Waldien, D.L., J.P. Hayes. 2006. Influence of Alternative Silviculture on Small Mammals. U.S. Geological Survey: Fact Sheet FS 2006-3100, 4 pp. |
 |
A variety of harvesting methods can be used as alternatives to traditional clearcutting to promote structural diversity within forests and provide commodity production. However, our understanding of wildlife response in general, and small mammals in particular, to these methods is poorly developed. This fact sheet summarizes research that examines small mammal response to different
silvicultural systems 8–12 years following harvest and in the two years following the addition of downed wood.

 |
The BLM established the Density Management Study (DMS) in 1994 to develop and test options for young stand management to meet Northwest Forest Plan objectives in western Oregon. Preliminary results on riparian microclimates, aquatic vertebrates, leave islands and other topics are providing a basis for monitoring and adaptive management in young forests of the Pacific Northwest. An overview of the DMS is provided in this 6 page factsheet.

 |
Debris flows in steep, headwater streams often transport sediment and wood to downstream reaches, leaving behind a channel that has been scoured to bedrock. The erosion of a channel to bedrock provides a unique opportunity to measure the rate at which wood and sediment refill a channel.

M., J.P. Hayes, and J.L. Erickson. 2003. Influence
of Forest Management on Headwater Stream Amphibians
at Multiple Spatial Scales. U.S. Geological Survey:
Fact Sheet FS 2004-3018, 6 pp. |
 |
Amphibians are important components of headwater
streams in forests of the Pacific Northwest.
As part of the CFER program, scientists Margo
Stoddard and John Hayes investigated the relationships
between headwater stream amphibians and habitat
characteristics measured at four spatial scales
(2-m sample unit, patch, sub-drainage, and
drainage).

Managed Forest Reserves: Preserving Diversity. U.S. Geological Survey: Fact Sheet FS-034-03, 4 pp. |
 |
Forest
ecologists have been asking if lessons can
be learned from the development of our current
old growth and applied to management of younger
stands. Dr. John Tappeiner and his university
and agency research partners are helping to
answer this question by examining the differences
in development between old-growth and young
stands in western Oregon.

Response of Birds to Thinning Young Douglas-fir
Forests. U.S. Geological Survey: Fact Sheet FS-033-03,
4 pp. |
 |
As
part of the CFER program, Dr. John Hayes and
colleagues evaluated the short-term response
of breeding birds to thinning in the northern
Oregon Coast Range. Results from this 7-year
experimental study have been summarized in
a new factsheet titled "Response of Birds
to Thinning Young Douglas-fir Forests."
