“…A regional gap analysis (Scott & Jennings 1998) was implemented using the AVHRR-derived land-cover map (Davis et al 1997). Such regional approaches are useful for determining large-scale trends and placing local land use practices within a regional context (Haynes et al 1996;Dale et al 1999). Such regional approaches are useful for determining large-scale trends and placing local land use practices within a regional context (Haynes et al 1996;Dale et al 1999).…”

“…Folke et al, 2004). Therefore, RASE is intended to provide the data and interpretive tools needed to address planning objectives and place land-use planning decisions for specific areas in the appropriate context (Haynes et al, 1996;Jensen et al, 2001). RASE information provides the context for decisions made by managers and for the implementation of these decisions, and should be the template for future planning and the iterative process of adaptive management (e.g.…”

“…The choice of a flexible, adaptive-management-oriented planning process is a critical step in RASE (Shea et al, 1998;Johnson, 1999;Morrison-Saunders and Bailey, 1999;Haeuber, 2001;Walker et al, 2002). A prototype of such a planning process for RASE (adapted from Lessard, 1995;Haynes et al, 1996;Bourgeron et al, 2001a, Jensen et al, 2001see Yaffee et al, 1996 andWalker et al, 2002 for alternative models) is presented in figure 1. Part of the process includes the exploration of alternative scenarios that allow all participants, including stakeholders, to think in broad terms about possible futures (Walker et al, 2002;Guzy et al, 2008).…”

“…It is a tool which incorporates all aspects of RASE (data, analyses, and products) to determine the implications and tradeoffs of various possible environmental and land use scenarios (Lessard, 1995;Haynes et al, 1996;Walker et al, 2002;Guzy et al, 2008). Each scenario describes a set of possible outcomes given a particular land use approach and/or environmental change.…”

“…Large regional federal assessments such as the one that led to the adoption of the Northwest Forest Plan (USDA and USDI 1994) were limited because (1) they were restricted to federal lands; (2) they did not have the capacity to spatially project landscape changes under the policy alternatives; and (3) they emphasized species-level measures of biological diversity rather than a combination of species, structure, and dynamics. The Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project (Haynes et al 2001) was an advance in regional assessments. It projected landscape change into the future for alternative federal land policies and evaluated a variety of species and landscape indicators (Hemstrom et al 2001, Raphael et al 2001).…”

Potential Effects of Forest Policies on Terrestrial Biodiversity in a Multi-Ownership Province

We used spatial simulation models to evaluate how current and two alternative policies might affect potential biodiversity over 100 years in the Coast Ranges Physiographic Province of Oregon. This 2.3-million-ha province is characterized by a diversity of public and private forest owners, and a wide range of forest policy and management objectives. We evaluated habitat availability for seven focal species representing different life histories. We also examined how policies affected old-growth stand structure, age distributions relative to the historical range of variability, and landscape patterns of forest types. Under the current policy scenario, the area of habitat for old-growth forest structure and associated species increased over time, the habitat for some early-successional associates remained stable, and the area of hardwood vegetation and diverse early-successional stages declined. The province is projected to move toward but not reach the historical range of variation of forest age classes that may have occurred under the wildfire regimes of the pre-Euroamerican settlement period. Ownership explained much of the pattern of biodiversity in the province, and under the current policy scenario, its effect increased over time as the landscape diverged into highly contrasting forest structures and ages. Patch type diversity declined slightly overall but declined strongly within ownerships. Most of the modeled change in biodiversity over time resulted from policies on public forest lands that were intended to increase the area of late-successional forests and species. One of the alternative policies, increased retention of wildlife trees on private lands, reduced the contrast between ownerships and increased habitat availability over time for both early- and late-successional species. Analysis of another alternative, stopping thinning of plantations on federal lands, indicated that current thinning regimes improve habitat for the Olive-sided Flycatcher, but the no-thinning alternative had no effect on the habitat scores for the late-successional species in the 100-year simulation. A comparison of indicators of biological diversity suggests that using focal species and forest structural measures can provide complementary information on biodiversity. The multi-ownership perspective provided a more complete synthesis of province-wide biodiversity patterns than assessments based on single ownerships.
