The rapid expansion of western juniper into neighboring plant communities during the past
130 years has caused considerable concern because of increased soil erosion, reduced …

Wildland fires (WLF) have become more frequent, larger, and severe with greater impacts to
society and ecosystems and dramatic increases in firefighting costs. Forests throughout the …

The primary objective of this study was to determine if gradually increasing levels of
atmospheric CO2, as opposed to 'step'increases commonly employed in controlled studies …

Abstract The western United States (US) is a hotspot for snow drought. The Oregon Cascade
Range is highly sensitive to warming and as a result has experienced the largest mountain …

We applied dendrochronology (tree‐ring) methods to develop multidecadal growth
chronologies from the increment widths of yelloweye rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) otoliths …

Drought variability of the Tibetan Plateau is an important component across the Asian
monsoon. Long-term information about the history of drought is, however, limited because …

Paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental reconstructions from increment-yielding archives
strongly depend on precise age models. Like bivalves, corals, trees, and speleothems, the …

Dendroecological methods play a critical role in developing our understanding of forest
processes by contributing historical evidence of climate variability and the temporal …

The occurrence of moderate and severe sustained droughts in the interior Pacific Northwest
(PNW) from 1733 to 1980 was mapped using 18 western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis var …

In parts of central Oregon, coarse-textured pumice substrates limit forest composition to low-
density lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Douglas ex Loudon var. latifolia Engelm. ex S …
