▼ Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is a remote sensing technology that quantifies the travel time of photons emitted in pulses from a LiDAR instrument to travel to and reflect back from objects. Knowing the travel time for the photons and accounting for the speed of light, distances to objects from the instrument can be quantified. When LiDAR is acquired over forested areas some of the pulses will find canopy openings and "penetrate" to the ground with others striking the canopy at various heights above the ground, generating an XYZ point-cloud of eastings, northings, and elevations. Capitalizing on the information in these point-clouds from a June, 2003, acquisition in forested areas of Maine, we characterized the vertical profile of the canopy from which we computed LiDAR-derived explanatory variables for empirical modeling of various response variables (i.e., forest stand metrics, bird species abundance). The first aim of the research reported in this study was to assess the ability of LiDAR-derived explanatory variables to predict forest stand structure than can then be used as input in a suite of habitat-models that predict New England wildlife occurrences (called ECOSEARCH). Using regression analyses and field-collected data, we determined that LiDAR does a good job of predicting various forest stand metrics for the over- and understory (Adj. R² >0.60 for 14 of 20 models developed). The second aim was to assess the ability of LiDAR-derived explanatory variables to directly predict mean bird abundance within forested areas during their breeding season. We derived a set of minimally correlated LiDAR-derived explanatory variables and used these in regression analyses to predict mean bird abundance from field surveys. Results indicate that LiDAR-derived explanatory variables were useful for predicting the mean abundance of 17 bird species (all with Adj. R² > 0.2, with 5 models having Adj. R² > 0.4). The third aim was to utilize the LiDAR-derived habitat-models and apply these across two study sites under varying management scenarios for assessments and planning purposes. Using a simple Euclidean distance metric and under various but realistic assumptions we were able to ascertain optimal management scenarios for five focal bird species.

▼ Ecosystem restoration efforts that emulate natural disturbance processes and the legacies provided by these disturbances are thought to be the most successful, but without a clear understanding of how ecosystems regenerate after these disturbances we do not have a good framework to design effective restoration practices or the information to evaluate the success of these restoration efforts. In order to obtain more holistic views of ecological restoration there needs to be an integration of plant and animal metrics utilized to evaluate success of practices. I advocate that spiders are a good choice of indicator organism to bridge this gap. My research focused specifically on the spider community response to a variety of disturbances, ranging from natural – stand replacing fires in jack pine stands of northern Lower Michigan and catastrophic wind disturbance in mixed-hardwood forests of northeastern Ohio, to human based – prescribed burning of grasslands in central Ohio.Specifically, my research questions are: 1.What is the spider community responses and/or succession in response to disturbances? 2. What do changes in spider community composition and structure reveal about habitat structure and changes in post-disturbance ecosystem development? 3. Do those spiders that are disturbance specialists share similar life traits that we can use to classify all spiders on a spectrum from disturbance specialist to disturbance avoiders?I found that there are succession responses of the spider community, and that the vegetation structure and succession stage are primary drivers of those changes. These differences affected the diversity, abundance, and overall spider community composition. Additionally, I found that many species/families/guilds of spiders are indicator species of habitat successional stages.By studying the changes in spider communities (including community composition, diversity and abundance) we can gain insights into the development of ecosystems impacted by disturbances, as well as insights into many aspects of the habitat structure and quality. This information, in turn, can be applied to active ecosystem to provide more holistic evaluations. Advisors/Committee Members: Goebel, P. Charles (Advisor).

▼ Passive solar design is a method of capturing heat energy from the sun in winter and excluding it during summer. It has the potential to yield considerable energy savings at very low cost if included in the design stage of homebuilding. However, it is not being adopted. This study examined the failure of adoption of passive solar homes in Franklin County, Ohio from both supply- and demand- sides in four phases.The fist phase consisted of qualitative interviews with alternative energy advocates, building professionals, policy administrators in states with more favorable policies for passive solar, and Energy Efficient Mortgage raters and lenders. The interviews from different perspectives on the supply-side of the issue, combined with theory from different bodies of literature, provided a comprehensive picture of possible barriers to passive solar homes. Builders do not build passive solar homes because there are regulatory and procedural obstacles, they have little understanding of passive solar building, and since there is no demand, the status quo is working for them. Homebuyers may not demand passive solar homes because they are not satisfied with their design, there are few economic incentives, they are unavailable to purchase, or they have little awareness or understanding of them.The second phase consisted of interviews of passive solar homeowners to get a demand-side perspective from those who own them. These homeowners were generally very satisfied with their homes and did not reveal compelling reasons for the lack of adoption of passive solar homes.The supply- and demand-side interviews suggested the factors to be researched in the third phase. These factors (design, economic incentive, availability, and awareness) were the basis of a survey of new homebuyers in Franklin County. Results suggested design and economic incentives are not important factors, but unavailability and lack of awareness are very important. When homebuyers learn what passive solar is, they are very interested and more than half report they would pay at least five percent more for a passive solar home.The fourth phase consisted of an informational presentation on passive solar homes and other energy saving measures including cost/benefit analysis with pre- and post-tests administered. Comparison of pre- and post-tests indicated that information about passive solar homes increases interest and willingness-to-pay. However, information alone does not cause consumers to make purely rational decisions. Consumers seem to choose those energy-saving measures that have been strongly marketed over low-cost “orphaned innovations” that can save as much or more at lower cost, but do not provide large profits for marketers.

▼ The following dissertation is composed of three stand-alone manuscripts. However all contribute to a working set of knowledge and techniques pertaining to the ecology and management of grizzly (Ursus arctos) and black (U. americanus) bears. In Chapter I, I studied the interaction of grizzly and black bear abundance with declining numbers of cutthroat trout along spawning stream reaches. We estimated numbers of grizzly bears and black bears visiting streams by 1) capturing hair from collection sites along 35 historically fished streams and 2) modeling individual DNA encounter histories. When compared to 1997-2000 levels, the number of spawning cutthroat trout per stream and the number of streams with cutthroat trout had decreased. We estimated that 48 (95% CI = 42-56) male and 23 (95% CI = 21-27) female grizzly bears visited the historically fished tributary streams during the 3-yr study. In any one year, 46 to 59 independent individuals (8-10% of estimated Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem [GYE] population) visited these streams. When compared with estimates from the 1997-2000 study and adjusted for equal effort, the number of grizzly bears using the stream corridors had decreased by 63%.In the second Chapter, I investigated the genetic consequences of management actions and genetic introgression on black bears. Due to changing management philosophies and policies in Yellowstone National Park (YNP), large numbers of black bears were removed (13 to 30% of population per annum) from the core of the ecosystem between 1930 and 1970. Using ancient DNA (aDNA) extraction techniques on historic specimens, we investigated whether these removals influenced genetic diversity of black bears within the GYE. While Ne values were found to be historically low (Ne point estimates of 19-87) since the early years of the Park, we observed only slight decreases in all diversity measures before and after the large-scale removal of black bears, likely due to gene flow from outside demes. However, the strength of genetic drift following removals may have been much more substantial without this outside introgression.Chapter III introduces a novel combination of anesthetics shown to be quite effective in immobilizing captive and wild grizzly bears. Fast induction of anesthesia, maintenance of healthy vital rates, and predictable recoveries are essential when immobilizing bears for research and management. We investigated these attributes in both captive and wild grizzly bears anesthetized with a combination of a reversible α2¬ agonist (dexmedetomidine) and a nonreversible glutamate agonist and tranquilizer (tiletamine and zolazepam, respectively). A smaller than expected dose of the combination (1.23 mg tiletamine, 1.23 mg zolazepam, and 6.04 µg dexmedetomidine per kg bear) produced reliable, fast ataxia (3.7 ± 0.5 min, ± SE) and workable anesthesia (8.1 ± 0.6 min) in captive adult grizzly bears. Contrary to previously published accounts of bear anesthesia with medetomidine, this combination produced less significant hypertension, hypoxemia,…

▼ Decades, even centuries, of resource extraction and exploitation by humans have taken a toll on the Bay of Fundy/Gulf of Maine ecosystems. The very real threats posed by population growth and coastal development, climate change, habitat loss, overharvesting, chemical pollution, nutrient overloading, and invasive species invasions show no sign of abating. Traditional methods of managing the human activities that impact the Bay of Fundy/Gulf of Maine are proving unable to keep pace with the growing threats. The Gulf of Maine Council and others have joined in the chorus calling for a broader, more holistic ecosystem approach to the governance of the human activities that impact the coastal margin. This study uses the framework of the Policy Sciences to suggest a model of Problem Orientation, Social Process, and Decision Process characteristics indicative of an ideal ecosystem-based approach to governance. The model is first used to analyze the governance regime that existed in the Great Lakes Basin during the first two decades under the International Joint Commission's oversight of activities under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. The framework model is then used to analyze the current governance regime in the Gulf of Maine/Bay of Fundy region. Using this analysis, the study concludes that an ecosystem-based approach to governance is not possible in the region as currently configured. The study further concludes that it will not be possible to transition to an ecosystem-based approach without the education and significant outreach necessary to create a knowledgeable and activist public able to understand the issues and threats and willing to press governance for improvement. Further, ecosystem-based governance will require the creation of an overarching and accountable entity that, with significant input from public and stakeholder partnerships can collect reliable ecosystem indicator data from both sides of the border, analyze the data, and direct the implementation of policy solutions, and change course as necessary.

▼ Over the last three decades, collaboration has come to the fore as a way to address natural resource management problems that are often complex and contentious. As such, a new way of doing business has emerged for the United State Forest Service (USFS) as it engages community members in collaborative governance arrangements created to address forest management issues. USFS field-level personnel and the community stakeholders involved in collaborative governance arrangements expend valuable and limited resources to obtain collaborative outcomes. Field observations suggest that in order for collaborative outcomes to be durable and maintain longevity, changes must occur at the organizational level. However, few existing studies that document organizational changes made by natural resource land management agencies as a result of the agency’s engagement in collaborative governance arrangements with community stakeholders. This dissertation provides theoretical and practical insights into the organizational changes occurring at three USFS field offices. This exploratory, qualitative study employs a case study approach and semi-structured interviews were conducted with agency personnel and non-agency stakeholders. Document analysis of meeting minutes and personal observation data were also conducted. The data yielded the richest results when interpreted through three overarching theoretical lenses: organizational change, public administration, and collaborative governance. The results revealed that organizational changes are occurring at the field-level as a result of the actions of individual actors as they cross organizational boundaries. The outcomes of these changes can be beneficial to the agency, but a cautionary tale is presented suggesting that collaborative processes may impede, if not derailed, by power imbalances. The role of trust, or more accurately, the lack thereof, and its ability to change organizational boundaries and create power imbalances in the shared decision-making arena emerged as finding of importance to land managers and collaborative governance theory. This dissertation advances the scholarly and practical knowledge of organizational change by presenting empirical evidence of the impact of community collaboration on federal natural resource agencies. It is necessary for the leadership of the USFS to understand their role in the collaborative process and to understand how and why these changes are taking place if they are to be sensitive to the added pressures and tensions that collaboration brings to their individual staff members. Managers in the USFS will need to be cognizant of the attributes of trust and should encourage their staff to build trust with stakeholders if they wish to maintain equitable power positions in the shared decision-making process. Future research that provides evidence of the linkage between organizational change, trust, and power would be useful in further understanding how the collaborative process and the collaborative behavior of…

▼ The Wildland Urban Interface (WUI), a human-designated area between undeveloped wildlands and urban areas, has been identified using many different kinds of data. The most common data used have been census housing densities to determine urban areas and a vegetation layer from the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) to identify wildlands (Theobald and Romme 2007, Radeloff et al. 2005, Stewart et al. 2003, and Haight et al. 2004). Knowing the location and area of a WUI is important for federal land agencies because federal legislation (Federal Register Notice 2001, 66-3) has provided parameters to identify WUIs and has directed agencies to mitigate the possibility of a catastrophic wildland fire that may reach urban areas. Many studies have looked at WUIs on large scales (e.g. the entire U.S., or part of a state) but have only used one datum input to determine urban areas and one to delineate wildland areas. The objective of this study was to (1) look at whether publicly available geospatial data could be used to determine WUIs for small tracts of land and (2) compare WUI areas resulting from the combination of different urban and vegetation datasets. Four national parks were studied: Badlands National Park, Wind Cave National Park, Pea Ridge National Military Park, and Wilson's Creek National Battlefield. Urban areas were identified using 2010 U.S. Census Block housing densities or from points identifying individual structures accessed from State web sites. The vegetation layers used were the NLCD, LANDFIRE, and a USGS Vegetation Characterization. In addition, a protocol, "Procedures for Delineating the Wildland Urban Interface at Your Site," was developed using ArcMap 10. Results showed that either census housing densities or GPS points identifying structures, along with any vegetation classification can be used to determine WUIs for small tracts of land. WUIs varied in size depending on the combination of datasets used but the only factor that appeared to result in larger WUIs was using a detailed vegetation dataset.

▼ In the remote region of Samburu East District in north-central Kenya, community-based conservation (CBC) may arguably provide the best way forward for realizing conservation goals. Education is often identified as an integral part in realizing CBC goals in rural African contexts. Moreover, CBC efforts on the African continent have revealed mixed results regarding success, and there no agreed upon method for evaluating the effectiveness of community-based research on specific conservation education issues, particularly with those disempowered human populations living in and adjacent to conservation areas. Photovoice, a community-based participatory action research (CBPAR) strategy, is evaluated as an effective tool for realizing community-based research goals by its ability to address three core criteria: community-centered control, knowledge production and outcomeoriented results. The Samburu photovoice project employed park rangers and scouts, local teachers and community members in this creative CBPAR strategy to identify local conservation education concerns, and propose opportunities for community involvement in addressing these concerns. Over the course of 8 months, during one of the most severe droughts in recent memory, members of the Samburu community photographed their landscape and collectively addressed the current state of conservation knowledge. Through photo and narrative analysis and participant observation, the Samburu photovoice project is evaluated as effectively supported by the local community; has proven to produce conservation knowledge and allow for disempowered members of the community to have a voice on current issues that affect them; and has ultimately empowered some Samburu community members to act on their newly acquired knowledge. Implications for use as a methodology in Kenya and in other conservation education contexts are discussed. Additionally, narrative inquiry and holistic-content analysis strategies were used to uncover the culturally appropriate learning environment that may best allow for effective conservation education in the Samburu communities. Five of the original 26 photovoice participants were involved in semi-structured interviews to explore this learning phenomenon. The approach provided a rich description of three major themes regarding effective and culturally appropriate learning environments for conservation instruction in Samburu. This includes: exposure to new landscapes coupled with guided discussion, place-based and project-oriented instruction, and cultural drivers. Implications for the development of future conservation instruction in Samburu are given.

▼ Rain-on-snow (ROS) occurs when warm, wet air moves into latitudes and/or elevations having vulnerable snowpacks, where it can alter water inputs to infiltration, runoff and erosion. The Pacific Northwest is particularly susceptible: winter storms off the Pacific cause locally heavy rain plus snowmelt almost annually, and disastrous flooding and landsliding intermittently. In maritime mountainous terrain, the effects seem more likely and hydrologically important where warm rains and seasonal snowpacks are liable to coincide, in middle elevations. Several questions arise: (1) In the PNW, does ROS affect the long-term frequency and magnitude of water delivery to the ground, versus total precipitation (liquid and solid), during big storms? Where and how much? (2) If so, can we determine which elevations experience maximum hydrologic effects, the peak ROS zone? Probabilistic characteristics of ROS are difficult to establish because of geographic variability and sporadic occurrence: scattered stations and short observational records make quantitative frequency analysis difficult. These problems dictate a modeling approach, combining semi-random selection of storm properties with physical rules governing snow and water behavior during events. I created a simple computer program to perform Monte Carlo simulation of large storms over 1000 "years", generating realizations of snowpack and storm-weather conditions; in each event precipitation falls, snow accumulates and/or melts, and water moves to the ground. Frequency distributions are based on data from the Washington Cascades, and the model can be applied to specific sites or generalized elevations. Many of the data sets were based on observations at Stampede Pass, where high-quality measurements of weather and snow at the Cascade crest have been made since the 1940s. These data were used to inform the model, and to test its reliability with respect to the governing data distributions. In addition, data from ROS events at Stampede, and at research sites in southwest Oregon, were used to confirm that the model's deterministic calculations of snow accumulation, snowmelt, and percolation (yielding water available for runoff) adequately simulate conditions observed in the field. The Monte Carlo model was run for elevations ranging from 200 to 1500 m, each over a hypothetical millennium. Results indicate that the presence of snow in some storms reduces the amount of water reaching the ground. This occurred more often in highlands but also at middle and lower elevations, affecting the long-term frequency-magnitude relations across the landscape. In these conditions, the rain-gauges overestimate the amount of liquid water actually reaching the ground. For many storms, however, ROS enhances water reaching the ground, most significantly at elevations between ∼500–1100 m. At lower and higher elevations, the water available for runoff exceeds precipitation in ∼2% of events, but this proportion rises to ∼20-30% at…

▼ Within La Sepultura Biosphere Reserve in Chiapas, Mexico, human communities depend upon tropical pine-oak forests for survival. Management of this federally protected natural area is cooperative between government officials and local farmers and ranchers (producers). Producers conduct subsistence milpa agriculture and, by regulation of the reserve, have limited access to timber resources. I used a participatory, interdisciplinary approach to study community-based fire management in two communities within the reserve: Corazón del Valle and Valle de Corzo. Members of these two communities apply extensive traditional ecological knowledge in fire management. Focus groups and interviews revealed that producers integrate 40 environmental and social factors in their traditional burning practices. Frequent, low-intensity controlled burning with hand tools is customary to reduce fuels and to care for the forest. A shared concern of government managers and producers is reproduction of the dominant tree species, Pinus oocarpa. Producers had the opinion that trees grown from seed produce superior timber compared to trees grown from resprouting stems. Analysis of size class distributions of trees, seedlings and resprouts in 37 controlled burn plots confirmed that the density of seedlings is lower than would be expected under a typical reverse-J distribution. Seedling densities in two subjectively located wildfire sites were higher (mean = 3423 ± 2163 seedlings/ha). Despite very low-intensity fire behavior generated by producers in traditional controlled burning, seedling top-kill was high (82 percent). Because altering burning techniques would be unlikely to calm fire behavior any further, I tested two simple fuel removal treatments to try to reduce seedling top-kill. Removing fuels from a one meter radius around seedlings with a rake or machete reduced seedling top-kill to 52 percent. Removing fuels and covering seedlings with freshly cut green leaves reduced top-kill by 100 percent. Only by examining the social, ecological and physical aspects of traditional fire management was I able to arrive at practical methods for addressing the shared concern of post-fire pine seedling survival. Continued collaboration by reserve managers, community members and researchers can further refine management of tropical pine-oak ecosystems within the context of protected natural areas in Mesoamerica.

▼ Over the past century in the western United States, warming has produced larger and more severe wildfires than previously recorded. General circulation models and their ensembles project continued increases in temperature and the proportion of precipitation falling as rain. Warmer and wetter conditions may change forest successional trajectories by modifying rates of vegetation establishment, competition, growth, reproduction, and mortality. Many questions remain regarding how these changes will occur across landscapes and how disturbances, such as wildfire, may interact with changes to climate and vegetation. Forest management is used to proactively modify forest structure and composition to improve fire resilience. Yet, research is needed to assess how to best utilize mechanical fuel reduction and prescribed fire at the landscape scale. Human communities also exist within these landscapes, and decisions regarding how to manage forests must carefully consider how management will affect such communities. In this work, I analyzed three aspects of forest management at large spatiotemporal scales: (1) climate effects on forest composition and wildfire activity; (2) efficacy of fuel management strategies toward reducing wildfire spread and severity; and, (3) local resident perspectives on forest management. Using a forest landscape model, simulations of forest dynamics were used to investigate relationships among climate, wildfire, and topography with long-term changes in biomass for a fire-prone dry-conifer landscape in eastern Oregon, United States. I compared the effectiveness of fuel treatment strategies for reducing wildfire under both contemporary and extreme weather. Fuel treatment scenarios included “business as usual” and strategies that increased the area treated with harvest and prescribed fire, and all strategies were compared by distributing them across the landscape and by concentrating them in areas at the greatest risk for high-severity wildfire. To investigate local community preferences for forest management, I used focus groups, interviews, and questionnaires. Through open-ended questions and a public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS) mapping exercise, local residents expressed their views on fuels reduction treatments by commercial and non-commercial harvest and prescribed fire. Emergent themes were used to inform alternative management scenarios to explore the usefulness of using PPGIS to generate modeling inputs. Scenarios ranged from restoration-only treatments to short-rotation commercial harvest. Under climate change, wildfire was more frequent, more expansive, and more severe, and ponderosa pine expanded its range into existing shrublands and high-elevation zones. There was a near-complete loss of native high-elevation tree species, such as Engelmann spruce and whitebark pine. Loss of these species were most strongly linked to burn frequency; this effect was greatest at high elevations and on steep slopes. Fuel reduction was…

▼ This dissertation tests two methods to obtain information of the distribution and movement of cetaceans. The first method uses vessels of opportunity as platforms to conduct acoustic surveys between the main Hawaiian Islands, with the ultimate goal of providing a method that can be used in future studies to contribute to mapping distribution and habitat modeling of data-poor cetacean species in the areas of the ocean which are infrequently surveyed. The distribution of a well-studied species, the humpback whale Megaptera novaeangliae was mapped and analyzed in relation to remotely sensed data on ocean depth, sea surface temperature, sea surface height, wind speed, chlorophyll-A, and surface currents. The results agreed with previous research on humpback whales, indicating that acoustic surveys from vessels of opportunity are a viable method for collecting distribution data on cetaceans. The predicted species of odontocete whistles collected during vessel of opportunity surveys was determined using the Real-time Odontocete Call Classification Algorithm, and analyzed in respect to remotely sensed data. The sighting rate for odontocete surveys in this study is comparable to that of previous survey methods, and cryptic species are identified at a higher relative rate than when using visual sighting methods. The biases inherent in concentrating survey effort primarily in the calm waters on the leeward sides the Hawaiian Islands are discussed, as well as the drawbacks of relying on visual sighting methods for detecting species with low visual detection probability. In addition, the potential impacts of anthropogenic noise and ship strikes from commercial vessels are discussed during the case study of a high-speed craft. This dissertation also discusses a second methodology involving the use of DIFAR sonobuoys to track multiple singing humpback whales, with the end goal of learning more about the function about humpback song. This method is also applicable to other cetacean species.

▼ Wildfire and subsequent timber salvage harvests are forecasted to increase in the Alaska boreal forest, creating the need to evaluate the effectiveness of forest regeneration practices in light of these interacting disturbances. Silvicultural practices such as site preparation and assisted regeneration are carried out shortly after disturbance in order to ensure satisfactory reforestation. Thirty years after a stand-replacing wildfire and salvage, we sampled an operational-scale (26.7 ha) white spruce (Picea glauca Moench [Voss]) regeneration trial established in a productive upland forest. Regeneration treatments were applied in a split-split plot experimental design on two landform types (LF), four ground scarification treatments (GST) plus a non-scarified control, and five artificial white spruce regeneration treatments (WSRT) plus a natural seedfall control. We analyzed total biomass as well as stand density and basal area for all species, seeking to evaluate the persistence of regeneration silvicultural treatment effects 28 growing seasons after installation. Our results indicate GST had no significant effect on white spruce basal area or stem density. However, compared to natural seedfall control plots, white spruce basal area was six times higher in planted seedling plots, and white spruce stem density (dbh ≥ 1.0 cm) was nearly three times greater in broadcast seeding plots. White spruce stem density from natural seedfall averaged 944 stems ha^-1, but density was dependent on both topographic position and distance to wind-dispersed seed sources. Scarification nearly doubled Alaska birch (Betula neoalaskana Sarg.) stem density and basal area compared to non-scarified control plots. Planted white spruce plots supported 19% less birch basal area, except in the most intensive scarification treatments in which birch basal area did not differ. Although quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) density and basal area were generally unaffected by the regeneration silvicultural practices in this study, intensive scarification reduced basal area by half on slope plots. These results confirm that regeneration silvicultural practices continue to influence stand development beyond the stem initiation stage, but practices that promote one species may reduce others.

▼ When Alaska achieved statehood in January 1959, it was recognized that not only did the state contain valuable resources such as gold, oil and an abundance of fish and wildlife, but it also was a unique and pristine frontier unlike that found anywhere else in the United States. In 1968, the Atlantic Richfield Oil Company announced that one of the largest oil deposits ever found in North America was located at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. This discovery became the basis for myriad questions which fueled a controversy that continues today: should there be development in other portions of the Arctic Coastal Plain? In 1980, passage of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act expanded the Arctic Wildlife Range (established in 1960) to 19 million acres and was renamed the Arctic Wildlife National Refuge (ANWR) (arcticcircle.uconn.edu/anwr, 2002). Although the Act effectively excluded the Coastal Plain from oil and mineral exploitation by introducing the concept of reserving “national-interest lands” for Americans as a whole, ANWR and development therein became a subject of intense controversy. More than a quarter of a century later, the struggle between those who want to drill and those who do not continues to be hotly debated. However, another form of development within ANWR, tourism, is seldom considered.An exploratory on-line survey was used to determine the attitudes and opinions of the general public as they relate to tourism and oil development. Two key assumptions were that people would not consider tourism to be a form of development and that few people would be familiar with Section 1002 which is the area available for oil drilling, another form of development. Results showed that, in general, survey participants agreed tourism is a form of development but drew no relationship between tourism and potential negative environmental impacts. The survey also pointed to the need for data acquisition, monitoring on a broader scale, assessment of socio-culture impacts, and greater educational outreach to disseminate the facts and inform the public responsibly.

▼ Tallgrass prairie once extended from Manitoba south to Texas and southeast to Indiana covering 100 million hectares prior to European settlement. Today less than 0.1% remains in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Tallgrass prairie is a diverse ecosystem with small remnants (1–2 ha) containing a large number of plant species (> 100). With most of the ecosystem lost, active efforts to replant tallgrass prairie began in the 1930s. Unfortunately, even the oldest restorations do not have plant communities similar to native prairies. My research attempts to understand the factors limiting successful restoration of native plant diversity by focusing on intensive surveys of three native and two restored prairies in Iowa. In each prairie, I sampled seven 0.5 m² plots using a frame with 49 grid points 10 cm apart and resurveyed these plots across successive years. I also collected soil cores and biomass and litter measurements in each plot. I analyzed plant community composition with a nonmetric multidimensional scaling ordination and fine-scale community structure with point richness and similarity metrics. Native prairies differed from restorations in plant community composition and had higher total carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous, while restorations had higher plant available phosphorous. Native prairies also had higher richness from plot to point scales and lower similarity of neighboring plants at distances of centimeters. Restorations differ from native prairies at coarse and fine scales, and there was no indication that these restorations became more similar to native prairies over time. My work is the first to document fine-scale structure of plant diversity in native and restored prairies. By identifying that contemporary restoration practices do not result in plant communities that develop toward native prairies in composition, my work highlights our current limited understanding of the elements structuring plant communities and our ability to recreate this structure.
