  • Quantifying the effects of vegetation productivity and drought scenarios on livestock production decisions and income

    Open AccessAaron N Wold, Arjan J H Meddens et al.ARTICLERangelands2023

  • Specifying geospatial data product characteristics for forest and fuel management applications

    Open AccessArjan J H Meddens, Michelle M Steen-Adams et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    One of the greatest challenges for land managers is to maintain a multitude of ecosystem services while reducing hazards posed by wildfires, insect outbreaks, and other disturbances accelerating due to climate change. In response to limited available resources and improved technical abilities, natural resource managers are increasingly using geospatial data to plan and evaluate their management actions. Large amounts of public resources are inves…

  • Integrating snow science and wildlife ecology in Arctic-boreal North America

    Open AccessNatalie T Boelman, Glen E Liston et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Snow covers Arctic and boreal regions (ABRs) for approximately 9 months of the year, thus snowscapes dominate the form and function of tundra and boreal ecosystems. In recent decades, Arctic warming has changed the snowcover's spatial extent and distribution, as well as its seasonal timing and duration, while also altering the physical characteristics of the snowpack. Understanding the little studied effects of changing snowscapes on its wildlife…

  • Tree mortality from fires, bark beetles, and timber harvest during a hot and dry decade in the western United States (2003–2012)

    Open AccessLogan T Berner, B E Law et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    High temperatures and severe drought contributed to extensive tree mortality from fires and bark beetles during the 2000s in parts of the western continental United States. Several states in this region have greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets and would benefit from information on the amount of carbon stored in tree biomass killed by disturbance. We quantified mean annual tree mortality from fires, bark beetles, and timber harvest from 2003–201…

  • Indicators of Climate Change in Idaho

    P Zion Klos, John T Abatzoglou et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2015

    Climate change is well documented at the global scale, but local and regional changes are not as well understood. Finer, local- to regional-scale information is needed for creating specific, place-based planning and adaption efforts. Here the development of an indicator-focused climate change assessment in Idaho is described. This interdisciplinary framework couples end users’ data needs with observed, biophysical changes at local to regional sca…

  • Carbon stocks of trees killed by bark beetles and wildfire in the western United States

    Open AccessJeffrey A Hicke, Arjan J H Meddens et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    Forests are major components of the carbon cycle, and disturbances are important influences of forest carbon. Our objective was to contribute to the understanding of forest carbon cycling by quantifying the amount of carbon in trees killed by two disturbance types, fires and bark beetles, in the western United States in recent decades. We combined existing spatial data sets of forest biomass, burn severity, and beetle-caused tree mortality to est…

  • Characterizing Forest Fragments in Boreal, Temperate, and Tropical Ecosystems

    Arjan J H Meddens, Andrew T Hudak et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2008Referências: 4

    An increased ability to analyze landscapes in a spatial manner through the use of remote sensing leads to improved capabilities for quantifying human-induced forest fragmentation. Developments of spatially explicit methods in landscape analyses are emerging. In this paper, the image delineation software program eCognition and the spatial pattern analysis program FRAGSTATS were used to quantify patterns of forest fragments on six landscapes across…
