TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified ecosystem carbon stocks at the seaward, interior, and upland edges of mangroves in the Republic of Palau and Yap, Federated States of Micronesia.

TL;DR: Data is presented from a study of early conifer regeneration and fuel loads after the 2002 Biscuit Fire, Oregon, USA, with and without postfire logging, which reduced median regeneration density, significantly increased downed woody fuels, and thus increased short-term fire risk.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors addressed two questions about a suite of supporting, regulating and provisioning ecosystem services in each of two well-studied forest landscapes in the western US: (1) How might the provision of ecosystem services change in the future given anticipated trajectories of climate, disturbance regimes, and land use; (2) What is the role of spatial heterogeneity in sustaining future ecosystem services?

TL;DR: The results suggest that salvage logging is not consistent with the management objectives of protected areas, and substantial changes, such as the retention of dead wood in naturally disturbed forests, are needed to support biodiversity.

TL;DR: Estimation of several important components of the carbon balance in forests in Oregon and Northern California during the 1990s found there is still potential to significantly increase the land-based carbon storage by increasing rotation age and reducing harvest rates.
