TL;DR: In this article, the White Mountain Apache Tribe demonstrates how such cultural foundations can permeate and motivate ecological restoration efforts, through interviews with tribal cultural advisors and restoration practitioners, examined how various traditions inform their understanding of restoration processes, and demonstrated the value of understanding and promoting diverse cultural foundations of restoration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review and synthesis of recent science to inform revisions of forest plans and land management across 17 national forests occurring within the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) area.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between tribal social-ecological systems and public lands in the Pacific Northwest and found that many factors stemming from colonization by Euro-Americans have engendered social ecological traps that have inhibited tribes from continuing traditional land stewardship activities that supported their well-being and maintained ecological integrity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a three-volume science synthesis of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP), which was developed to resolve debates over old-growth forests, endangered species and timber production on federal forests in the range of the northern spotted owl.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a three-volume science synthesis that addresses various ecological and social concerns regarding management of federal forests encompassed by the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP), including the impact of nonnative barred owls (Strix varia) on northern spotted owl populations, effects of fire suppression on forest succession, fire behavior in dry forests, and the effects of climate change and invasive species on native biodiversity.
