DMS Report
The primary goal of the DMS is to demonstrate and test options for young stand management to meet Northwest Forest Plan objectives in western Oregon. This report describes the study’s history, objectives, design, and next steps. In addition, there are summaries of collaborative studies being conducted on DMS study sites.

Variability in Older Forest Structure in Western Oregon
Poage, N.J., 2005. Variability in Older Forest Structure in Western Oregon: USGS Open-file Report 2005-1385, 2005, p. 28.

Poage Report
A report to assist Federal land managers in developing realistic structural targets for young forests for which the development of late-successional and old-growth (LSOG) characteristics is a long-term management objective. A unique LSOG structural database was created using complete inventories of all conifer trees greater than 1 ft diameter from 586 recently harvested older forests on 5 BLM districts in western Oregon. The spatial variability of trees and snags at 14 LSOG sites was characterized using structural data collected along one or more long belt transects at each site.


Managing for Biodiversity in Young Douglas-fir Forests
Muir, P.S., R.L. Mattingly, J.C. Tappeiner II, J.D. Bailey, W.E. Elliott, J.C. Hagar, J.C. Miller, E.B. Peterson, and E.E. Starkey. 2002. Managing for biodiversity in young Douglas-fir forests of western Oregon. U.S. Geological Survey, Biological Resources Division, Biological Science Report USGS/BRD/BSR-2002-006. 76 pp.

Young Stand Report
In this report, scientists contrast the responses of plants and animals in three types of forest stands in western Oregon: young thinned stands; young unthinned stands; and old-growth stands. The report was published with support from the CFER program and the USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center (FRESC).

Moth Field Guide
Miller, J.C. and P.C. Hammond. 2000. Macromoths of Northwest Forests and Woodlands. Forest Health Technology Enterprise Team. Morgantown, West Virginia. 130 p.

Moth Field Guide
The guide includes descriptions and accompanying photographs of 251 species of moths. Also included is a discussion of over 300 additional moth species.
