The relevant literature is presented, along with unpublished research, experience, and observations. Research needs are also proposed.
Land managers in the Pacific Northwest have reported a need for updated scientific information on the ecology and management of mixed-conifer forests east of the Cascade Range in Oregon and Washington. Of particular concern are the moist mixed-conifer forests, which have become drought-stressed and vulnerable to high-severity fire after decades of human disturbances and climate warming. This synthesis presents a compilation of existing research across multiple natural resource issues, including disturbance regimes, the legacy effects of past management actions, wildlife habitat, watershed health, restoration concepts from a landscape perspective, and social policy concerns. This report provides considerations for management, while also emphasizing the importance of local knowledge when applying this information at the local and regional level. Figures and tables.
