Rick Miller, Professor Emeritus with the Eastern Oregon Agricultural Research Center at Oregon State University, will discuss the intent and goals of his latest publication, The Ecology, History, Ecohydrology, and Management of Pinyon and Juniper Woodlands in the Great Basin and Northern Colorado Plateau in the Western United States. The report, published in December by the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS), includes coauthors from three Agricultural Research Service locations as well as RMRS.
The webinar will include 1) Describing the the woodlands and the vast variation across the Great Basin and Colorado Plateau, 2) Telling the story of their history and variables influencing woodland expansion and contraction, and 3) Interpretation of the wide variation in responses and the variables influencing ecosystem response to restoration.
