Abstract Large-scale, high-severity wildfires are a major challenge to the future social-ecological sustainability of fire-adapted forest ecosystems in American West. Managing forests mitigate this risk is collective action problem requiring landowners and stakeholders within multi-ownership landscapes plan implement coordinated restoration treatments. Our research question is: how can we promote reduce wildfire restore fire-resilient West? To address draw on theory produce an environmental...
The extraction and upgrading of bitumen have been identified as sources enhanced atmospheric deposition pollutant elements to ecosystems in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) northern Alberta, Canada. Bitumen became increasingly efficient, oil prices surged 1990s, resulting rapid expansion increased production over last two decades. Here, we examine temporal spatial trends wintertime 1978, 1981, 2008, 2011–2016 at broad scales using snowpack measurements. A hybrid source analysis was...
Since 2009, the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service has promoted an "all lands approach" to forest restoration, particularly relevant in context managing wildfire. To characterize its implementation, we undertook inventory what refer as fire-focused all management (ALM) projects, defined projects which fuels reduction treatments are planned or implemented across more than one landownership reduce wildfire risk increase resilience We focused on regions Washington, Oregon, and...
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a relatively common, burdensome condition of the autonomic nervous system characterized by intolerance. This paper presents subset findings from qualitative study investigating lived experience and perspectives adults with POTS. Twenty-nine individuals participated in series focus groups. We present conceptual model which summarizes themes related to illness-related experiences, emotional reactions, coping strategies, distinguishes how...
To measure the proportion of women with transvaginal prolapse mesh complications and their association surgeon volume.We conducted a retrospective, population-based cohort study all who underwent mesh-based procedure using administrative data (hospital physician billing records) between 2002 2013 in Ontario, Canada. The primary outcome was surgical revision mesh. Primary exposure volume: high (greater than 75th percentile, requiring median five [interquartile range 5-6] procedures per year)...

Field 96 – 112 Corvallis OR : Oregon State University Press [Google Scholar] study examining relationship between forests communities, paradigms have shifted from (1) utilitarian views that stressed stability sustained yield harvests, to (2) ecosystem management resilience, to, we posit, (3) new paradigm health....
Improved Forest Management (IFM) projects under the California cap-and-trade market allow production of new, non-traditional commodities: forest carbon offsets. Earlier analyses have considered offsets generated through tree planting in Global South, as vehicles for sustainable development. However, IFM program is testing offset new geographic and management contexts: with produced consumed within US on working (timber producing) forests. With data drawn from project design documents...
Policies impacting forest management on privately-owned lands demonstrate remarkable variety across the United States, with each state emphasizing different approaches to balancing private property rights protection of public trust resources. Though are historically paramount in US, previous researchers have identified a policy lands, from regulatory non-regulatory. We expand these categories through discourse analysis state-produced documents (including legislation, rules, and best...
Large and severe wildfires, exacerbated by climate change human behavior, are occurring more frequently in many forests across the western United States. While wildfire is a natural part of most terrestrial ecosystems, rapidly changing fire regimes have potential to alter habitat beyond adaptive capabilities species. Spatial assessments risks species may allow managers pinpoint locations for management activities. To illustrate this, we spatially assessed risk within that supports nesting...
In the U.S., combination of federal, state, and local forest rules programs create policy environment in which private landowners manage their land, turn impacts quality conservation ecosystem services produced. While previous studies provide overviews policies impacting at moments time, they lack depth perspective needed to describe political context policies, including mechanisms underlying this diversity: how why particular policies. This study fills that gap by utilizing interviews with...
