ORISE US Forest Service Postdoc Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education Newport, Rhode Island, United States
Our poster will develop a story of differing post-disturbance (management and wildfire) successional trajectories at the Miller Creek Demonstration Forest, a long-term research partnership between managers and researchers. We use photographic and quantitative evidence from past work between 1966 and 2000, and ongoing remeasurement to document 55 years post-disturbance succession.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the history of research at Miller Creek Demonstration Forest and the role of the plant succession study within this.
Visualize a 55-year time sequence of forest development, depicted in color photographs, from 1966 to 2022.
Describe the influence of different disturbance types and intensities on longer-term successional trajectories at Miller Creek Demonstration Forest.
Understand some important implications of the work at Miller Creek Demonstration Forest for contemporary silviculture and management objectives.
