space and light. Conifer encroachment on an aspen stand may increase bird diversity by increasing vegetation complexity. The presence of conifers may …

Hydrologic Response to Conifer Removal and Upslope Harvest in an Encroached Montane Meadow
… change, over grazing, and fire suppression, conifer encroachment into meadows has accelerated. In some western regions, nearly half of all meadow habitat has been loss due to conifer encroachment. Restoration of these hydrologic systems requires tree removal. Many studies exist that address …

The Water Table and Soil Moisture Response Following the Removal of Conifers from an Encroached Meadow
… role in the physical and biologic processes of coniferous forests in the western United States. However, due to climate change, over grazing, and fire suppression, conifer encroachment into meadows has accelerated. In some western regions, nearly half of all meadow habitat has been loss due to …

The Water Table, Soil Moisture and Evapotranspiration Conditions Following the Removal of Conifers from Two Encroached Meadows
… meadows have experienced increased rates of conifer encroachment due to climate change, fire suppression and grazing. To combat meadow degradation from conifer encroachment, land managers have employed various restoration strategies one of which is conifer removal. Multiple studies have …

Estimating and Modeling Transpiration of a Mountain Meadow Encroached by Conifers Using Sap Flow Measurements
… western USA are experiencing increased rates of conifer encroachment due to climate change and land management practices. Past research has focused on conifer removal as a meadow restoration strategy, but there has been limited work on conifer transpiration in a pre-restoration state. Meadow …

Hydrologic Response to Conifer Removal from an Encroached Mountain Meadow
… environmental and anthropogenic stressors. The encroachment of conifers beyond forest meadow ecotones is largely responsible for the decline of meadow habitat throughout the past century. Currently, there is little research that quantifies the hydrologic response to removal of conifers …
