Article
Full-text available
Forest owners need simple and efficient tools to capture and understand forest metrics. Additionally, they could benefit from emerging technologies in forest analysis. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors allow for precise measurements of different variables and can be used more easily in forestry settings thanks to their introduction into s...
Article
Full-text available
Introduced annual grasses (IAGs) have invaded tens of millions of hectares of western US rangelands, displacing native vegetation and altering ecosystem functions and services. Our main goal was to assess the influence of introduced annual grasses by 1) exploring the relationships among IAG cover, species richness, diversity, and cover of other pla...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
There is growing interest in agroforestry as a climate solution, given its potential to store additional carbon in agricultural landscapes, while also enhancing livelihoods and biodiversity. However, substantial uncertainty remains around how much carbon can be captured, and how that varies by location and by practice. One of the central challenges...
Article

Scientists and natural resource managers require suitable vegetation survey methods to assess the success of rangeland restoration projects. Visual estimation and point intercept methods are commonly used to evaluate vegetation cover. This study compared the performance of one visual (quadrat-based) and two line point intercept (LPI – canopy and ba...
Article
Full-text available
In the Western Gulf region of the United States cold-tolerant eucalyptus have been explored as pulpwood feedstock. However, non-native plantations may alter understory species diversity, modifying environmental conditions and soil characteristics. Few studies have compared eucalyptus plantations with native ecosystems to understand the impact on un...
Article
Full-text available
Agroforestry systems may play an important role in mitigating climate change, having the ability to sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in plant parts and soil. A meta-analysis was carried out to investigate changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks at 0–15, 0–30, 0–60, 0–100, and 0 ≥ 100 cm, after land conversion to agroforestry. Data was...
