Forests in a changing world: conifer leaf traits, community shifts, and climate change adaptation
… 3, I assessed whether thinning forest stands for old-growth restoration reduces landscape buffering capacity (in the form of climate change refugia) in a watershed-level experimental forest. I found that variation in remote sensing vegetation indices can be good proxies for climate change refugia …

Heterogeneity of Stand Structure, Fuels, and Wildfire Hazard in Dry and Moist Old-Growth Ponderosa Pine Forests: Case Studies from Western Montana
Silvicultural restoration treatments are increasingly proposed to restore ecological function and remediate catastrophic wildfire hazards in old-growth ponderosa pine stands throughout the western United States. However, stand heterogeneity has been inadequately addressed in restoration and fuel …

Applications of ecological modeling in managing Central Appalachian upland oak stands for old-growth characteristics
Old-growth forests provide important habitat for wildlife, support the maintenance of biodiversity and serve as control areas for scientific research. Expanding current old-growth stand area by utilizing neighboring younger, managed stands allows private landowners to meet management needs and …
