Some Past Adaptive COPE Projects

Slope Stability

• Modeling root reinforcement in shallow forest soils
• Assessing the stability of end-haul disposal areas

Wildlife and Fisheries

• Long-term response of resident coastal cutthroat trout to forest harvest
• Habitat relationships of arboreal rodents in managed Coast Range forests
• Influence of silvicultural operations on stand structure and wildlife abundance and diversity in managed Coast Range forests
• Habitat relationships and riparian-zone associations of bats in managed Coast Range forests

Riparian Silviculture

• Establishment and growth of conifers under existing riparian vegetation
• Active riparian-area management: effects on multiple forest resources
• Release of suppressed conifers in alder-dominated riparian zones

Large Stream-borne Woody Debris

• Influence of woody debris piece size and orientation on function in small streams

Reforestation

• Commercial thinning and underplanting to enhance structural diversity of young Douglas-fir stands
• Pruning and fertilizing precommercially thinned Douglas-fir stands in the Oregon Coast Range
