  Toolbox to inform decisions about current and potential elk habitat across western Oregon and Washington

  A newly revised toolbox in ArcGIS enables users to project nutrition and habitat use for elk across 11 million hectares of western Oregon and Washington. Wildlife biologists and forest planners can also use the toolbox to evaluate how management alternatives will likely affect elk habitat. A dual set of instructions provides guidance to those working within the Forest Service spatial analysis environment and for anyone using the models in a desktop application.

  Grazing interacts with fuel treatments

  Many dry coniferous forests and woodlands of the interior West carry a high wildfire risk from a legacy of fire suppression and insect outbreaks. In response, forest managers commonly try to reduce flammable fuels through thinning and prescribed burning treatments. These landscapes are also home to wild ungulates like elk and mule deer, and to domestic livestock.

  Deer, elk, and salmon habitat

  Riparian restoration for threatened and endangered salmon is a billion-dollar endeavor in the Pacific Northwest. Restoration efforts often include planting streamside vegetation to shade and cool the streams and stabilize streambanks. However, these new plantings are often eaten by cattle, elk, and deer.

  Aboveground and belowground herbivores control growth and survival of deciduous shrubs in understories of conifer forests

  These research results on the combined effects of herbivory by cattle, elk, and pocket gophers provide robust new knowledge about how mammalian eating habits affect understory vegetation in dry coniferous forests following fuels reduction and prescribed burning.

  Exotic plants, grazing, and forest thinning

  Exotic plant species have great potential to damage or alter forests and grasslands. When a new species is introduced into an ecosystem, other creatures may not have the resistance strategies to compete with this new influence.

  Fuels Reduction and Ungulate Grazing Effects on Exotic Plant Species are Short-lived in Upland Forest Understories

  Disturbances of fire and domestic ungulates have been shown to facilitate the spread and establishment of exotic plant species in many grassland and shrubland ecosystems across the world; however, these relationships are not well-documented for forested ecosystems, especially dry forests of interior western North America, where fuels reduction treatments and ungulate grazing are common.
