ABOUT US

RESEARCH AREAS

The Biology and Culture of Forest Plants Team members are located in Corvallis, Oregon. Recent publications include PNW-GTR-513, a collection of information about economically important vascular and nonvascular plants and fungi found in the Pacific Northwest that furnish special forest products.

RECENT PUBLICATION

GTR-513 (2001) Special forests products: species information guide for the Pacific Northwest by N.C. Vance, M. Borsting, D. Pilz, and J. Freed [Abstract]

- Analyze response of understory and riparian vegetation to silvicultural management systems.

- Develop knowledge of plant ecology and biology with application to conservation and sustainable management of valuable and vulnerable plant resources.

- Increase understanding of dynamics of native and invasive nonnative plant species and how they are affected by fire and other perturbations to aid in developing restoration and remediation techniques.

Large-Scale Silvicultural Experiments In Western Oregon and Washington
Large-scale silviculture experiments (LSSEs) are silviculture experiments conducted at operational scales. As true manipulative experiments, LSSEs are characterized by such fundamental elements of experimental design as randomization, replication, and unmanipulated, “control” treatments.
