Human Influence

This research theme provides land managers information to help them make restoration decision at local and landscape scales.

This research theme informs adaptive management and siting decsions in relation to bats at wind and solar power-generation facilities.

Conifer forests in the Pacific Northwest are biologically and economically important, are intensively managed for multiple uses, and represent a large area in public domain. Therefore, understanding how management of conifer forests affects biodiversity across a range of spatial and temporal scales is critical for land management agencies.

Aquatic invasive species, like bullfrogs, stocked fish, crayfish, and reed canarygrass can affect aquatic systems in a variety of ways and have been linked to declines in some amphibians.

This research theme addresses several issues important in deriving accurate and precise estimates of fatality at wind and solar power-generation facilities.
