  • Do working forest easements work for conservation

    Open AccessJonathan R Thompson, Alexey Kalinin et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Conservation easements are voluntary legal agreements designed to constrain land-use activities on private land to achieve conservation goals. Extensive public and private funding has been used to establish ‘working forest’ conservation easements (WFCE) that aim to protect conservation values while maintaining commercial timber production. We use variation in the timing and location of easements to estimate the impacts of WFCEs in Maine from a 33…

  • Environmental justice criteria for new land protection can inform efforts to address disparities in access to nearby open space

    Open AccessKatharine R E Sims, Lucy G Lee et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Substantial funding is being allocated to new land protection and access to protected open space for marginalized communities is a crucial concern. Using New England as a study area, we show striking disparities in the distribution of protected open space across multiple dimensions of social marginalization. Using a quartile-based approach within states, we find that communities in the lowest income quartile have just 52% as much nearby protected…

  • Using the Theory of Planned Behavior to Understand Family Forest Owners’ Intended Responses to Invasive Forest Insects

    Jonathan R Holt, Brett J Butler et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2021Cited by: 5References: 4

    Private landowner participation in management initiatives can be encouraged by interventions, which must resonate with the underlying subjective motivations of the landowners. In this study, we use the Theory of Planned Behavior to gauge the relative influences of (1) attitudes; (2) subjective norms; and (3) perceived behavioral control on landowner intentions to harvest trees threatened by invasive insects. We use a survey (n = 696) to estimate …

  • Landowner functional types to characterize response to invasive forest insects

    Open AccessJonathan R Holt, Mark E Borsuk et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2020

    Invasive forest insects can induce tree mortality in two ways: (a) by directly harming trees; or (b) by influencing forest owners to pre‐emptively harvest threatened trees. This study investigates forest owners’ intentions to harvest trees threatened by invasive insects. Our first objective is to identify and characterize agent functional types (AFTs) of family forest owners in the northeastern United States using a set of contingent behaviour qu…

  • Urbanization and fragmentation mediate temperate forest carbon cycle response to climate

    Open AccessAndrew B Reinmann, Ian A Smith et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Forest fragmentation is ubiquitous across urban and rural areas. While there is mounting evidence that forest fragmentation alters the terrestrial carbon cycle, the extent to which differences in ambient growing conditions between urban and rural landscapes mediate forest response to fragmentation and climate remains unexamined. This study integrates field measurements of forest structure, growth, and soil respiration with climate data and high-r…

  • No Significant Increase in Tree Mortality Following Coring in a Temperate Hardwood Forest

    Ryan Helcoski, Alan J Tepley et al.ARTICLETree-Ring Research2019

    The collection of tree-ring data from living trees is widespread and highly valuable in ecological and dendro-climatological research, yet there is concern that coring injures trees, potentially contributing to mortality. Unlike resinous conifers that can quickly compartmentalize wounds, less decay-resistant angiosperms may face more pronounced risk of injury from coring. To test if coring increases mortality rates in temperate hardwood trees, we…

  • Engaging Regional Stakeholders in Scenario Planning for the Long-Term Preservation of Ecosystem Services in Northwestern Virginia

    Iara Lacher, Thomas S Akre et al.ARTICLECase Studies in the Environment2019

    This case study describes the application of a framework for developing stakeholder-driven scenarios of the future. The purpose of these scenarios is to inform land use planning toward the protection of ecosystems and derivable ecosystem services in Northwestern Virginia. We held two scenario development workshops with regional experts in conservation, agriculture, land use planning, policy, and economic development to create scenarios of land us…
