We modeled the responses of species to factors that have been shown to influence habitat selection for forest breeding birds including soil, vegetation, food quality and availability, and land cover. We found that, within an urbanized landscape, local-scale...AuthorsW. Gregory Shriver, Zachary S. Ladin, Jeffrey Buler, Vince D'AmicoKeywordsSourceUrban EcosystemsYear2021
- Decades of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition in the northeastern USA have enhanced this globally important forest carbon (C) sink by relieving N limitation. While many N fertilization experiments found increased forest C storage, the mechanisms driving this response at the ecosystem scale remain uncertain. Following the optimal allocation theory, augmented N availability may reduce belowground C investment by trees to roots and soil symbionts. To test this prediction and its implications on soil biogeochemistry, we constructed C and N budgets for a long-term, whole-watershed N fertilizati...AuthorsBrooke A.

- Post-stratification is often used to increase the precision of estimates arising from large-area forest inventories with plots established at permanent locations. Remotely sensed data and associated spatial products are often used for developing the post-stratification, which offers a mechanism to increase precision for less cost than increasing the sample size. While important variance reductions have been shown from post-stratification, it remains unknown where observed gains lie along the continuum of possible gains. This information is needed to determine whether efforts to further...AuthorsJim Westfall, Andrew J. Lister, John W. Coulston, Ronald E. McRobertsSourceCanadian Journal of Forest ResearchYear2021
- Urban forested natural areas are an important component of the forest and tree canopy in northeastern United States urban areas. Although similar to native forests in surrounding regions in structure, composition, and function, these natural areas are threatened by multiple, co-occurring biological and climate stressors that are exacerbated by the urban environment. Furthermore, forests in cities often lack application of formal silvicultural approaches reliant upon evidence-based applied ecological sciences. These include both urban- and climate-adapted silvicultural techniques to...AuthorsMax R. R. Piana, Richard Hallett, Michelle Johnson, Nancy Falxa Sonti, Leslie Brandt, Myla F. J.
