1 Assessing Present-Day Forest Landscapes in the Context of Historical Disturbance Regimes Michael C. Wimberly Warnell School of Forest Resources University of Georgia Athens, GA
2 Human Impacts on Coast Range Landscapes Timber harvesting Loss of old growth Forest fragmentation Intensive forest management
3 Possible Ecological Consequences Edge effects Threatened and endangered species Spotted Owl Marbled Murrelet Pacific Salmon Carbon storage Impacts on aquatic systems
4 Historical Wildfires Tillamook Burn
5 Historical Range of Variability Native species persisted in dynamic landscapes HRV may serve as an indicator of sustainability History as working model for coarsefilter conservation strategies HRV???
6 Key Questions What was the range of variability in forest vegetation prior to Euro-American settlement (1850)? Amounts of major forest types Spatial pattern of forest mosaic Is the current landscape within the historical range of variability?
7
8 Fire Size Distributions Source: Historical forest vegetation maps (Peter Teensma) Fires larger in coastal zone than valley margin zone Modeled as a lognormal random variable Cumulative Probability Coastal Zone Valley Margin Zone Fire Size (ha)
9 Fire Severity Source: Dendroecological Field Study (Peter Impara) Fires were mosaics of high- and moderate-severity disturbance % high severity modeled as uniform random variables % High Severity < > 500 Fire Size (km 2 )
10 Fire Frequency Source: Dendroecological (Peter Impara) and paleoecological (Colin Long) studies. Estimates of Natural Fire Rotation Coastal Zone 200 years Valley Margin Zone 100 years Converted to # of fires/decade Modeled as Poisson random variable P Fires/Decade Coastal Valley Margin
11 Fire Shape Calibration FEXT = 0.5 FLEN = 1 WIND = 1 FEXT = 0.85 FLEN = 1 WIND = 1 FEXT = 0.92 FLEN = 1 WIND = 1
12 Successional Pathways Fire Severity 20 Yrs 80 Yrs 200 Yrs High Regeneration Young Mature Old Growth Moderate 20 Yrs 80 Yrs Regeneration (Semi-Open) Young (Multistory)
13 Pre-Settlement vs. Current Landscape Patterns Simulated Pre-Settlement Landscapes Current Landscape
14 Variability at Three Spatial Scales % Old Growth a) Province Scale (2,250,000 ha) b) National Forest Scale (302,500 ha) c) Reserve Scale (40,000 ha) Years Before Present
15 Historical Range of Variability % of Landscape a) Regeneration b) Young Old growth was the dominant patch type in historical landscapes Area of young patches has increased Area of mature and old-growth patches has decreased Probability c) Mature d) Old Growth % of Landscape
16 Historical Range of Variability Largest Patch a) Regeneration b) Young Largest patches in the historical landscape were old growth The largest old-growth patch in the current landscape is smaller than occurred historically Young forests form the matrix of the present landscape Probability c) Mature d) Old Growth Largest Patch (km 2 )
17 Historical Range of Variability Isolation Index Computed as mean distance from each patch type In historical landscapes, old growth was the least isolated Isolation of regeneration, young, and mature patches is reduced in the present landscape Old growth isolation has increased Probability a) Regeneration c) Mature b) Young d) Old Growth Isolation Index (km)
18 Key Findings Historical Landscapes Old growth was the dominant patch type in pre-settlement landscapes The largest area of old growth was in patches > 100,000 ha However, most mature and old growth patches were < 100 ha Most of the landscape was < 1 km from the nearest old growth patch
19 Key Findings Current Landscape Current landscape is outside HRV Less old growth than expected under the historical disturbance regime No large old growth patches Increased distance to nearest old growth patch
20 Possible Ecological Implications Species associated with LS/OG habitats Area-sensitive species Refugia for disturbance-sensitive species Linkages between disturbance regime and watershed processes
